Hey friends, our issue 12 dedicated to Spring and Easter is out now!!! You can read all about it FREE online, on your tablet or mobile and is packed with amazing party ideas, free printables, party crafts, recipes and inspiration to help you celebrate in style this season!

Wearing green on St Patrick's Day  not only ensures you won't get pinched, but it's also meant to bring good luck.  But, I do not fancy looking like I took fashion lessons from a leprechaun... Nothing wrong with how they dress per say (if any leprechauns are reading this...), but after the age of 18 it gets a little harder to rock the  stripy socks and green wig look  ;)

St. Patrick's Day is 'round the corner, and what better appetizer than a creamy houmous, to soak up the lashings of Guinness ?!  This is a favorite dip in our house, and makes a welcome appearance on many cocktail parties because it's super easy and quick to make, quite healthy, you can make it a day in advance, and tastes DIVINE!  My husband has been know to "drink" the stuff. Neat! So I always make sure I make plenty. And I have a little secret for making it super creamy too!

I love DIY party favors . Especially the cute but quickie kind! And I often turn to candy, or some variation on the theme...And St Patrick's Day is no different. Take a candy tube, some color appropriate green gumballs , add a dash of cuteness with free printables and voila! Instant favors that will charm the lucky pants off any leprechaun! ;)

St Patrick's Day is just around the corner, so we've been inspired by all things green and gold! Gold is in our party palettes most time of the year, but couple with emerald hues in Feb., it makes for a  classy and grown-up  festive combination for any  St Paddy's Day dinner parties, family gatherings, and of course seasonal weddings!
