With Christmas only one week away, it was about time I designed something for the New Year!
If there's an occasion that calls for glitter and bling it's New Year's Eve. It's such an exciting and glamorous night as we celebrate with our close ones and make plans for the year ahead.

With that in mind, I created a new theme featuring items with a golden glitter effect, to help you welcome the New Year in style!

There's something about the smell of freshly baked cookies. It reminds me of my childhood and of those long Summers spent at my grandparent's house, where my grandmother used to bake all sorts of cookies for the family. By the end of the holidays we always came home with a few jars of cookies each and we loved them!

And who doesn't love the combination of milk and cookies, right?
I created this little setup to show you my "Cookies and Milk" theme in action. A simple table with just a few treats turns into a sweet party setting, with the help of some printables.
I love the cute printable signs and the fact that you can keep using them after the party. And I was so happy to finally use those baby blue polka dot straws. How adorable are they with the little flags?

This is a great theme for first birthdays and for cookie lovers of all ages!

December is here and with it comes Christmas and Summer. This is my 3rd Christmas down under and it still feels a bit weird not to feel cold during this season...

But there's nothing like a night walk in Sydney to get me in the Christmas mood, so I headed to the city on Saturday night. There's just so much to do and see at this time of the year!
You can't miss the David Jones' Christmas windows, with animated puppets and music, for the delight of kids and grown ups.

Every evening, after sunset, you can enjoy spectacular light projections in Town Hall's facade on George Street.
From December 12, "The Lights of Christmas" show will bring St Mary's Cathedral to life and gather thousands of viewers right up to Christmas night. This is my favourite Christmas show and one not to be missed!

In Martin Place, you'll find the traditional Christmas tree, but this year with a twist. You can text a message to the interactive tree and it will be displayed along a special LED ribbon, with words travelling up the branches for everyone to see.

There's also the colossal Swarovski Christmas Tree in the iconic Queen Victoria Building, spanning three floors and holding over 144,000 sparkling Swarovski crystal ornaments and 60,000 twinkling lights. It's truly a sight to be seen.

Christmas is approaching fast and I've been adding a few more printables to the shop.

Christmas decoration is not only about the Christmas tree. A nice frame with a festive print over the fireplace or at another featured spot of your house will help you set the mood for the Christmas season.
