celebrating 75 years

March 4, 2010 – 11:00 am

Recently I was asked to put together a 75th birthday party announcement for Lorraine…. To just provide the intended guests with a “plain jane” announcement with party details would have not done this wonderful lady’s justice for all that she has accomplished throughout her 75 years….so, I got together with her daughter, Liz, and we started to rummage through her past and present….finding old photos that needed to scanned and slightly restored…finding memories that were once forgotten. Each historical image was a story to be told and everyone coming to the party NEEDS to hear Lorraine’s wonderful stories!!! So I’ve put together an accordian card announcment providing a wonderful timeline of Lorraine’s 75 years….this is just a peek….more to come later….

a celebration with Cinderella…

February 12, 2010 – 5:28 pm

At the end of January, we celebrated Maddie’s 5th birthday party.  Every year we throw a birthday bash for her, and every year it turns more and more into a huge glorious production.  This year, I decided to bring in entertainment {for my sanity, although, it was still totally crazy here!!}.  I met up with networking friend, Jenny Waters, owner of the Social Butterfly and co-owner of the Cinderella Company to discuss my intentions and plan of action for Maddie’s party.  We mutually decided on Cinderella for storytelling, singing, magic and face painting….and a coronation ceremony for Princess Maddie.  WOW!!!!  When Cinderella came to door, Maddie was more than surprised….she was totally enchanted!!!!  With 17 knights, princess maidens and little blossoms running wild with sword fights, makeovers, play doh, food, and candy…Cinderella stole the show and bestowed a whole bit of her magic upon them….

Thank you Cinderella…..as Maddie said on her delightful day, “This is the BEST Party EVER!!!”.
