So excited to say our next magazine issue is well under way, and I promise you, it will be even more fabulous than the last!! If that's possible ;) With amazing talent on board from the likes of Catch My Party, Celebrations at Home, Crissy's Crafts, The Celebration Shoppe, The Decorated Cookie to name but a few; you won't want to miss the chance to hop on board!
This will be the my last post of the year. A little sad to be typing that, but also really looking forward to spending some quality time with my family over the Holidays. My sister's coming over from London today, and cousins in the New Year, so not exactly total relaxation for me...But I love the merriment of it all !!
An Italian Red & White Holiday Dinner Party
There's nothing better than celebrating the Holiday Season with an elegant dinner party for friends and family. And this stunning dinner party styled by the fabulously talented Mariah from Giggles Galore, appeals to me on so many levels. Least of all because of my Italian roots and love of all things pasta! :) Mariah styled this dinner party for Bird's Party Magazine last year , and she used our Winter Wonderland Printables for the tablescape, the pasta buffet and the desserts tables. I just LOVE how she customized the designs with ribbon and glitter sparkle!! ♥
DIY Fondant Buttons for Cupcake Toppers
Hey guys!! So glad to be back! It was a roller-coaster week full of fun and a super crazy work schedule, and despite my utter love for Paris (see on Instagram here) ; I could not wait to get back to my "normal" routine. Plus, I missed my babies too much!!! :) So while I wait to catch up with my humongous inbox, and edit some of the gazillion salon photos to show you, just wanted to share a quick tutorial I made for the cupcakes on display at our stand. These Cute as a Button Cupcakes would be perfect for so many party themes...think baby showers, tea party, sewing or craft party or even Lalaloopsy!
Christmas Party Ideas | White Winter Wonderland Dinner Party
I styled for and photographed this White Winter Wonderland party last year for Bird's Party Magazine Winter 2011 issue , but never got round to sharing the extra photos, nor the white menu I created!

Little Pumpkin Baby Shower Party Ideas
This gorgeous Little Pumpkin Baby Shower was styled by my sweet, talented friend Nancy from A to Zebra Celebrations for Bird's Party Fall Magazine ! Nancy and I brainstormed, and finally came up with a seasonal party theme where she were to use only handmade party decorations , on a budget if possible! We all love the look of those elaborate, fancy parties but in this day and age, DIY offers a real alternative if you're watching your budget ! Check out all the gorgeous details below.
I had my whole day planned yesterday, and I was to bake me some cookies for an upcoming photo shoot, when I got slightly side-tracked by the arrival of my mail..... Yes folks, I received my very own copy of Bird's Party Magazine in print! YAY!!! We're among friends here (right?!), so I'm not ashamed to say that I did a little dance, stroked the glossy cover for a good 5 minutes and even.....smelled the pages! I know, I know, but I couldn't help myself!! :)
