For the Pool Party I styled last weekend, I wanted to serve some ice cream without the bother of worrying about them melting in the heat etc. So I scoured Pinterest and the web for ideas, and came across loads of interesting faux ice cream desserts, so I decided to make that instead. Another thing I did NOT want to do was spend my entire day in the kitchen , so I cheated a little and used shop bought chocolate brownie bites! ;)
I styled this really relaxed, impromptu Pool Party last weekend with my kids to celebrate the beginning of our summer! Had soooo much FUN styling, splashing and basically chillaxing with them!! Today I'm sharing the party detail, but I also have a really fun (and rather yummy) tutorial coming your way soon!
Bird's Party Magazine - Spring Summer Issue 5 With all the heat and sun shining on us, it's hard to think of Fall, right? But alas, that's how it is in the mag world - Xmas in July , Spring in December... :) I never get bored of seeing the printed Bird's Party Magazine arrive on my doorstep! And our Spring/Summer Issue is no different - The glossy pages really are packed full of party ideas, and I even find my self smelling the pages as I read it in bed. Sad but so true... The wonderful contributor, collaborating vendors and supportive sponsors are what make it such a fun read!! And your guys seems to like it too, because we've reached a staggering over 2 million unique page views and o ver 290,000 readers since April this year! :)

Today I'm bringing you the last of our trio of Big Top Party Tutorials : DIY Homemade Chocolate Lollipops Party Favors. I always prefer party favors that look ornamental and serve as table decor until guests take them home. Now, that fact a party favors can be edible too is a triple bonus in my book! ;) I came up with these ideas for my kid's Big Top Circus birthday party last year (you can see the full party here ).
When we were putting together the spring/summer issue of Bird's Party Magazine , my dear friend Mindy from Creative Juice and I started to brainstorm ideas for a 4th of July shoot. Mindy's hubby is in the military, so we wanted to give it a Vintage Americana look to the designs with a touch of patriotic red, white and blue 4th of July !
