I am her... A beautiful Birthday Present

I received this gorgeous book for my birthday from a very special friend called

I am her

It is a beautiful book full of gorgeous pictures

Inspiring quotes & phrases

and special places to write dreams and wishes

I am in love with it

When I received it in the mail on my actual birthday

I opened it and cried

It was so beautiful

I even took it to work, I didnt want to leave it.

Now it takes pride of place on display in my lounge room

and I read it every day.

There is one passage of wrting that Is my favourite

I see me in the words

As im sure you'll see a piece of you too



She is a daughter. She is a best friend.

She is a pocketful of light. She is a spark of something good, getting brighter; a dream grown large; the right thing at the right time.

She is a dancer, a singer, a thinker, a truth teller.

A connoisseur of all the things this wide world has to offer. Her spirit is the 1st thing people notice. Her mind always had a mind of its own. Her heart, though it has sometimes been hurt, bears a strong resemblance to a daffodil: it always flowers again.

So she wakes with anticipation. She finds new hills to climb. And everyone agrees that the very fact of her in the world means there is still so much more to come.

Who is she? She is me. She is you. ♥

~ I am her

Isn't it gorgeous?

And...

I shall leave with you that

And the winner iiiissss...

Boarding Passes for the 3rd birthday Please

As you may know Master J turned 3 on Friday

His party was held Sunday.

And what a day it was!

We gave Boofa the choice of a Cars party or a Plane party

and he kept saying plane everytime we asked so went with that.

I love planning and decorating partys

My aunty is a hug influence in that.

But trust me to chose a theme that has no "normal" decorations.

So after searching around and only finding plates and cups

I enlisted the help of the ever gorgeous Lil

of

Lily Chic Events & Shoppe with Lily

Lil gave me a whole plether of pictures for ideas

and i sat down with Mr S and worked out what we wanted to go with.

No easy Job as all the ideas were amazing!

This is what we came up with...

The invitations

designed and printed by Invitations by "M"

The sweets Table

Starting from the top..

The letter J

was done by me and can be ordered over at my little craft business page

Tee Lee Blue

The Happy Birthday Letters

(I simply stuck the letters on the card and ribbon)

The Cupcake toppers, Labels

and the license to fly

were all designed by Invitations by "M"

The light blue suitcase, red plane and paper straws

paper planes and spinning plane decoration

(not pictured)

Came from Shoppe With Lily

The cups and bottles of drdinks were wrapped in cardboard which I did myself.

The very cute plane cake

from Barbz Cakez

The personalised chocolates which were also used in the lolly bags

are from Affair to Remember

In honour of a beautiful little girl who was born 2 days before Master J

whom has sadly passed away we had a special little corner in her memory

Her mum runs a page called SIDS & KIDS Chairty Auction in memory of Princess Lilli

We also had cute plane crayons in the lolly bags

from House of Baby Piranha

Our entertainment was a super cool Rocket jumping castle!

All the kids had a ball on this

which can be hired from www.partycastles.com

even Lil C who had a little jump on the side

Master J had the best day except for one small tantrum he was smiling all day laughing, running and jumping

and of coursse absolutly spoilt rotten!

We could not have asked for a better day for our now BIG 3yo

Thankyou to all the lovely business's that helped me make this one of his most memorable birthdays

My gorgeous girls who helped with the food

And a bigger thankyou to everyone that came to help celebrate our little man turning into a big boy.
