Birthday Cakes, Busy Holidays & What's On Sale!!

Wow this past week has been a whirlwind. It started with my sons 6th birthday party on sunday. Here are the two cakes I made. The first is meant to look like a soccerball, made from ice -cream. The second is a chocolate cake made like a soccer field. They were both lots of fun and easy to do. The second the soccer field had a piece cut out of it as my sister-in-law had to leave early as her little one was in hospital so I wanted to send a piece of cake and it was before we actually sang happy birthday, so I just thought I would mention that in case you were wondering why a big chunk was missing. Michael loved them both.

Then the rest of the week being school holidays here in Melbourne has been filled with movies, Shops, The Melbourne Show, BBQ with Family, Sleepovers, etc etc, I can honestly say I am in recovery mode today. I feel like I just want to chill out in the warm sun for the next 7 days and not see another shopping centre or large crowd for a while. I am really hoping I can manage to swindle this remaining week with low key activities like walks, parks, playovers, craft and just homey stuff but it just depends on how well behaved the kids are as there is nothing worse than being at home all day and kids constantly bickering. I wonder how everyone else manages to fill their holidays, especially if you are a work at home mum. It is such a juggle but I wonder how other mothers master it. If you have a special secret I would love to know.

Onto website info, I have been loading a lot more items in the What's On Sale section. Click on the image to take you straight there. I have lots of new Stock arriving including Christmas Stock so I would love to clear out all the sale section so If you love a bargain head on over as some of the items just have one or two quantities remaining.

That's about all for today. Even though the holidays are on I am still on line each day and filling orders so feel free to email if you have any queries. Enjoy the rest of this beautiful Sunday. Love Anna.

Feathered Friends - Petite Kit

Have a great weekend and I will be back with more next week. Thanks Anna

Bring on Spring and Glitz bling!!!!

Well I am finally starting to feel a little more normal and the testament to that is that I have been washing and cleaning around here like crazy. As we all seem to be getting sick over and over I decided that with the last couple of warm windy days we've had I would wash sheets and doonas and give the house a really good once over. Probably not the thing to do when you are recovering from the flu but being housebound I just needed to do something productive and I felt like a good cleansing was in order.

Okay onto website stuff. I have the most exciting delivery of goodies on their way to me I cannot wait to put my hands on these gorgeous products. I have put in a huge of order of products from a company called Glitz Design. I have always loved their products and once I found a wholesaler that supplies them here in Australia I just had to order them for the site. You can view their blog here Glitz Design Blog

Here is just a little sneaky peak of what will be available next week for purchase.

These alphas actually have a frosty, glittery finish sooooo divine!!

There will be plenty more but you will just have to check back and see the rest. Also coming up for all the owl lovers out there a gorgeous owl kit complete with fabric purchased straight from overseas. Prior to being sick I was very busy ordering lots of goodies that are new and different so stay tuned for delicisious kits ahead.

Finally the September card kit was put on site last week but I didn't mention it here. In this kit you get to make 4 gorgeous cards and 1 oversized tag. Great for all the women in your life, mums, daughters, sisters, friends. Lots of new techniques to try and gorgeous products. You recieve all the products and step by step instructions and photos. Like a takeaway class to do in your own time and your own leisure. Or even grab some friends and purchase a few kits and get together and make them as a group like a class. You will just love making these cards, these kits are exclusive to Koko Vanilla and created and designed by me!!!

Pretty as a Princess card kit

That's all the updates for today as this post is long enough. Enjoy the rest of this fabulous day!
