Party Ideas This Week

Party Ideas This Week

It's always very exciting, gratifying but also very humbling to have your work featured on amazing party sites and blogs! For me personally, it's the icing on the cupcake after all the hard work, and countless hours I spend designing, baking, photographing and styling a party.  Don't get me wrong, I do what I do because I love it with all my heart (even when it does not get "featured" anywhere). But these special mentions by our fellow party lovers,  is really pretty cool! :)
