Cherry Blossom Wedding Theme

I just love cherry blossoms!! A Cherry blossom theme is a beautiful way to celebrate a Wedding, Baby Shower, Christening, Party or any other event. Those pretty little flowers are elegant, stylish and very romantic and will create a lovely atmosphere.

Here is some inspiration:

Aleksandar's birdie mobile

I was given this beautiful birdie mobile to me from a friend at my baby shower, isn't it just delightful? Aleksandar seems to be fascinated by the two little birds that twinkle around up there. This photo just makes me smile, so I had to share it with you.I would also like to thank Lynsey and Matt at cuteable for featuring my Baku Wedding Invite on their website yesturday.

Kid's Birthday Party Invites

I have had birthday's and party's on my mind the last few days, and have been inspired to create a new range of kid's party invites. I am trying to squeeze in some time to be creative. Hopefully I can put a day aside this week (if Aleksandar behaves- at the moment he just loves sitting on my lap watching the computer while I work) Anyways I thought I would share with you what I have already designed:
