STOCKING FILLER?

If you love kitsch as much as I do, you may have noticed a selection of very cute biscuit tins in Woolworths lately. Well, today, I found one that I simply couldn't resist - how adorable is Mr Fireman below? Keep an eye out for this little guy when you are next treading the aisles. I think he would make a neat stocking filler...

CHRISTMAS COOKIES

I am SUCH a sucker for decorated cookies. I am loving these beautiful Christmas cookie ideas from countryliving.com.

REAL PARTY PICS

Today we are featuring the stupidly gorgeous Pink and White Party that wonder mum, Skye, pulled together for her daughter Ally's 5th Birthday.

The Birthday girl stipulated that there must be pink and white food "with a bit of sparkle". Enter EDIBLE GLITTER!

Click on the images below for a larger view of the party pics - the details are exquisite. I especially love the hot pink seats and the little lady-like hat cookies!

Party hats off to Skye for this incredible event - Ally must have been one very happy little girl! Thanks for sharing and you are in the running for the Radio Flyer scooter.

SOME LITTLE CHRISTMAS JOY

We're going to be away from home this Christmas, and our little man is still a bit too young for a decorated tree (unless you add the words "to destroy"), but I love love love Christmas so I have scattered a few decorations around the living room to liven up the place. My little vintage soldiers and these fuzzy little reindeer are this year's favourites!

I also made a few little lolly bags for darling husband to hand out to the kids that he teaches (teenage boys, so sure to be totally unappreciated!).

ORIGAMI BIRTHDAY INVITATIONS

Love this cute and playful Origami birthday invitation sent to us by mum Kate...

REAL PARTY PHOTOS

Today we feature an AMAZING Lego birthday party. These pics have been sent to us by Carol, mum of Lego-mad Addison (6).

The details of this party are simply INCREDIBLE...read on and enjoy!

• The invitations featured a photo collage of him with his latest creation; the Lego Police Station.


• When each child RSVP'd I asked the parents for a recent photo of their child. I used these photos to create a Lego, photo caricature of each child. The girls had pink shirts and hats while the boys had red and blue. These little Lego people then featured on their party favours, along with selected Lego characters and their names printed using a Lego style font. Rather than just using bags with lollies, I made ceramic mugs for each child. Inside each mug was a fridge magnet with their Lego person photo and a few yummy treats.


• I had fun with the cake, although it did take ages to make. The kids all had coloured tongues after eating this creation!


• We mostly played traditional party games including sack races, pass the parcel, water balloon basketball, limbo, etc.


• I also made a Lego brick piniata with my son out of papier mache.

Well-done Carol, and thanks so much for sharing. You are in with the chance to win the Radio Flyer scooter!
