Spirit of Christmas

I am happy... happy... happy today.. My Santa arrived from Sydney last night.. And when I'm happy.. I need to add to some cheer on my center table.. So at 5am today... a few pretty things... crinkle paper.... in an IKEA vase. Looked a bit incomplete.... In the true spirit of Christmas... this is what I did!!

HE needed some place before being in the crib on 25th Dec...

Did you like my joy??? Here is wishing you all a Merry Christmas.... well in advance.

Random red & gold

Randomly putting together red & gold... in an IKEA vase to make it look Christmasy.... A little bit of sparkle..

I picked this box in Colombo..... It will soon be filled with chocolates..

Do you like my red box?? Does it look Christmasy?

Birthday Party

It was pouring here on Friday… and the pool party had to be cancelled. We didn’t have a second plan ready… and didn’t have the time to plan!! We had loads of décor ideas planned for the garden / pool party… but we had to move indoors. So we put up half the decorations almost randomly… Here are a few pics of the flip flop themed party… Lets start with a flip flop balloon….

A few banners..

The kids arrived and we were still putting up the rest of the décor…

Another special birthday banner...

Napkins ... all ready for a meal...

What do you think of the cake...

A closer look...

the muffins... with flip flops on them...

a closer look....

the pinata....

the kids got to take these little tote bags home... and I sure hope they will reuse the bags...

Thank you to my army of elves... without them, the party would not have been possible... We were running out of time.. and hence forgot to click pictures of other hanging decor .... There were some pretty lanters... and other stuff... I've saved the decor for next time...

At the end.... we were exhausted... but the kids had a great time.... Hope you enjoyed seeing the photographs... as much as we enjoyed preparing for the party...

Weekened cheer

My weekend is going to be super busy.... filled with excitement, enthusiasm and loads of fun (I hope!) .. Saying that.. my weekends are always busy *sigh* At this point, flowers is the only thing that can truly cheer me up....

So here is me... passing on some of my weekend cheer to you...

I love flowers, in any colour.... in any shape.... in any container!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Christmas Colours

So what colours is your Christmas? The colours speak for themselves.....
