Belated Birthday Indoor Picnic

Every year I always have a really belated birthday party. I usually have some type of theme. This year it was a vintage, pretty picnic. We were supposed to go to Southbank but it has been raining. Today the weather was so unpredictable. It would be sunny, then cloudy but it didn't rain. I still decided to move my little picnic to my place and have it indoors (it was also hot and muggy outside so being inside with the air conditioning was really pleasant. 

My little set up.

I put the lace on the tiny milk bottles to prettify them. And it looks great with the pink paper straws.

I made these paper pinwheels. They are one of my favourite easy decoration to make. 

My lovelies. My nephews Micah, Isaiah and Caeleb. And pretty Layla-Rose, Isaiah and Caeleb's sister. 

The food. Chocolate dipped strawberries, pepperoni, rice crackers, dips, camembert cheese, raspberry macarons, coconut macaroons (Jasmine made them - delicious!) and some vanilla with pink icing cupcakes. 

The yummy cupcakes. 

I have a few Instagram photos that I might share another time. Plus I tried to get some photos with the girls but my camera doesn't like taking good photos indoors without a flash. I hope to get some from Jasmine.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. 

Friendship Bracelets and other pretties

I've become sort of obsessed with friendship bracelets right now. Ever since Nicole's Friendship Bracelet Project, I've become kind of fascinated with them. So I'm making some for fun and other bracelet items.

This is some bracelets I'm making as part of a new project with Project You. I do like how they have turned out. And I took the photos using my iPhone 4 and played around with some camera apps. So fun :)

I was actually first inspired to make those bracelets after seeing this bracelet for the Butterfly Foundation, which Sportsgirl supports. It's to support Australians with eating disorders and negative body image. 

So the purpose my of little bracelets is sort of similar. I wanted it to be a reminder for those who have joined Project You that they are special, beautiful and unique. 

Anyway, it seems as though friendship style bracelets are everywhere! It makes me love them even more.

And there are a lot more but I don't think I would need to list all the ones I like. Definitely liking bracelets lately. Like Alyssa said, bracelets are for us to admire, while necklaces are for others to admire. Or along those lines :) 

Do you like friendship style wrap bracelets? Do you prefer necklaces or bracelets? 

Have a wonderful weekend!
