It was definitely worth every bit of my effort. After months of doing up the decor plus long hours spent in the kitchen preparing and cooking the food, we had a really good time in the end. =) Three cheers! Really really thanks to all the friends who came, without whom the event could not have taken place. Also much thanks to jw, for being a wonderful helper in the kitchen and without whom I couldn't possibly have survived. Last but not least, to my little Angel for being a good girl when mummy was busy doing the scrapbooking, decorations and cooking. She could watch Barney for hours before she started crying and getting bored. =)

Look! Here's all the food we made! Not bad huh. =) I don't think it was fantastic or perfect but it was certainly up to my expectations. Dear, we made it! *hi five*

Our nice cake baked by Seline. She could read my mind! I love customised stuff and so I really loved and appreciated this cake with our blissful family photo on it. =) Xie xie ni!

Angel has so many presents! Toys, clothes, hair clips, cards, everything! We would never have bought her so much stuff. Wahaha. Our toy desert is now slowly becoming a toy paradise. Keke.

The pink banner and swirling foils I specially bought for Angel. I love them! Makes the house so colourful and happy. =)

My two charts of Angel, colours and alphabets. I guess it'll be fun to teach her this way. And yeah, what's new, I simply love to print out our photos and hang them around the house. Hee.

Welcome to our RAINBOW party! I love this poster. Hee. Actually, it's the background that makes it so nice. Rainbow and stars, nice combi!!

My scrapbook pages of Angel's growth, from her being in my tummy till birth till now. Inspired by my da sao, and I think it's a pretty good idea so we can keep the pages in a scrapbook and keep for remembrance after the event and not waste the hard work. =) It was a pretty easy scrapbook though cos' I used simple decorations and concepts for each page.

Remember my bead portrait? Here's my second one, specially for Angel. Hee. 3600 beads. It may look hard, but honest it's very easy. =) Just need eye power and concentration and probably can be done in a couple of days (provided you have all the right beads, which I didn't, so I had to order and wait and it took weeks to complete =p).

I dunno why, but I tot of learning balloon modelling for the party. Just something special in addition to normal round balloons. Frankly, it's quite easy too. Just need the balloons, a pump and YouTube. Haha. 

All in all, I think Angel's 1st bday will be a very memorable day (2 days, actually) for me. I do hope she had fun too! And everyone had fun! Still can't believe my baby is 1 year old already. But well, she will always be my baby in my heart! Hugs and muakz, my little one!
