D.i.y party favours

Jacob turned one while we were still in Aussie and unlike singapore where you can find shops selling anything and everything, Launceston doesn't have much. So hunting down decent party favours that didn't cost a bomb was not an option. So I made my own :D. I am kind of a hoarder. Not for rubbish though, but things I can definitely use again, in this case, the key items would be baby food jars and scrap booking paper. Every time I see a beautiful patterned paper in a magazine/flyer anywhere at all, as long as it had no words or other pictures spoiling it, I cut it out and stuck it in a file. See in Launceston I was lucky enough to have a spare room for myself which I stored my heavy coats, bags, shoes and all my hobby craft and sale items so I could simply collect what I want and store it. And I kept baby food jars to portion out Jacobs meal portions for daily use. 

Instructions 

- remove sticker label and sticky residue from outside jars, simply removing the label before u put them in the dishwasher is enough. Let the dishwater to the work. 

- fill the jars with jellybeans/gummy/candy whatever u want, but avoid chocolate unless they are individually wrapped pieces. 

- measure the size of the cap, cut out circles from the coloured paper you want to paste on the top of the cap. Write your event/guest names or whatever you want on the top for easy viewing. 

- measure the jar and cut out long strips of paper you want to cover your jar in, this depends of course on the size of the jar and exactly how much of the jar you want to cover. 

- finally, attach a ribbon round the screw top for extra embellishment, if the ribbon refuses to stay on you can use a tiny dab of non toxic glue to keep it there. 

There you go! Your very own d.i.y extremely affordable party favours !!!

La Martina

Darling Husband and I were invited to the grand opening of La Martina at Marina Bay Sands last night to support our dear friend Ameer who is one of their gorgeous fashion ambassadors. Save you the history report by giving you the LINK (click here to go to La Martina's official website). It's been so long since I was invited to anything of the sort since Launceston has nothing fancy like that to offer, also what with the baby and everything. So anyway, it was an amazing event with delicious canapes and drinks, stunning models and most importantly gorgeous clothes. The new store was beautiful and tastefully decorated, extremely spacious and well designed. My mother very kindly watched over Jacob while Christopher and I enjoyed a rare night out (he was on my mind almost every other minute though). Like every other post I have to make this a short one as Jacob is already clinging to my leg, but stay tuned for pictures and I'd like to extend a big thank you to Ameer for inviting us and job well done to everyone who was involved in making last night such a big success! We had an amazing time <3 <3
