The winter party season is always such a feast for the eyes with the abundance of sparkle and shimmer they always seem to have about them. With the New Years and snowflake season upon us, I was thrilled to see this “Naughty and Nice” dessert spread from my client Platinum Events & Productions.  This table was the statement piece at the Optometrix Holiday Party in Beverly Hills, CA. Beautiful beautiful work!

See even more photos of this sparkly spread at Hostess with the Mostess!

beach christmas web-20

It’s been over a decade since I’ve seen snow in December or had to wear anything but short sleeves on Christmas day. For some, I know that a roaring fire and frigid weather are a must to celebrate the holidays, but not here in Florida. We prefer flip flops and perhaps a frosty beverage. Sure, we have turkey and the trimmings, but those fantastic Floribbean flavors tend to creep into { Read More! }

christmas card 2012-6

It's that time of year again! I'm sure I had good company out there somewhere, as I just spent a few hours tracking down the addresses of people who have moved and writing out all my Christmas cards. Admittedly, I love the process of making the cards and the thought of making the recipients smile but not actually getting them in the mail. This year's Christmas card theme I think is my favorite { Read More! }

For the christmas season, I designed these berry stars. These would be perfect placed int he center of a place setting, or in a little pot for a centerpiece. You could even float these on top of some whipped cream or in a meringue for a { Read More! }

It's one of my very favorite things to get pictures from cool client parties, and it's even more incredible when those clients are colleagues that I admire! Melissa at Buckets of Grace thought on the Gingerbread Christmas Cookie printables for an entire year before she hosted her family gingerbread house party.

My daughter begged for a Christmas party this year—lucky for her it doesn’t take much excuse for me to start designing an event! It was a fun experience planning this party; Maddie was there every step giving her input on what games to play, what food we should eat and what we should drink and give out as favors.  The front rooms of the house were decked out for the party in red and green { Read More! }
