WELCOME!

It is time to get this blend of party celebrating (No - that is not redundant. When a party is successful, I can't help but celebrate. Call it a party party!) and "Dear Abby" tucked into one neat little place where we can make each other's day a bit brighter!

With nearly 40 years of party & wedding planning behind me, i would love to share my experiences with you. Please send your friends here to share funny or crazy stories, ask their puzzling party questions - "How much dip do I make for 25 people?", get some decorating ideas  - "I want to do more than dollar store streamers, but have a limited budget", help with entertaining children - "What games and activities can I do with 12 six-year olds?", or simple things - "Can I thaw a Thanksgiving turkey somewhere other than my fridge?"

You may logically be thinking that Pinterest is full of these sort of answers, and you would be correct! however, Pinty is often overwhelming to people and they are not sure how to begin their search in a sea of millions of photos. Few things delight me more than finding those answers for you!

SO...Let's get started! As this blog gets underway and I add fun and exciting pictures, please submit your best questions, and send your friends. The best question by October 15 (my birthday!) will receive a party pack in the mail - complete with cups, napkins, flatware, recipes, and decorating ideas in a theme or colors of your choice - to throw a party for 8 guests!
