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….

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