Easter has hatched early in the loopylu designs household 🐣🥕🌼 🐰

The next 🥰

Do you have any birthday traditions for you or your little one/s? I’ve decided ours is going to be a birthday crown! Can you guess the theme?! 🐚🧜🏻‍♀️👑

There’ll be no hand stamped Christmas wrap or homemade Christmas cards this year.

But there is the annual handmade Christmas door wreath which I’ve gone all tradish with this year using dried orange, cinnamon sticks, pine cones, twigs and red berries.

Oh and I’m rather pleased with these handmade silk clip on rose tree decs which cost me a fraction of the price to make than the shop bought.

Okay so I know you're supposed to leave your own baby shower to the organiser (my poor mum!) but being the craft loving control freak that I am I couldn't help but do a few bits! Anyone that knows me well will know I'm a big fan of photos (you only have to look at my Instagram!) so it was important for me to be able to document my baby shower with lots of photos. I was inspired by some photo booth props I got in a Christmas pass the parcel to put a fun spin on it and create a photo booth frame complete with personalised hashtag of baby's nickname. The pictures also provided great fodder for my thank you cards!

⚓️Nautical themed decor for a birthday dinner at a nautical themed restaurant ⚓️ Navy and white candy striped paper bags were filled with Belinda Clark gourmet marshmallows as thank you favours/party bags. Navy and white striped paper straws were decorated with 'happy birthday' flags. The birthday girl's initial and age formed the centre piece. Buttons featured throughout, on the place names also. A great night was had by all and the gourmet marshmallows went down a storm yum yum!
