Happy Birthday To ME!

This year I decided to celebrate my birthday at the last min. I won some fabulous invites from Jess at Party Box Design by way of Celebrations at Home. Unfortunately, since I couldn't get my act together and waited too late, I decided that I would use my winnings from another party.
Below is the invitation (that I so love) in an inspiration board.

I'm still doing a party but I'm relocating it to a hotel room in DC to be followed by a night of dancing. I decided to do a little decorating as well with the goal of not buying anything new and reusing party goods from birthday past. View Here and Here.

Michelle of Maddycakes Muse did a cool thing on her birthday by telling bloggers 10 things they did not know about her. I thought this was great so I wanted to also share some things (5) you didn't know about me.

Here it goes:

1) I am a preachers kid. My father, however was very cool at letting me make my own decisions and encouraged me to grow in develop just how I wanted in life.

2) Though I love to party plan, I have another passion-Human Services. This is why I chose the profession of being a Probation Officer. I love this and would never leave and become a party planner full time.

3) I never crafted anything until I was 29

4) I commute to my full-time job everyday. A total of 3 hrs driving time

5) I thank God for introducing me into the party blogging world where I have made great connections and have been inspired deeply.

Homegoods Finds

I don't mean to sound like a broken record. But I love Homegoods. My husband really believes that I should buy stock in it because he knows it's only going up with me shopping there.

Anywho, I have found three great items for my upcoming parties. I have been eyeing this cupcake stand for a while. I promised myself that I would only get it if I could use it for more that one party. So be prepared to see this a lot!

These plates and napkins screamed Sex and the City when I saw them and knew that they would be perfect. I'm going more for that Charlotte look.

Wouldn't this be a cute sign holder for the Princess and the Frog Party. It was on clearance too. Gotta love Homegoods.

Fabulous Find

As you all may have figured out by now, I live in Homegoods. I think they have the best party items and I find great inspiration there. This is my latest find. Not sure what I'm using it for as of yet, but I'm sure we will have a good time whatever it is.
