Christmas, 2010

Christmas, 25th December 2010. For me family time is the most precious time. The best way to celebrate Christmas is with your loved ones. Here we are having an informal Christmas party, where we had loads of fun . We chatted and laughed the night away. What greater gift can one ask for.

Vintage Tea Party

On Saturday the 26^th of March I hosted a vintage tea party for my birthday in my own back yard. This was great fun planning and baking everything in preparation for the tea party. Luckily my mom is a great cook and helped me a lot.

Girls just wanne have fun.....

Queen of Hearts

My sister’s youngest daughter, Lea, turned 5 on the 3rd of March 2011.

She requested an all pink and all hearts party. I tried my best to make all her wishes come true.

We planned two parties, one for the family and then one for friends from school.

The first party was a picnic under some oak trees and next to a tranquil swimming spot. The kids had lots of fun playing “boeresport” and swimming.

The second party was held on the “stoep” of their farmhouse. It had a nice farm feeling to it. The parents gathered round the fire till late, while the kids played in the dust.

 May the Queen of Hearts have love forever!

Pink & Green Polkadot Party

On a cool summer morning, I had the privilege of helping my sister-in-law and my brother setting up their 1 year old daughter's first birthday party.

We started planning months beforehand to ensure everything was perfect for their little princess.

The little ones were seated on the grass under a gazebo, decorated with flags and balloons. No need for chairs as they are quite comfortable sitting on the grass and it is much safer.

I have also designed the birthday invitation for this festive event in little Mia’s life. She might not remember this event one day, but she surely enjoyed it!
