This giveaway is now closed!  One of my favorite isles in the craft shops is the ribbon isle . I could spent a whole day rummaging through all the colors, textures, sizes and imagining all the wonderful projects I could use them in ... But now that I found The Ribbon Retreat ( they ship internationally!) , I retreat to their online store and do all my rummaging from the comfort of my own home!! Woo-Hoo!! :)

Following on from yesterday's Mexican Fiesta Party post, I thought I'd post a quick tutorial on the colorful senorita hair piece I created for the party shoot. These are so easy and quick to make and can be made in advance of your party and handed out as party favors or used to embellish and decorate party tables, favor bags, as brooches, to decorate candy jars, sombreros.

We are among friends here, right? So can I be bluntly honest? Well, I don't normally enter the Blog in any competitions or voting poles - Let's face it, it takes a lot of energy and time to keep reminding people to vote. Plus, it can be seen as a popularity contest and it's NOT usually a measure of talent nor how nice a person you are.....BUT (and it's a big but here) we have been nominated by you, our readers to the Top 25 Party Planning Blogs on Circle of Moms ; and this means you must think Bird's Party Blog is worthy to be on that list among such talented party people and friends !
