Yesterday was my last party before Christmas and the theme, Alice in Wonderland/ Mad Hatters Tea Party. I had been looking forward to this party for ages….it was a great one to work on.

The day started early at 6.15 *yawn* and then progressed with Milo (puppy Kelly) being sick in the kitchen *fudge*. It did get better though I’m pleased to say. My lovely mum came to get Milo so she could keep an eye on him and all the Buttons girls arrived, passports in hand […]

I discovered these in Summer and the kids LOVE them, so I have just purchased some new Christmas designs for my December parties and can’t wait to get glittering! The glitter art is ideal for children who are not keen on face painting or at events when face painting it not appropriate, […]
Happy 8th December! I remember my bed time reading with mum and dad very well and I’m sure it’s one of the reasons I love reading so much as an adult. I am dyslexic, so reading was never one of my strong points at school. I went to a school that specialized in helping dyslexic […]
