TGIF, right?! Well, today I'm on full-on prep for my first book signing event happening tomorrow (will be posting sneaks on Instagram here ), so the post is shorter than usual...which is not a bad thing ;) Graduation season is upon us, and I just stopped by to let you know that our super popular Graduation FREE printables have been updated with editable templates - that means that you can now add your graduation year 2014, 2015...and personalize your printables year after year! Cool or what?!

You needn't style something grandiose to please mom on her special day. Honestly, less is more. A simple but feminine table setting (for breakfast, brunch, picnic or lunch), combined with delicious treats that require no-baking or are very easy to make , look just as impressive, are quick to put together and perfect for dads and kids to re-create at home !

This week is all about Mom. If you follow me on Instagram you'd have seen a sneak peek of these pretties, and I'm happy to share the full post today!! Each month we have a new FREE printable  (for limited tile only!) sent out by email to all our fab subscribers, and this month I designed some cute tags that can be used as gift labels, favor tags, bottle decor, cupcake toppers ...you name it! Perfect for Mother's Day  of course but also any occasion really. I also included a little note card in the printables, so you can write mom a love note! We love those! ;) So make sure you subscribe her to get your Mother's day FREEBIES directly in your inbox!!

When it comes to entertaining,  Dare Crackers  are among Chef Kayne Raymond’s go-to secrets for hosting a fantastic spread anytime, anywhere. And with Mother's Day around the corner, summer parties and wedding season approaching, we thought we'd help you along for those all-important appetizers, nibbles and canapes for your parties and get-together.

I have a Silhouette CAMEO myself, and it remains in its original box mainly due to lack of time and nerve to learn how to get it working. But that's about to change! The Craft Academy 's program combines projects, lessons, online live events, and a community forum built specifically to help you master every feature of your Silhouette Studio Software .  And we have a 50% discount coupon for all Bird's Party readers too - It would be a perfect Mother's Day gift for your crafty mama...or your lovely creative self! ;)

Bonjour mes amis! We've gone from Spanish yesterday to French today, and all because of the French leg of the Les Party Printables book tour. Yikes, did I just write that?!! Pinch me hard :) Seems surreal to type those words. I'm very grateful, super excited but also a little nervous. I mean, blogging behind a computer screen is one thing, meeting the actual readers in the flesh is another entirely new ballgame...

Hola mis amigos, today's post is all about Cinco de Mayo Fiesta , so I couldn't help but break out in Spanish...anyways, are you planning anything? Do you usually celebrate Cinco de Mayo? I'd love to hear what you guys get up to!  For now I leave you with some colorful party ideas to help you style your Fiesta!! Olé!

Told ya we were gonna spoil you this month! ;) Yes folks, we have another super fabulous book giveaway happening on the blog - In my view a party gal's library is never complete without a fondant topper book ! And today's beauty come from one of dearest friends,  Lynlee . So needless to say I'm mega proud and excited to share!! ♥

As a designer, I relish the chance to create unique printables, to push myself and challenge my abilities. Bird's Party Magazine offers me a chance to do just that. Not only we always have to come up with new and exciting ideas for each issue, but I also get to work with some incredible, talented stylists who's vision and unique events always push me to give it my all and venture out of my comfort zone .

What do you have planned for Mother's Day ? As a mom myself, I can tell you that a lovingly prepared brunch trumps over expensive gifts any day!  So I've collected some really easy to make, totally delicious (and super pretty too) brunch recipes that I know any mom will ♥ 

Jenny Keller is a girl after my own heart. Not only she's a mega talented desserts table stylists, but she also is a baker, cookie, cake decorator extraordinaire. And you know how much I respect and love any girl who's not afraid to DIY it all . And to such a fabulous standard too! Jenny is a self taught baker and has styled parties and desserts for some of Hollywood's finest, and now she shares her secrets, tips, tricks and yummy recipes in her gorgeous NEW Book Eat More Dessert . 

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).
