To send and receive

Here at Belly Button we’ve been inspired by all of the Valentines paper pretties on Pinterest this week!

We think the art of love letters is still very special, so what better way to show your love than to send someone a beautiful card or love letter!

Here are some lovely Valentines ideas –

The perfect way to wrap a present for the one you love!

Bake macaroons, if you’re feeling really adventurous you could even make them heart shaped!

Finish off your wonderful sends by sealing them with a heart stamp!

Make a lovely heart garland out of glittery paper.

Share some love by tweeting us your favourite Belly Button Valentines card!

Belly Button family fun day!

Here at Belly Button we had a family fun day on Saturday to raise money for

Children in Need.

We had a selection of delicious cakes and drinks, including Victoria sponge, flapjacks, chocolate cake and rocky roads.

The  children had a great time decorating albums with tulip and jewels to take home (even the adults got stuck in)

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped out and baked lots of delicious things to sell, we raised lots of money for Children in Need!

Yummy cake and meringues!

All the children loved painting their albums, they used lots of brightly coloured tulip and jewels!

Everybody baked lots of lovely things including, Banana and Nutella muffins, rocky roads and butterfly cupcakes.

Even the parents got involved, everybody loves a bit of glitter and sparkle!

We would love to know if you are doing anything to help raise money for Children in Need.
