Leanne A throws some of the most beautiful parties! Her latest one, Jade's 13th Birthday Party, had such a gorgeous dessert table backdrop, that when I saw on Leanne's blog, Mrs. A in the Cove, that she was putting together a tutorial, I asked if I could repost it.

Today is my big TV debut! I'm going to be on KTLA, a local TV station in LA, to discuss ideas for throwing a royal wedding viewing party. I'm on their morning show and my segment should air around 8:45am.

In case you don't live in LA or miss the broadcast, I thought I'd share with you the ideas I'm presenting today! (Catherine from Design Editor helped with these ideas, so thank you, Catherine.)
