I created a spooky Witches' Cupboard for the Halloween shoot I styled for Bird's Party Magazine Fall Edition , along with a wicked  DIY Potion Station (read drinks station) complete with black cauldron,  tasty "poison",  wicked spells , wings of bat and eye of newt ! ;) Check out some of the details below, and hope you feel inspired to re-create you very own, wicked potion station!  Oh, and the complete Halloween Collection with over 30 printable templates is still HALF PRICE until tomorrow only!!

When I was 10 I asked my mum for a Magical   Princess Party , and dreamed of having one of those cakes where the princess is dressed with a huuuuge gown and her skirt is actually a cake? Anyone over 30 must know what I'm talking about... Anyways, this princess party I designed last year, and styled by the mega talented Chris from Celebrations at Home , was totally inspired by my childhood experience - Though my mum could bake the exact cake I had in mind, she still did her best and made me feel like a princess on the day!! :) Check out the stunning details below...

As you probably know, my kiddies were born on the same day (two years apart) and as such, their birthdays are always somewhat a challenging affair...Moms of twins with be nodding in agreement at this point ;) But I'm soooo happy (and relieved) that this year, we all collectively decided on a  " Big Top Circus" birthday party theme  - What's not to like?! It's a really classic, fun and colorful theme, plus it's totally suited for any age group... BUT I think what reeeeally "sealed the deal" for my kids, was the promise of a few carnival games as party activities ! ;) This is how it all turned out...
