I went to Red hill for my birthday 2 weeks ago. I stayed in Lindenderry hotel for one night. I did horse back winery tour. It was such an amazing experience, I really enjoyed traveling wineries around by horse. Trainers guided us very well to make sure that all of us enjoy riding, safe and fun. After that I had a relaxation massage from hotel. It helped to relax my stiff body from 3 hours horse riding. To be honest, it was one of the best massage I ever had, even better than some of the massage shops in Thailand. I saw bunch of girls rode horse with us for hen's night and a reception party was on in the hotel. It was a just weekend away for me, but I found that this place also would be great for a wedding venue might as well. If you are thinking of Mornington Peninsula wedding, Lindenderry would be a perfect choice for you. With 30 acres of classic gardens and vineyards is ready for your garden ceremony. 40 luxury guest room would be enough to accomodate your family and friends.

I went to Niko in Oakleigh. There were so many lovely desert, but I only had a tea in the cafe because I just had dinner before I went there. However, I found these custom cake service they offer. It is a family business and you can bring drawing or picture so they make custom designed cake for you.

I went to a engagement party at Peacock hotel last weekend. It is located in the High  Street Northcote. I think it is a good spot for any kind of function or party. It's got such a lovely atmosphere with big private rooms and kind and friendly staffs. We helped her decorating her venue. 

The colour theme for this party was one of 2011 trendy colour 'Bellflower'.

We designed this cupcake pins and banners.

 These beautiful centrepiece and fascinator was designed by our florist. 

I went to Ttekceba  couple of years ago, and it was definitely one of my favourite weekend away. It is located in Dandenong Ranges and owned by a travel journalist. Ttekceba is decorated by many exotic props and it's got way bigger rooms than any hotels around Melbourne city. If you are looking for refreshing weekend away place I would recommend this place.

 There were many nice restaurants nearby but It was also good to cook in the venue as many kitchenware and some ingredient were provided.  This place is always busy so if you want to stay there for your special day booking in advance is essential.

3-5. Fold in half for both sides of paper

5-6. Use the lines on the paper and fold the paper into a rectangular shape pocket

7.Fold side conners to fit the centre mark and undo it.

11-12.Fold wings  

13-16.hold each side with fingers and hold it down to make ballon shape on the bottom

This looks very simple but you can apply for many different things. You can display your dessert bar for your wedding reception to treat your guest, or can be a Valentine's day  present for your love.  By using different colour paper you can make initial of your name or some alphabet word that you want to play with.  Here are some examples.

If you glue the gap on the origami you can glue it so the little box stay strong, and you can also glue some decorations on it.  

This week I am going to share a useful DIY by using kisses chocolate. This is how I wrap Valentine's day chocolate, I found this might be useful for any occasion. If you are thinking to treat your guest for your party or handing chocolate as a gift, this DIY would be perfect for you!

I am coming back with this tutorial anytime soon in this week :-)
