What a fun segment- I love Arona's ideas, and can't wait to incorporate them at my next soiree.

I'd love to hear more of her ideas...

These ideas are so creative! I love the interactive herb garden. I cannot believe how detail oriented she is...bedazzled scissors? Who would have thought that these small elements could make such a big impression. I'd love to get more pointers for how to personalize my parties when will she be on next? Fourth of July is just around the corner and I'm in need of something fun and new for my annual BBQ.

This is cool. All the parties my wife and I have need some upscaling. We'll use these and I particularly like Arona's unique ideas. Keep them coming.

Great suggestions and a wonderful segment. Just checked out actionbooth.com and now I know what we'll be doing for our next corporate party outing!

Thanks for the tips. Both practical and stylish!

1st look!? How about a second?! I'd love to hear more fun party ideas that I can do myself, I saw her on a morning show once and used her ideas at a holiday party and they were a hit...maybe show a few of her bigger event ideas too! So creative!

Loved it! The edible herb garden...did she just plant those directly into the containers? Just looking for a little further description so I can do that at my next soiree. Such great great ideas!!!

I'm always looking for fun party ideas! She has stuff that I can actually use at my house.
When is she on again?
