</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The first edition is truly beautiful and has such simple, chic entertaining ideas. The photography and styling is stunning. I was so surprised and tickled pink to see a little girl Eliza's gorgeous 3rd birthday with Sambellina included in the launch edition. A combination of pink, red and rustic kraft - I especially love the cut-down treat boxes for popcorn - what a great idea !!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

OK, so **poooof** went the year ..... is it really Halloween again ?? <br />
<br />
We tried <a href="http://sambellinasparty.blogspot.com/2010/10/free-halloween-printable-neighbours.html">this</a> out last year and the neighbours (and us) absolutely loved it. It was a dark, misty and eery night, but there was such excitement in the street. <br />
<br />
If you are keen to try it at your place, here is a new version for this year. <br />

Apparently, it was the most "awesomest" birthday ever. <br />
Birthdays always start in our house with pancakes, balloons and pressies delivered to your bedroom...and finishing with a loud, warm and fun family dinner. <br />
<br />
This year, Sam had a surprise tea party to greet her from school. Just her and me. Together. Chatting. With cake. What fun I had setting it all up, and she loved it ( - "like, totally").<br />
<br />
Inspired by Ava's Tea Party (<a href="http://babyology.com.au/news/avas-tea-party.html">lovely writeup by Babyology</a>)....a tragic story, about a little girl lost too soon, and her Mum who beautifully encourages parents with an annual August tea party tradition, to take time out, slow down, forget about the million things going on around you and in your head - for a moment, and just soak them in. <br />
<br />
Happy birthday my angel...... xx Kate<br />

I have been asked a few times why I chose a business related to birthday parties ..... <br />
<br />
For me, it is a very easy question to answer. <br />
<br />
The day each of my babies were born - was the most special, mind-blowingly amazing, moving days of my life, filled my heart to the brim and the bond was sealed forever. I love them both to the end of the earth, and every birthday, for me, is a celebration of how lucky I am to be a Mum to these precious children. <br />
<br />
Birthdays are just fun !! I love going to every birthday party - everybody is happy, the parents are so proud and the unbridled joy and excitement in the room is always infectious. The light in the eyes of the birthday girl/boy when those birthday candles come out. What is there not to love ?! And on top of that, Mums often get to spread their creative wings and play a little (or a LOT) with colour, paper, balloons, cakes, and sugar.....<br />
<br />
Whether a party is one bowl of chips and a birthday cake, or has a giant jumping castle delivered by fairies that spits out smarties, if the reason for having a party is the same - celebration, joy, and fun - then, how can they not be one of the best things in life....<br />
<br />
I have one of the best jobs out and love it almost as much as birthday parties ... <br />

</div>I can't believe my little boy is 4 !! To celebrate this year, we had a very small indoor "do" with family, his cousins and a couple of his very closest friends...<br />
<br />
The best part of a party to me - is the building excitement for the birthday boy (and his big sister, event planner Miss Sambellina herself) in the party lead-up. We had so much fun preparing the treat bags together, making styrofoam aeroplanes, setting up the party table and planning the entertainment and games. <br />
I love how completely absorbed and involved they both get with their birthday parties. Being simple and small, it was a lot of fun to put together.<br />

I love hearts....and have always drawn them on everything, so of course have a giant heart up in our lounge room - which I dedicated to my Sam(bellina). <br />
<br />
The story behind it (- just in case you were wondering ;-) ......<br />
When Sam was about to arrive, I was WAY overdue, and tearing my hair out as I had nested, prepared, packed, repacked, renested, and was impatiently READY to become a Mum and meet my little girl !! One day - 9 days late - I decided to distract myself and do something creative, so went out and bought a giant canvas. For some reason, I then carried that canvas for about 9 blocks, wedged in between my arm and giant tummy. I was going to paint while I waited, but....about an hour after my trek, I went into labour......<br />
<br />
