You may think that I am a bit obsessed with bubbles, and you’d be right! haha I love them. I have been using some new bubbles for the last few weeks and wanted to tell you about them. I found them at Hobbycraft where they are called Magic Bubbles but you can also get […]
I started Buttons Children’s Parties just over a year ago now, and in that year it has developed and grown. As well as children’s party entertainment I also offer a venue styling service, party bags, sweet tables and large event entertainment for kids. I love how creative my job is and that I can […]
At 37 years old and two pregnancies later, I am feeling wobbly, and droopy, and don’t feel that confident about the way I look. So I now channel all my efforts into making my girls look nice. Having two daughters, I get lots of chances to dress them up; weddings, kids’ parties, christenings, even […]
Happy Friday everyone. Today I wanted to introduce Ewa from Little Bites. You may remember her from the Sun, Sea and Sand post that I linked to Kate’s blog. Yes, she is the lady who made the cute kite cookies and rainbow jellies for my Kite shoot on the beach. I met Ewa though […]
Ever since making giant pinwheels for a photoshoot I did on the beach last summer, I have been a bit obsessed with speciality paper and scrapbook pads. If you haven’t seen them, you can find lots of choice in Hobbycraft and online. For the giant pinwheels I used a K&COMPANY book called ‘Sparkly Sweet’. […]
When I’m at the checkout I always make a guess in my head as to what the total will be. I try and go higher just so I don’t feel bad. Do you do this? Well it hardly ever works, I have always spend much more than I should have. I went to Hobbycraft last […]
Towards the start of the year Buttons Children’s Parties got a call and I was asked by a lovely mum called Tanya to host her daughter’s birthday entertainment and to make the area where the children would eat look special. The theme Mermaids. The plan was for the party to be in the family […]
My version of pass the parcel for Buttons Parties is a bit different and I thought I would share it with you today as it may help any go it alone party planners at your next party. Pass the parcel can cause tears and if you have 20+ layers it can really drag on! My […]
Hi everyone, I hope you’ve had a nice Monday. My post is a bit late today as I have been battling with my email server. But I’m here now, with a bit of magic on in the background (how old am I!) as I really wanted to share with you the mermaid backdrop I […]
I have had the urge to bake a cake for weeks now, I did make one funny Victoria sponge last week but I’m not so sure that it isn’t a crime against cakes to even call it that. So on Wednesday I was feeling a bit creative and pulled out a children party cake book for […]
Fancy dress. These words bring dread and a cold sweat for some, but to others pure joy. Id have to say I sit more with the first group. I’m not really a dressing up person, unless all that is needed is a bit of styling around the edges. Western party = cowboy hat, cute floral […]
I don’t have one friend getting married this year. So no new dress, tears at the ceremony or late night wedding dancing for me. It is estimated however that 50,000 brides will be getting married in the UK this summer. That means there must be quite a few of you that are planning on […]
