For a change, here is a party I just got to attend, and didn’t have to lift one crazy finger for. This party was a surprise for my friend, Kim’s birthday. Her husband gets BIG kudos for coming up with this and for providing us with a LIMOUSINE for the night (my first ride ever!), […]
Giveaway–Is it that time of year already???
September 12, 2008 by 3 Comments
When the weather is still in the triple digits (here in Hades…I mean, Arizona), it is sometimes hard to realize how soon certain holidays will be upon us. But all of us crazy/crafty people need time to plan a good shindig, so it really is time to think about Halloween (while we lounge by the […]
Stellar Invitations
September 10, 2008 by 7 Comments
I was excited enough about the invitations I made for my son’s rocket/space themed birthday, that I thought that they deserved their own post. I will be posting about the rest of the party, soon. I designed these digitally on my computer using elements from some of my favorite digital scrapbooking kits (credits below). They […]

It was my turn to host our gourmet group this month. Remember this gourmet group dinner, my friend and I did last year. Well, this was totally different. In the spirit of full disclosure, I must tell you that am not really that much of a gourmet. I LOVE eating good food and trying new […]

I am busy preparing for my Gourmet Group luncheon on Saturday. I thought it would be fun to show you what I did last year, even though this year I am going in a very different direction. The Gourmet Group is a group of women who love good food and entertaining. The themes and presentation […]

Design Mom has declared today (Thursday, Aug. 28) Nie-Nie Day. There are more than 100 silent auctions going on at various blogs, with all proceeds going directly to the Nielson Recovery Fund.

Wii love to party!

I think we are probably the only family in the country who doesn’t own a Wii. Just because that is a fact that probably won’t be changing anytime in the near future, doesn’t mean that I don’t think a Wii-themed party would be lots of fun. My sister, Trina, just threw an Olympics/Wii-themed party for […]
Trenton’s Truck Birthday

As I am starting to get ready for my son’s big astronaut party, I thought it would be fun to share some of what we did last year for his 3rd b-day…A construction/truck party. Going completely against my nature, I bought invitations this time. This was only because the invitation was the exact concept I […]
