I feel like a bit of blogging tonight and i have a perfect topic :-) My Nanna's Tea Party was this afternoon. We were celebrating her 80th birthday. She is such a wonderful lady and it was wonderful to be with her and see all her lovely friends.

It is a wonderful place where my Nanna lives, in the retirement village they have a communal centre that any of the residents can hire out for parties and celebrations. I am also very lucky to be part of a lovely family who all helped out with the preparation and the clean up. We all love our Nanna/Mother so much.

The photos above show all my lovely decorations for the party! I do love party planning and decorating. The next one i am planning is my Pink and Blue Christening celebration lunch for my beautiful children!!

Love is in the air

This is such an exciting year with a July & a November weddings. One for a freind and second for my brother. Such romance and fun in the air with hearing all of the lovely plans. It's nice one is a church wedding & one is a beach wedding. Bella is super excited to be the flowergirl for her uncle's wedding. We are not sure yet if she will wear pink or yellow for her dress, it depends what the bridesmaids get. And for me i better hit the walking so that come the spring/summer range of dresses i can look faboulous. Am not sure about the July cold and what to wear yet....

Yay - so much love is in the air & 2001 will bring two more weddings for us to attend :-)

Addicted to Vinnies

I will admit it honestly i am a bit addicted to looking in St Vinnies Shops. I get such satisfaction :-) Like this week i got a Myer Miss Shop top (new with a $40 tag left on it) for only 50c!!!! Last week i picked up a purple Basque Skirt for only $2, i imagine new it would have cost around $50.

I love bargains, i can justify clothes for myself at these prices :-) It's less than a cup of coffee!!

But my key to this bargain shopping is only looking for name labels when i am sorting through the racks, i find gems everytime :-)

Julie & Julia

Yesterday i had a lazy day with a friend and we watched the movie Julie & Julia. I loved it!!! I then felt very inspired that i had also started a blog & to start cooking wonderful new recipes that i have not tried before.

For my birthday i recieved a subscription to Super Food Idea's so i went today to my latest magazine and found 5 new recipes to try for next week.

I can't wait to get into cooking new things.

Cardmaking

I am back into cardmaking, i felt very inspired yesterday. I have made this beautiful card for the lovely Erin & Jared who are engaged and having a party at the end of the month!

I can't wait to make more cards, i have idea's for the next ones i want to do, ill keep you posted....
