A new reason to party!

I don't know how long this particular "day" has been around, but you ever needed a great reason to do nothing and celebrate it, here it is... April 7th is No Housework Day! That to me sounds like the perfect theme for a party gather the girls , or guys gather your dudes, and have some fun. Why not dress for the occasion in your best aprons and rubber gloves, use buckets,(clean ones of course), for your drinks, your cleaning caddy for napkins, condiments etc. Send out invitations on a To Do List and enjoy the day off.

Cheap decor idea!

I wanted to share this cute little decorating idea that is really great on the budget.

These are just juice sized cups, these happen to be plastic, in red and clear colors. I put in some black rocks and then added one of those flamess candles on top. These look really great if you have a ledge up high that you can line them across and just see the light flickering on your wall. The cups can be found at places like kmart, target, etc. I found mine at kmart for a set of 4 on clearance for about $2.00. The rocks came in good sized bag at the Dollar Tree, and the candles come in a 2 pack at the Dollar Tree as well. The kids sure would be able to help put these together for you.

SUPERBOWL

For those of you that are sports fans the Super Bowl will soon be here, Feb.1st to be exact. I thought I would share a picture of a invitation I did for my sons football team party, that would work great for your Super Bowl Invites. It's made to look like an event ticket with all your information on it. This idea can work with any sport or even a music themed party as a concert ticket.

Heres a slideshow of some of the designs you can find on my busines site Simply Wrapd.

I just hosted a basketball party for my sons team, and wanted to share this really neat idea for a centerpiece. I used a hurricane style base, layered it with different colored pinto beans,(but you could use sand, rocks,etc), and put mini hackysack basketballs on top with tall twigs coming out of the top. I’ve included a picture so you can see it. I thought it turned out pretty cute. I also used a bunk bed ladder in the corner to put basketballs on.

Martha Stewart I'm not...

Now this idea might not work for everyone, but those of you who have the on demand feature on your cable box, here’s a tip. Martha Stewart has craft and organizing ideas from her show that you can access at any time. They are all categorized by theme like, kids, weddings, crafts. etc. It’s a great little way to get new inspiration with step by step instuctions.

Starting the Year off right

Happy New Year ! I decided that I needed to at least attempt my new year's resolution this year, even though it's always the same, Get Organized. I'm proud to say that I have actually made progress. During this process I've realized that another factor to throwing an event , is keeping track of supplies. How many times have we bought something only to realize we had red balloons already from a previous occassion. Designate an area where you know you will be keeping your party supplies, and be sure to make a list and check off what you already own and how many.
