Hello, I’m Amy Locurto! I live in Texas with my husband, two kids and fluffy black cat. What started in 2008 as a blog about creative things I did at home with my kids, LivingLocurto.com has since turned into a fun and popular DIY Lifestyle Party Food Blog! Today, you will find hundreds of recipes, printables, home decor, travel tips, crafts and party ideas to celebrate life!
I style parties giving each one a unique look. I love the process of creating a celebration with many small details that add up to become a fabulous party! I believe strongly in each party being a reflection of the person being celebrated, and that the best parts of the party are the guests and honoree- I love to give them a memorable experience and show them how glad I am they took the time to celebrate with us!
I grew up in Oklahoma and moved to the fine state of Texas after college where I met my husband and started a cute family. With a Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design, I opened a design firm in 1999 called Atomic Egg. At one point I had well over 40 clients, doing work for each one weekly while trying to raise two small children. Deadlines were tough, clients demanding, life was hectic and sleep was scarce, so I started a blog as a creative outlet to save my sanity. Over the past few years, I have given up ALL clients but one to blog and have never been happier! Sorry if you’re wanting graphic design… the firm is officially closed to new clients.
Now I focus on my online ventures, products, practicing my speaking skills and doing freelance creative work for brands and publications. I love my job!!! Find my printable party collections in my shop, Printables by Amy, and a signature line of paper products, Party with Amy Locurto, through American Crafts.
I also love photography and co-founded I Heart Faces, one of the first and largest photography community for women. We hosted over 9 photography conferences and workshops with a forum of over 18,000 women!
