{DIY} Baby Shower Jungle Cake

For Katie’s baby shower back in September I decorated a cake to match her Jungle Animals theme, it was lots of fun and I LOVE how it turned out! I’ve come to realise I’m definitely more of a decorator than a baker, so I bought a chocolate mud cake from The Cheesecake Shop and decorated [...]

Happy Halloween : part 1

Last night we had a Halloween Party at JA’s mom’s house. We’d spent a lot of the day running around doing stuff, and didn’t have a lot of time to get ready (we were late as it was). I threw together a “gypsy/pirate” outfit using clothes and accessories I already had, and JA ended up [...]

Nandy’s 90th Birthday

I just had to share this photo of my grandma blowing out her candles at her 90th birthday party. Amazing, right?

Halloween party!

As I’ve posted a few times already, I decided to throw a Halloween party for my 25th this year. I think I like planning and decorating for parties almost more than attending them, that’s the fun part!

In the end I had a really great time, about 20 of my good friends came and ate and drank and were merry! I’d set up a bucket to bob for apples, apparently it was too easy because the bucket was too shallow, but it was pretty funny watching the boys anyway.

For her son’s 6th Birthday party, she created these totally amazing invitations by photographing her kid (complete with cute bowling shirt and hat) outside a 50′s style bowling alley, designing some graphics to go with the theme, printing, cutting, pasting… and viola!

Doggie Bones Costume for Halloween

I came across this cute costume today whilst looking for halloween costume ideas: Not many people in Australia actually celebrate Halloween, but I’ve wanted to have a Halloween party for YEARS, so decided for my quarter of a century this year I’m going ahead and doing it. I designed my party invite today (and by [...]
