Rainbow Tablescape & DIY String of Pearls Balloon Garland

Rainbow Tablescape & DIY String of Pearls Balloon Garland

Saint Patrick's day is in three days, and if you're looking for quick and easy table decor ideas or last minute decorations, than this post is for you! 😉 Did you see the pretty rainbow balloon arch we shared last week? Well, this DIY is a spin off, since we used the same technique to make a garland that you can use to decorate walls or as a table runner! We also made a quick video to help explain how we achieve this look with a simple party trick using regular balloons!

Chocolate Cupcake with Mascarpone Frosting

Chocolate Cupcake with Mascarpone Frosting

Valentine's Day is 'round the corner, and if you're looking for a quick and simple, yet tasty dessert for your party, or simply to pleasure a loved one; then this is it! 😉 This is my go-to quick route when baking cupcakes. The frosting also takes no time at all to make, and no need to get the mixer out! Plus, I find the combination of chocolate and Mascarpone such a marriage made in cupcake heaven...so creamy and luscious! YUM!

DIY Glitter Baubles Ornament Place-Card Holders

DIY Glitter Baubles Ornament Place-Card Holders

As part of my green and gold Christmas Holiday tablescape , I made these cute DIY glitter ornaments to act as place-card holders on my party table. They helped add a little shimmer and sparkle to each place-setting, and were SO easy and quick to make! I made them the night before the party. Just shows you can create something special and last-minute, without much effort. And THAT is my fav kind of craft!! 😉

Pumpkin & Cinnamon Tiramisu Recipe

Pumpkin & Cinnamon Tiramisu Recipe

Tiramisu is one of my all time favorite desserts. I come from an Italian background, so there's no surprise there ;) But because autumn rhymes with pumpkin and cinnamon errything , I decided to add a little twist to my classic recipe. I say classic, but really it's far from it, 'cause for my usual Tiramisu I use cinnamon cookies instead of the traditional ladyfingers. I adore cinnamon just a much as pumpkins. And coffee. So it was a no-brainer, really!

DIY Animal Ear Headbands for Halloween

DIY Animal Ear Headbands for Halloween

Confession time: Despite my love of parties, I never go OTT on costumes for Halloween. And I hate those shop-bought "monstrosities" costumes that you only wear once. But I DO like dressing the part for any party or celebration. So I tend to opt for some funky tee-shirts, crazy tights, makeup or a little black dress ( like in this post ).  And almost every time, I reach our for animal ear headbands to complete the look (the mean girls "I'm a mouse, duh!" phrase comes to mind...). 

DIY Halloween Balloons with Black Electrical Tape

DIY Halloween Balloons with Black Electrical Tape

Okay, so black electrical tape has become one of my fav go-to crafty materials lately. You may have seen the striped boxes I create for my office here ? Well, I was so inspired, that I decided to spook-up my Halloween party balloons using black electrical tape!  They are perfect as party decorations, but also make fun photo booths or even as part of a funky costume.
