Double Digits!! A decade of life - done! That deserves a special celebration for sure.
About 18months ago I spotted, via a friends social media, a party idea I knew my girl would love. Something a little more unique than all the other parties going around, something creative, colourful and fun - my girl all over.
We used some stunning custom Giggleberry (Amy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/18236113276212667368noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699934359884165345.post-46763624869397697182017-11-02T18:30:00.000+11:002017-11-02T18:30:04.308+11:00Halloween Hair...... Boo!Halloween fell on a working week day for me this year so the morning was a busy one getting school lunches and uniforms sorted as well as myself looking half human for a day of work. Then Little Miss Giggleberry asked me, “what Halloween hairstyle are we going to do this year?” - eeeek! I hadn’t even thought about it to be honest!
A quick think and dig through my sewing room and I came up with aGiggleberry (Amy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/18236113276212667368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699934359884165345.post-32883736155562038642017-09-18T19:26:00.001+10:002017-09-18T19:30:21.458+10:00Minecraft Easter Hat ParadeThis year was the last year my babies (soooo not babies anymore but I can dream) had an Easter hat parade to be a part of. At the Jnr Giggleberry's school they only do a hat parade up to a certain grade so Little Miss Giggleberry has finished and Master Giggleberry's final year was this year.
With that being the case I let him have free reign of choice for what to have on his head...... we hit Giggleberry (Amy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/18236113276212667368noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699934359884165345.post-6375530486296555432017-05-17T12:44:00.000+10:002017-05-17T12:44:05.159+10:00Crazy Sock Day!Surely you know by now I LOVE to get my craft on when my kiddies bring home a note from school announcing a special event day like Book Week or Crazy Hair Day.

Spotted over HERE on Makerland, this is such a simple but fun way for your kiddies to hand out a Christmas card/class gift this year.

I love finding a new recipe to try and this one was just too tempting when I saw it posted by someone on Instagram. They looked so easy I had to give it them go right away.
I did have a little 'play' with the original grain & egg free recipe to make it gluten and dairy free as well (and it's also ridiculously low in nasty sugars).... Enjoy!
