If you follow the blog for a while, you'll know how much I LOVE paper and handmade party decorations . It's my jam! I'm always asking myself if I can make it first, before I decide to buy... So you can imagine how giddy I was when Brother got in touch asking me to create something fun using their P-touch label maker !! I also did a happy dance when they offered to giveaway one of the machines away here on the blog! :)

Hey sweet friends! This week we have a super lush ' baking themed ' party week for ya! So prepare to be dazzle with the eye candy ;) My kids love to bake with me, and when I was designing Bird's Party latest Baking Party Printables , I realized there aren't many ' boy-friendly' baking parties out there, and there should be!

Come to think of it, these baking party ideas would also be cool for play dates, classroom activities, or a twins birthday ?!

I'm not much of a drinker but I love a nice tipple, especially on a Girls Night In ! But I also know that getting the girls 'round means you have to account for varied tastes and an array of dietary requirements - some don't drink, others are on a special diet, or counting the calories, or expecting... So mocktails are the answer for me! But a mixologist I am not, and need all the help I can get to deliver the wow factor without comprising on taste and creativity. So I've searched and scoured the web, and put together a delicious collection of non-alcoholic drinks recipes that not only look super funky and scrumptious, but are also easy to make and pack a whole lot of punch (no pun).
