A Penguin Themed Kids Christmas Holiday Tablescape
The last of our three Kids' Holiday Tables was inspired by cute penguins, so naturally the color scheme was black and white , with splashes of bright yellow to warm things up! I wanted to create a more sophisticated and modern looking table, whilst keeping the styling fun for the kids - A good balance for those who love to entertain in style, even for little guests! ;)

Candyland Christmas Tablescape | Kids Holiday Table
Holiday is a time to get the family around and enjoy the company of our loved ones. At some point during the Holiday season, you're bound to sit down for a meal and find little kids among you. So, how to keep them entertained and amused during the meal without breaking a sweat? And no, your fabulous carving skills may not do the trick here... The answer is to create a special table just for them! Check out the first of three Kids' Holiday Table ideas I styled for the winter issue of ' Yum Food and Fun for Kids ' magazine - inspired by candy off course! ;)

Holiday Party Ideas for HGTV & Free Printables
Are you looking forward to Christmas yet? I personally have been in the Holiday mode since May this year! Yes, no kidding!! :) Earlier this year, I was fortunate enough to get to design two fun Holiday party printable collection exclusively for HGTV (yes, pinch me!) - The photos along with the FREE party printables I designed are now live on their site, and was so excited to tell you guys but promise a full post later, ok? ;)
Excited to see some of our Halloween Party Ideas on Kiki Magazine October 2012 Issue !! It's my the second time working with Kiki Magazine, and as always has been a real treat - No tricks! (pun intended hehe)
Hi guys hope you had a fabulous 4th!! :) I took the day off yesterday afternoon but now back to work full throttle, and just wanted to stop by and share a really cool video with you! Ok, so I am trying to sound nonchalant, but the truth is, I jumped (up and down) with joy when Amy Atlas asked me to use some of my 4th of July Party Printables for a segment she was doing on Acess Hollywood last Friday!! Just being asked by Amy and have her style my printable is dreamy enough for me, but to have them shown on a really cool TV segment on NBC is just the sweetest cherry on top of huge cupcake!! ;)
It's always very exciting, gratifying but also very humbling to have your work featured on amazing party sites and blogs! For me personally, it's the icing on the cupcake after all the hard work, and countless hours I spend designing, baking, photographing and styling a party. Don't get me wrong, I do what I do because I love it with all my heart (even when it does not get "featured" anywhere). But these special mentions by our fellow party lovers, is really pretty cool! :)
Ever since I styled my kid's Big Top Circus Party , I've had customers and readers email me about the props and little details of the dessert table, so I've decided to share not one, but 3 easy tutorials to help you re-create the look!
Eeeee!! Yes pinch me!! :D When I got asked by Parenting Magazine if they could feature our Honey Bee Party printables in their May 2012 Issue and on Parenting.com , I was over the moon but didn't quite believe it! So it's really only now that I have the actual magazine in hand (thanks to my dear Crissy from Crissy's Crafts) that it has sunk in!
Hi guys, this past week has been a really hard one for me and my family as you all know, but I hope to get back to my regular blogging schedule from now and start sharing some fun posts with you again - Work and blogging keep my mind occupied, keep me sane, and it's a needed therapy and great "distraction" for me...
Very excited to share our New Year's Party Editorial for Kiki Magazine ! It's the first time I have worked with a US national magazine and it's been FUN, FUN, FUN!! I worked with journalist Jessica Blair who contacted me a few months back for a collaborative six-page editorial spread for the 2011 Kiki Holiday Issue! So exciting to be even asked, but to see my work in a national mag is just beyond surreal! I'm still pinching myself...

So beyond excited and grateful to the fabulous team at " The Royal Wedding on CNN " who were ever so fabulous, but also to my darling husband who made the scones!! :)
Bird's Party Shop will be closing for the Holidays on Friday 17th until January 3rd , and I'll also be taking a break from the blog for a while, in order to re-charge my batteries and spend some quality time with my family! :) I'm very thankful for all the great friends I have met through the blog this year, and also for all the support and comments received by so many wonderful readers, sponsors, followers, subscribers and sweet customers!
I don't think words can express the joy and sheer delight of having my work featured on amazing blogs such as Hostess With The Mostess !! It's difficult to share such wonderful news, and yet try to keep one's cool and not seem like you're showing off....or a lot bit hysterical! :)
