I got the great printables from Cutie Putti Paperie and the wonderful Wendy from Party Carousel worked her papercraft magic on them for me (while all my papercraft tools still sit in storage, aargh!).
Milla was thrilled with her party and despite chucking a wobbly when she didn't win pass the parcel, had a great time. And we finished the very hot day (I really did NOT plan her due date very well) with a lovely swim at the beach with some of the party guests.
I was a bit disappointed with how some of the treats turned out after I injured my finger 4 days before the party so was working with only my left hand (I'm right handed). Mum helped me out heaps but it was still a little frustrating that things didn't look the way I wanted them to. Oh well, mister 2 is turning 3 in March so I can hopefully do better then :)
My first attempt at a 'buffet table'.
Best and Less dress 'hack' to make a summer friendly, Mary Poppins inspired Jolly Holiday dress for the birthday girl. She loved it but it got too hot so only stayed on for about at hour.
When I iced these cupcakes it was 34degrees celsius and 78% humidity. NOT ideal conditions LOL!
Yes, these are supposed to be carousel horses ;)
Plan D for the birthday cake. I was going to have my first attempt at covering a cake in fondant but it was a little tricky one-handed so I gave up.
Mum and I got sick of rolling out the melting cookie dough, hence the squashed round cookies.
Goodie bags with chalk inside (if you're not familiar with Mary Poppins, Bert does chalk drawings that Mary and the kids jump into).
