Spring in one of my favorite seasons. I hate the cold, so the warmer spring days, the chirping birds, the buzzing bees and scents and colors of the season make me feel all poetic and oh-so inspired! :) Easter is around the corner, but hopefully these ideas will show you don't need much time nor a huge budget to create something pretty and welcoming for your family and guests this Easter!

Today I have the pleasure of introducing another of our  fabulous blog contributor , who will be guest blogging here at  Bird's Party  on a general basis! Christine is a sweet friend and the mega talented behind  Pure Joy Events . Pure Joy Events  specializes in creating  unique and unforgettable children's birthday parties  in the Washington DC area, and I'm so grateful and delighted to welcome Christine today, who will be sharing a super sweet and oh-so-adorable party tutorial with us!! Take it away Christine...

When I was styling the  Easter Bunny Dessert Table , I didn't have any orange lollipops, nor anything that resembled a carrot to use as  party favors , and so I came up with this little tutorial - I'm convinced whoever said  "necessity is the mother of all invention" , must have been a party girl! :)

Easter is only a few days away and we have some fabulous Easter posts and tutorials for you all this week - Don't Miss it !! To kick things off, today we have a super sweet, super cute party by my gorgeously talented friend Marcie from the blog  Celebrating The Moments.  for  The Daily Meal (NYC),  and used our  Easter Bunny Printable Collection !  Check out the fun details below...

LilSteinStyles is brain child of two very busy, very creative SAHM’s that decided as great friends to get together and create something special for all little dudes and little divas out there!! And today you'll have the chance of winning yourself a fabulous $50GC to LilSteinStyles!!

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 !

This giveaway is now closed! Today's giveaway is sponsored by  Thirty-One Gifts .  I was first contacted by Cheryl, a Senior Consultant with Thirty-One Gifts , when she won a giveaway here on the blog a few weeks back - I just love these happy coincidences and discovering new products through he blog! Needless to say, I'm delighted to be hosting today! :)

I get soooo many emails asking about my  Plush Birdies , that I finally decided  Easter  is a great time to share them with you! Once upon a time the pattern was for sale in my plush Etsy store, but now you can have them for FREE ! But if you reeeeeeally want to show your appreciation, who am I to stop you? In that case, please keep  voting for us on Circle of Moms  - Thank you from the ♥! :)
