Alexandra Hedin is a party girl, cooking and crafting out of a renovated fire station in Seattle, Washington. Her simple approach to making everyday a reason to celebrate has made her an admired contributor to magazines and television. Alexandra's book, Entertaining at Home, features 10 complete parties including inspiration, recipes, and crafts. She has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, HGTV.com, Martha Stewart Radio, Design *Sponge, SheKnows.com, Red Tricycle, and on the Seattle affiliates of NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX. Her parties, recipes, and crafts can be found in every issue of 425 Magazine. Alexandra grew up in the noisy kitchen of a home economics teacher helping to feed a large extended family for holidays and regular weekends together. She still spends her free time cooking and baking for her husband and three {very young} children.
