Quack Quack - Little Duck Birthday Theme

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Well, I’m just recovering from the big weekend we had! My little girl turned 3 on the weekend and we had a little duck theme party to celebrate. She had chosen the Little Duck invitations back in November (yes a long time to wait - we’ve been talking Duck party for months!) so we went for red and white with a touch of yellow, and some duck type decorations as the basis of the party.
Here are some images of how I themed it all in.

So sorry I haven’t blogged for a while. We were in Sydney for Magnolia Square, which was fabulous. Thanks so much to everyone that visited us, it was lovely to meet you all face to face.

It’s been a little crazy since our return, so I promise I’ll blog more soon, we’ve got a Little Duck Party on this weekend for my three year old, so I’ll have plenty of pictures to share.
