DO YOU LOVE PARTIES TOO??

Submit your party photos for your chance to win a Radio Flyer scooter just in time for Christmas!

As you may know, at I LOVE PARTIES we want our little blog to become a destination for mums (and dads) to share all things party party party.

So... if you have hosted an amazing party or two in your time and have any great decorating, food and other ideas that you'd like to share with others, then please email your photos to me via the email button to your left.

The emphasis is on sharing great party ideas, whether on a small or big budget. Parties made with love are all we are looking for...

Having said that, to incentivise everyone to share, we are offering an inaugural "Party of the Month" prize, being a Radio Flyer - My First Scooter (suitable for 2-5 years olds) (valued at $130).



NOTE THAT you also need to become a FOLLOWER of the blog be in the running to win, and I have to receive your entry BEFORE 15 DECEMBER in order to post before Christmas. Australian and NZ residents only. Needless to say, by entering you also agreed to the images you supply being posted on the blog.

AS FEATURED IN...

So so so excited that the I LOVE PARTIES Vintage Circus Party is featured on the very popular Creative Party Place blog today!!!

HOOORAH FOR MELBOURNE CUP DAY

Another year, another glorious Melbourne Cup Day, another series of failed bets.

I consoled myself variously with pink cupcakes, lamingtons and champagne.



Our little sweep...hope you had better luck than me.
