Love entertaining, especially outside at your home? Some of my fondest memories are of backyard parties my mom threw as a child, so I have never grown tired of the outdoor soiree hosted at home by yours truly. Inexpensive and about as creative as you want to get, backyard parties can be thrown for pretty much any occasion, from formal to last minute super casual. Add some balloons, festive food and fabulous drinks, and you have all you need. Well, maybe guests, but when they hear about these fun ideas, they are sure to come running over immediately.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
