This is that last printable that was lost in the big delete. Rather than recreating it as it was, I thought I’d turn it into a kids’ party invitation as Aspen’s birthday is coming up. (I also made a Valentines option for Mums but it didn’t really work well. If you really want it, let me know in comments and I’ll post it up).
Anyhoo, as per the previous version, this paper correspondence doesn’t need glue and serves as both letter and envelope. Print onto light cardboard/thick paper and seal with a vintage button sticker if you are feeling extra crafty! Hope you enjoy it.

Get me my yellow submarine, stat - I’d like to be under the sea in this octopus’ garden! I love that the animals in this under-the-sea wall decal set are really large and have a speckled painted look to them. Major cuteness factor.
We all know how much I love macarons so of course I think this tutorial for a Macaron Coin Purse is totally yummy!
I noticed on Babyology that Kalon Studios’ mid-century inspired and totally colourtastic baby furniture has arrived in Australia! You can find it here at Kido but don’t look at the price tag – you might faint!
If you’re giving a book for a gift, you can skip the wrapping and clip this little decorative bookmark to the cover instead. Be sure to write a little inscription on the inside cover – those are always such a special little addition when you open a new book!

Happy Chinese New Year! Happy First Day of School!
It’s all happening today! I’m sure emotions are running high for both parents and kids today. I hope there aren’t too many tears (from Mum) and anxiety (again from Mum) as the kidlets don their first school uniform and head to the big kid school with their brand new books and pencils. I hope noone’s feeling too low (Apparently today is also ‘Blue Monday’ which is purported to be the most depressing day of the year). They really pack a lot into one day!
To cheer you up and get this new year started properly, I thought I’d tell you about my plans for Li’l Magoolie this year. And yes, it’s all colourful!
I’ve all but sorted out my printables that were deleted (let me know if you have any problems) so go crazy and download them and paste them all over your walls!
Our first ever challenge for the Colour Me Happy Project is almost at an end. Be sure to spread the happy by emailing it to me {lilmagoolie at gmail dot com} or linking to it in the comments right here (or linking me on Facebook or Twitter). As well as adding a little happy to your house, you might also win one of Foundry’s awesome prints and tote bags!
I received a thankyou letter from RedKite the other day. This week alone, over thirty families in Australia will receive the devastating news that their child has cancer while thousands more will undergo treatment. The money Li’l Magoolie raised at Christmas will hopefully help in some small way. We here at Li’l Magoolie realise we are one small part of a local (and global) community and will continue to focus on fundraising activities to help worthy organisations this year. I will be attending a World Vision conference in March to discuss ways to do just that and I plan to organise an auction mid-year to donate to a local charity.
I have a couple of regular contributors joining me on the blog this year. I’m often asked to review products and now I’ll have a real live reviewer to do it proper-like! Based in New Zealand, Sarah is Mum to two gorgeous girls (2.5 and 6mths) and was a product reviewer for popular Kiwi style site NZGirl as well as starting off the KiwiMummyBlogs network. If you have a product you’d like to have reviewed on the blog, you can find out more info here. I am also very excited to welcome Alex of gorgeous interior design business Alex Fulton Design. Her style is all-colour-all-the-time (you might remember her stunning house featured a while back). She will be sharing her latest finds and ideas from an interior design perspective. Both of these new monthly features will start next month. I’m a little bit excited about it!
I have updated all my advertising info in case you’re looking to promote your website/shop/product for super cheap prices! P.S I have spots available for giveaways (a free way to promote your product!) so contact me now!
You may have noticed my Ideabook box on the right hand side of the blog. I was asked by Houzz.com (a site that shares interiors inspiration) to post each month about some products I like. So far I’ve rounded up my favourite Eco-friendly playhouses, Unique wall decals, Rainbow-coloured decor items and Über stylish toy storage. You can see them all here. If you have something you’d like rounded-up, let me know. I feature items from all over the globe.
So quite a few new and fun things in store this year. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
We interrupt your scheduled viewing to share this piece of gorgeousness! My birthday is in June by the way… *hint hint* (Spotted on Instagram – which you should definitely join if you own an iPhone).
