I want

Sometimes I think I missed my calling in life.  Well, not really calling because you just can't discount the road that got you to where you are.  But sometimes, especially recently, I think it would be just oh so fun to plan events.  Not so much the wedding things but parties, themed parties.  I think it would be fun to take a theme and a color scheme and do all the little things to make the event special.  And the above picture next to the professional pictures really makes me want a better camera... sigh.

I would especially love to put events together like this:

or this:


I just think it would be fun to have pull it off.  To just make that special event a treat for the eyes as well as the mouth.  Someday huh.

  1. SWEET! Sammy said he wants to give everyone a magic wand at his birthday party. So, now I actually have to come up with something so the wands don't look out of place. I should just give you and Sharon money and stay home. Party planning gives me hives...

    (wv is session. As in therapy? See: what party planning does to me...)

  3. The 27th. Sharon started tossing ideas at me today before I turned off the computer and started whimpering. Really. Isn't this why people pay party planners? So they don't have to do this sort of thing? I'm such a wuss...

  4. If he wants to give everyone wands do you want to do a Harry potter type thing or magician stuff? if so I can totally help. If not so I can totally help! What can I say, I'm easy.

  5. I love this kind of stuff. I love planning parties. I'd much rather plan them than attend them (at least the kid ones). I've thrown some great adult parties, if I do say so myself. And by adult, I mean...never mind.

  6. 1. Sorry I'm hogging comments!

    2. He said more "rabbit in a hat" kinda thing. I tried to push him toward "magical dragon" but that was a no go and he doesn't know Harry Potter yet.

    3. I totally want to go to one of lbs' "adult" parties. Hee!

  9. As long as you are the baker as well because we all know you are the BEST baker! ;) I sure thought that the party I attended was the cutest one around with the best/most colorfully arranged food/center pieces around! who has time to cut out little signs, paste them to card stock twice and then glue toothpicks to them!? They were so adorable! I'll be sure to use your services in future planning events (only if you have time).
