DIY Photo Booth Backdrops

I have a super good friend getting married next month, and we're flying back to the States for the wedding. We're all super excited about that. It will be Emmy's first overseas flight, and we're all waiting nervously to see how that goes. I'll post a few tips on travelling with babies/kids soon, and I'll report back to see if any of those tips worked. 

But I love this collection of quirky and cute DIY Photo Booth backdrops that Pip put together over at justb. Click here to see the rest of the DIY Photo Booth backdrop round-up!

NEST Recipe - Choc Chip Mint Cupcakes

I made some yummy cupcakes yesterday, Chocolate chip Mint cupcakes. With choc chips in the cake and on the frosting. 

I adapted a recipe that I found on taste.com.au. See the recipe after the jump.

DIY drum

This project thought up by A Beautiful Mess is so cute! I'm going to make one for Emmy's first birthday (in a couple of weeks. Ahh!). It will go so well with her teeppe themed birthday. 

Check out the how-to here.

Succulent Centrepieces

I'm working on the centrepieces for Emmy's birthday in a couple weeks and I wanted to do something that looks natural and different, almost arid. To be honest, my budget will allow me to do far less than I really want to do, but I love these flower/succulent centrepiece photos. I see a lot of succulents being used for wedding bouquets as well.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes Recipe

This was the coveted birthday treat when I was a kid. If you had Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes at your birthday party, the cool kids were sure to come. I'm looking forward to making these for Emmy's first birthday in a couple of weeks. 

These can be a little tricky to bake, so here's a little how-to video from Martha on how to make them. She uses a slightly different recipe for more grown up ice cream cone cupcakes with coffee in the cake and frosting, sounds yummy.
