The Christmas wrap wouldn’t have been complete without our wonderful sponsors Getty Images, fantastic DJ’s who kept us grooving and of course you – our fabulous supporters without who Creative Drinks wouldn’t be possible.

The Creative Drinks Christmas event saw the return of Brisbane Fashion designer Danielle Lewis, showcasing new pieces and new projects, make sure you check her out at her website and keep up to date with all the latest trends at brisbanethreads.blogspot.com.

Artist, Greg Jackson showcased more awesome works on the walls of the most amazing venue, 5^th Corner.

5thCorner was a mind-blowing venue; think industrial, hi-tech, fabulously cooler than thou and everything you’d want in a technological overload!

We at Creative Drinks are looking forward to a spectacular 2010 filled with all our favourite creatives, new friends and networking opportunities.

We would like to wish you all the very best of Christmases and fabulous New Year!
