Exciting News- New Illume Design Blog!

I have been away from blogging for the last week or so as I have been creating a brand new blog. After pulling my hair out, trying to figure out html and the help of a good friend (thanks Adam) I finally got there. Please pop on over to say hello; www.illumedesign.com.au/blog/

Now, This blog has a different web address, the old blog will still be up, but I wont be blogging there any more. My new blog has all my old post plus a few new ones...it is now hosted on my web site www.illumedesign.com.au (hence the change)

I haven't managed to get the google friend connect sidebar to work, so if any of you bloggers out there have any insights ...I would love your feedback.. Im using wordpress

I have really enjoyed all your post's and meeting some great blogger friends, as a new blogger you all made me feel so welcome. I look forward to reading more of your posts in the future. I have also added you all to my new blogroll, so let me know if I have left you off..

See you over there......!

I just love happy customers !!!

I received a very sweet email the other day from one of my lovely customer who had ordered some stationery from my shop at Illume Design. I designed her christening invitations, thank you cards and bomboniere for her daughter's christening.

"Hi Louise

I just wanted to say a quick "thank you" for the great work you did with my daughters christening cards, thank you's and bomboniere. I very much appreciated how quickly and efficiently you completed and dispatched the order! All my guests loved the invites particularly!

Thank you again,

Erica"

Here are the christening products she picked;

Kid's Party Inspiration - Circus Theme

Don't you love a party?
Especially if its a kids's party. A great way to celebrate with your child is with a circus themed party. This theme never gets old, you can go wild with colour and really let your creative side go. Here is some inspiration.
