Yep $11... Isn't it cute? I made it .... so easy I'll show you how.

You only need 3 things - A Candle stick (mines from IKEA), a pretty plate and some hot glue.

Just glue one to the other and wollah....

A Handmade Cake Plate

Pretty Christmas Packages

I recently joined in with the Social Media Secret Santa fun that the super lovely Chantelle from Fat Mum Slim organised. I mean, giving and recieving pretty presents and getting to know a heap of new bloggers- how could I not be involved.
Here is a pick of what I sent out ...

It went to a lovely mumma blogger that I had stumbled on before - Her name is Sonia and blogs at LionessLady. A quick Thank you to Tania from Chicken Ink for russling up a beautiful notebook for me to give her.

I got sent a beauifully wrapped package last week and vowed to save it till Christmas - well that didn't even last the day and before I knew it I was hanging my lanterns and stamping my new mail stamps all over previously wrapped presents. My gift couldn't be more perfect and I'm so happy I got involved. Thank you to Kerina from livingonlatte who bought for me.

A quick hello and welcome to my new bloggy followers from the SMSS fun and I am so looking foward to doing some more new blog reading over the holidays.

Do you Lovestamp?

I just had my favourite necklace updated with a new heart and birthstone gem.

Thank you Jo for your beautiful work!

Ah-Tissue Please

A big thank you to Daneve from Ah-Tissue, who recently sent me a pack of these beautiful tissue paper pompoms. How Gorgeous are they...? I love party planning and these decorations are so up my alley. The giant colour range will make it so difficult to choose but they are all so pretty pretty pretty.

She also makes packs of little ones perfect for the dinner party table.
