ReplyDeleteI love all of your parties and this one is no exception. All of the details are amazing and love that colors. I bet it was a very fun party and that is quite remarkable that no fights broke out with 27 kids:-) This one will go into the inspiration file for sure.
ReplyDeleteAHH! i looks great. those crates work like a charm. And I love the popcorn boxes. I am so happy he loved my little gift!
ReplyDeletethis truly was the bestest party ever! It was just wonderful, a balmy summer twilight, loads of laughter, swimming, brilliant food, kids running everywhere - gosh can we do it all over again! You did the most beautiful job Big Bear xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteYou are just so talented - your kids are very lucky! The colour combo is great!
ReplyDeleteWow. I am green (and blue) with envy.
ReplyDeleteOh it looks fabulous! Love the colour combination and all the coordinating details. Your son is very lucky to have such a creative Mum x
ReplyDeleteSharnel Sharnel you have excelled yourself - as always!! Right you have inspired me to do the dessert buffet for Sofia's 4th birthday party in March - she has requested a princess party so I am on to it as of now!! First question is for your signage are you using scrapbook cardstock cut down to fit in your printer or are you using standard A4 paper? Have a million more questions so will be back to ask more!! I need you in Sydney!! Leanne

I am organising my hubby's 40th and we are having an 80's party and you have inspired me. Where do I find the lolly jars and scoops? I am from Brisbane too. Redskins, milk bottles, strawberry's and cream...but I think we had little white packets and paid 20c for a whole packet in the 80s.
ReplyDeleteI am just loving your blog Sharnel, this dessert table especially! Thanks so much for all the inspiring ideas, I hope you don't mind but I posted about you on my blog today too:

Everything looked so beautiful. I am so inspired looking at all the pictures. Would you be able to tell me what software you used to creat all the personalized tags and labels? I am planing my daughter's 1st birthday and I actually never made any personalized tags or labels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteKamal - I use photoshop. If you are having problems though, you could always get Nathalie from Imprintables to make them for you. www.imprintables.com.au
ReplyDeleteThere are so many comments I dont' know if this has been asked yet ... what is the font you use on your tags? Do you get these especially printed or do you print (hand/computer) yourself? V. Nice!
ReplyDeleteLittlemiss - the font is Crayon E.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharnel. What a fantastic party. I'm so inspired! Just wondering who you shipped your m&m's over from? I am also in Brisbane and can't seem to find individual coloured m&m's! thanks
ReplyDeleteDanny - a friend who lives in California shipped them to me. They don't produce them here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharnel, Suzanne here (using my husbands email). I'm just wondering where you bought the wooden tie pegs from to use for the pinwheels? I have searched everywhere and can't seem to locate them. many thanks
ReplyDeleteThey are from Riot Art & Craft
ReplyDeleteHi, could you tell me what section you found the boxes in in Bunnings? I can't find them! Your display is every inspirational and I am going to "steal" some ideas for my son's barnyard/farm party. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteShellBell they are in the crafts section. Hope your son's party goes well!
ReplyDeleteX
Love the overall colors! very colorful…:) The whole things look so great! And there's nothing more than having the family together. Nothing is more important than that!
