Pretty Paper Flowers :: DECORATIONS

How is this for a bright punch of colour that costs next to nothing? I can pretty much guarantee you will have the supplies nearby at home, and they take no time at all. You could whip some up while watching tv, or during nap time! Head over to Bump Smitten's baby shower blog for the tutorial courtesy of Dozi.

Lolly Supplies for your event

I know the styled party and candy bar trend is making it's move into Australia in a big way. My 'friend in the flesh' and in blog world, Ros of Grace Designs, put together a list of bulk lolly suppliers for Aussies a little while ago. I thought I would pass it on and add some of my own finds as a little bit of a reference that might help with your events (and serve as a central place for me, so I'm not forever looking through bookmarked websites!).
