Strawberry and chocolate are a delicious combination of flavours and make the perfect romantic treat for Valentine's Day.

Wether you're going for the simple chocolate dipped strawberries, present them as a bouquet or in a heart shape, they are always sure to please. Who wouldn't love any of these?

I saw this party on Kara's Party ideas and I was stunned. Such a unique theme and gorgeous styling by Red Wagon Events.

My sister called me last night asking me for a favour. My little 4 months old niece is just starting to eat and she desperately needed a planner to help her keep the introduction of solid foods organised.
This proud auntie does everything for her beautiful niece, so she came to the rescue and designed a printable kit specially for her :)

Not having kids myself yet, I find it hard to understand exactly what new parents need, but now that there is a new baby in the family, I'm starting to learn more about children and parenthood.

Introducing solid foods and keeping track of new ingredients in the baby's diet can be overwhelming. These files were designed according to a new mum's needs, to make it easier to plan the baby's meals with new ingredients, flag reactions and keep track of progress.

This month is all about Valentine's Day in my shop and I've been working hard to add new items and themes.
This year I'm concentrating on personalised bag toppers, tags and cards for classroom Valentines. All of these have an editable text field to type a child's name or small message. You can also remove the sample text in the file to print them blank, if you prefer to have your child write their name on the card.

I created a variety of formats and themes, from simple cards, to gift tags or bag toppers for ziploc bags that you can fill with your choice of treats or a small toy.

With Valentine's Day coming in just over a month, it's time to start thinking pink, red and hearts.
They say the way to a man's (or woman's) heart it's through his stomach...

Another year has passed and 2013 left some great memories behind.
I don't want 2014 to be a new beginning. Instead I want it to be an extension of these wonderful times for my family, my personal life and my little business, MyPartyDesign.

I don't usually have New Year resolutions but this year I have some goals that I want to achieve and I know I have to work on them.

So this is my list for 2014:
