Smile on a Rainy Day

It's been raining here, but something made me smile the whole morning.


Diva, here, sure knows how to have fun with the printable by adding magnets to them. Thank you for sharing, Diva!

Lemonade Party : Cupcake Topper

Baby G is feeling better, less drama, more postponed work to be done. Thank you everyone for your support and kindness, and of course patience for the new Lemonade printable. Wait no more, here are the cupcake topper. I always intend my printable to be versatile, so please be creative with them, don't use this one just as cupcake toppers, use it as stickers, sew it as garlands, re-size it and make a bag of confetti, it's up to you. Please do be generous and share your idea with us.

Pictureless Friday

My first time posting without a single pic. As a very visual person, this is so unlike me. But I hope you will read through this.

Baby G : mu susu.. mu susuuuu ((I) want some milk, in Indonesian. slightly crying)
Me : Allright, I'll make you a bottle.
(done. handing it over to her)
Baby G : panaaas! (hot!!)
Me : OK, we'll wait until it cools off.
Baby G : angetin!! angetiiiiiin!! (cool it down! cool it doooooown!)
Me : It can't be that quick, you'll have to wait or you'll have it warm.
Baby G : waaaaaa...!! angetiiiin!!
(she started to cry)
Me : OK, OK.
(rushed to the fridge and put the bottle inside the freezer, if other moms know better instant cooling technique please let me know.)
Me : Here you go.
Baby G : panaaas!! angetiiiin!! (still hot! Cool it down! more crying)
(Me rushing back and forth to the fridge)
Me : It's cold now. Here you go.
Baby G : Noooooooo! no no susu!! (don't, don't want the milk! more and more crying)
Me : ....

I know you can't argue logically with toddlers, but sometimes, it just tickles your fancy too much. Seriously, I could use some of those tantrums then. Why should toddlers have all the fun, right? Can Moms have tantrums? (DRRRRIIINK THHHHAAAT MIIIILKKK!!!!)

Oh so Red!

Another art swap package is in the mail! Thank you dear, Samone! These stationery goodness has flown all the way from Melbourne to Bandung safely! Definitely a day maker (er..this-made-my-day bad pun)!


Are you guys enjoying the Lemonade Part Printable Kit? If you do, please excuse my lack of updates on the printable, I promise I will be back with the rest of the kit before July. Baby G has a fever at the moment and she's more clingy than a hot glue. I also can't stand her drowsy self, poor girl. I wish for your patient and understanding. Thank you.

Lemonade Party : Napkin Rings

If you're allergic to bright colors, leave this blog immediately because it's going to be a bright week here! Lemonade party kit still going on, this time it's napkin rings time! Instruction as always is easy as download, print, and cut. Do be really careful cutting the slit for the napkin "locks", if you're accidentally snap through, that's OK, just make a paper chain out of the long strip of paper and the half circle lemons would make a cute garland!

Lemonade Party : Invitation

What's a party without guests? Sure thing is to invite them in the first place. Download, resize, print, and cut along as you wish, you can even use an edge paper punch to add personality! You can even fold it in half to write personal messages inside, if any. Enjoy!

..and the winner is..

..TEAM LEMONADE! now cheer up everyone! (insert cheering sounds instead of those ol' crickets')
Thank you voters, don't get to bum up when your pick is not winning, I am sure to throw another printable party someday, I'll make sure the two others get their share on the spotlight.

Well-o, ladies, to warm things up, I'll give you a lemonade party inspiration this time, since like we have all predicted, this is not the first time someone threw a lemonade theme party, but you might be the one throwing it in babalisme's printables :). Tomorrow (save it in your schedule), will be the grand appearance of the first printable from the series. Stay tune! Happy Monday!

And a few things for the party you know can't be printed...

Lemon Cloth Table Napkins by IrineDesign

Napkins set by ColorFunky

Yellow plastic mugs from BinspiredVintage

Lemonade Stand Dress for 18m by MyLittleGirlsCloset

You might want to visit our friend, Martha, too for the food and beverages dept, you know she's more reliable than me on this one. Just ask her a.k.a fill in her recipe search box and you will be granted with mouth watery delights! One of them is pictured above.

Pick your Theme

I'm going to make a party kit this month for regular babalisme free printable. Yes, you heard it right. C'mon, where's the excitement? (enter cricket sounds) OK, I give up, I still make the printables anyway. Sew, if you would be kind and vote for your favorite theme, you can download and print your favorite theme party kit for FREE!! Now, can I have the excitement? No? (enter more cricket sounds). It's my birthday month? ( enter even more cricket sounds and a lament song)

(awkward line) All right-y then, let's get down to the themes.

First one is Strawberry Field Wardrobe. Many of you ask a girly theme along with nature and tea party twist. Pots and cups are nice but you've seen them anywhere. If you like this one comment : TEAM STRAWBERRY!

I always feel bad if I only make one gender happy. So boyish theme coming up, very summer-y, say hello to Sailor Boy. His dog was named Popeye. If you like this one comment : TEAM SAILOR!


And I feel worse thinking many of you might want to entertain both genders at home. So if life gives you lemons, you make a lemonade theme party!! If you like this one comment : TEAM LEMONADE!

Here's a close up of each main pattern for you to look at.


Done looking? Be an extra dear and vote, people! Thank you!

Seeing Summer

Living near the equator means constant summer all year long, but as if the weather hear her northern side sister, it's undeniably getting warmer even in here, yes, in the tropical island of Java. It's the national school break for us and many of our relatives and friend are escaping to much milder sun or even more sadistic sun, oh, the irony of holiday destinations.

Since we're not going anywhere and it's June (my birthday month, yippeee!) I thought I will be making a lot of themed party printables. So what's your favorite summer birthday theme?

On the (even) lighter note, Baby G doesn't mind the heat. She's busy capturing the sunshine with her tissue paper. I don't have the heart telling her that sunshine is not very solid. She's good with stripes, I envy her. And that's a friendly smile, in case you were wondering, according to Baby G. Have a nice summer, everyone.
