Through the wonderful world of Twitter I have 'met' so many wonderful people, one of those people is Katy Martin who is the publisher and editor-in-chief of the stunning Eco-Beautiful Weddings® Online Magazine & Blog. Katy asked me a little while back if I would be interested in making some Giggleberry bunting banners from eco friendly fabrics to be a part of the launch issue of Eco-Beautiful

Remember the excitement around going to a friends birthday party when you were a child? you'd wear you favorite outfit, do your hair all pretty, have the gift wrapped and ready then eagerly you would jump in the car ready for your mum or dad to drive you to your friends house.I remember keenly watching out the car window for the balloons that would always be tied to the letterbox or front fence

Yay! Giggleberry's always popular and best seller Strawberries & Cream bunting banner was spotted on the Front Page of Etsy! The treasury it was a part of had a picnic theme and was selected by Etsy admin - I do think this set would be great for picnic, tea party or a BBQ but it works also for Christmas decorating with the gorgeous reds and whites!!

I had a rush of blood to the head last Friday and decided to make a gingerbread house from scratch!! So after a quick flick through my trusty handwritten recipe book that mum gave me when I first moved out of home 8 years ago and a search via Google for a template I got to baking.I was actually amazed at just how simple it was. I had the gingerbread walls and roof all finished and cooling in an

About a week ago I had a custom order for some Christmas bunting banners. The customer had seen this 'Crisp Christmas' bunting set while she was flicking through the Giggleberry Facebook page and wanted the something very similar...only instead of red and green she was after red and turquoise - how fun! I had the bunting made up and posted off in no time and have just received back some snaps of

Hooray!! I have just opened my emails to find one from the gorgeous Lauren of Belle Laide Events.

You can take a look HERE for Part 1 of the creation process and HERE for Part 2.The beach side family event that the 60 metres was needed for was held last Sunday

I have been busily buying gifts all year and when I tell people that many respond with "Wow - I haven't even started mine" so here are some of my purchases (that I am totally in love with and can't wait for the person they are intended for to rip open on Christmas day) - maybe some

About 6 or so months ago I was floating through 'blog land' as I do from time to time and somehow I stumbled upon Sutton Grace blog, where a particular blog post jumped out at me: A repurposed play kitchen. The very clever Erin of Sutton Grace blog had taken a 2nd hand TV entertainment unit and turned it into a mini kitchen for her little girl. I LOVED this idea sooooo much and sat looking at the

What a day!! Milla's 2nd birthday party was a huge hit with lots of fun & giggles!! All the kids had plenty to do with jumping castle, pony rides, face painting, cake and we even took along a bunch of water spray bottles for a bit of water splashing silliness to help stay cool in the 41 degree heat!!I think the cake turned out pretty good in the end, what do you think?At the last minute I decided

That's right all 200 flags have been cut, sewn, ironed, attached to their 60 metres of ribbon and hand delivered!!There were a few bumps along the road like the ribbon I originally ordered for the banner not showing up on time (in fact it still hasn't arrived!) and the customer deciding they would like a floral fabric thrown into the mix - but neither of these things

The best part of making a custom ordered bunting banner is seeing the finished product 'in action'. I just LOVE getting photos back from my Giggleberry customers showing off their new banner/s in use and these latest images are just too cute to not share with you.I was asked to make a set of banners for a 'Bob The Builder' themed 1st birthday party. The banners were to have red, blue and yellow
