A Mad Men Christmas







I was too late to the party.
The Mad Men Collection sold out at
Banana Republic.

This collection,
almost,
makes me want to get an office job
or
better yet,
go to some really fun parties.

What about you,
do you own any Mad Men pieces?

Two weeks of Parties


Its a good thing I don't drink.
I have been to three parties in the last two weeks.
If I had been the drinking kind,
I would have been stuck in bed,
hung over,
feeding my children Cheerios from a box.
Oh wait,
my only child left at home is 15.

She is still asking me,

What's for breakfast?
What's for lunch?
What's for dinner?

and if I had been drinking,
my answer would have been, Cheerios.

What is it with children and meals?


We will call this, the "SWEET" baby shower Party.


We used  Martha Stewart party supplies.


and all the sweets were made by the hostesses,
 CARAMEL popcorn, peach CUPCAKES,
chocolate DIPPED pretzel sticks, SUGAR cookies, 
RED velvet CAKE,
and CANDY in jars.


I changed the color of the ELEPHANT to red.
A much better choice than the orange.

I didn't get any pictures of the next party we went too,
My nephew's COLLEGE graduation party.
It was held at a local FAVORITE restaurant.
I miss their TACOS.
We don't frequent this place very often, due to the fact that
our OLD Business partners who RIPPED us off,
can you say "WHITE COLLAR CRIME?"
LIVE THERE.
When I was going through the paperwork to prove their "THIEVERY",
there was charge after charge on the credit card bill to this place.
and to think I was at home,
feeding my family CHEERIOS.
Oh well,
LIFE goes ON.



Next up,
my MOTHER'S 80th birthday party.


My sister got this idea off of Pinterest.
We made copies of pictures of my Mom from the time she was little to now.
It was a lot of fun getting these pictures together
and going over to my sister's house to put them together to form the 80.
After going through all the pictures,
I've decided that I have,
ONE HOT MOM.


WOW!
and that is after SIX children.
We must have been really good CHILDREN...


A picture with two of her grandchildren.

It was a great NIGHT with family and friends, 
CHINESE food, balloons, misters, and 
tres LECHE cake, as requested by her and a CHAMPAGNE toast.
A BIG thank you to my sister for hosting this party.

Inspiration



Last year when I was planning my daughter's wedding,
I came across some beautiful wedding blogs.


I have since saved them to my sidebar.
I love to look at them for inspiration.
They have some great ideas for parties in general.
I love the tables above with their white table clothes and
brown grainsacks.
Doesn't this deck look fun for a party?




A beautiful cake.


Another beautiful cake.

And what's a party with out a pretty party dress?

except the party dress,
I can't remember where I found this image

Country Lighting

I am such a
sucker
for
simplicity...
I love the ambiance
of the
glowing candles
in the
mason jars...
and the way they
cleverly
placed the name tags
on the outside of
the jars
that they will be
using for their
drinking glasses...
Cheers,
Petie
