I was just starting to get excited about Easter, when the folks at Favor Affair reminded me that graduation isn’t all that far off for some of us and those planning any sort of graduation festivities better get planning (don’t worry, back to Easter and birthday parties, soon). So I dug up the announcements I [...]

Birthdays and babies happen through out the year, so how do you handle one of those events when so many holiday decorations and festivities have over taken your house?

A Sweet Celebration–Tessa’s 1st birthday party

Sweet Celebration

We had a cupcake-themed birthday party for my baby girl on Saturday. Here are the details as promised.

This entire invitation is digital, except for the cupcake liner [...]

Arabian Nights–Gourmet group

It was gourmet group again this weekend, and my friends Jackie and Dierdre did not disappoint! We were treated to an evening of middle eastern cuisine, great atmosphere, and even belly dancing! They transformed Jackie’s living room by placing the tables on the floor and lining the walls with rich colored fabric. There were pillows [...]
