I decided to start a blog about entertaining...recipes, parties and decor..because its what I love to do! I love when someone suggests a party, my mind instantly starts going and doesn't stop till its executed.
I've always loved to entertain, love having company and dinner guests. But the love for going all out with ANY occasion started in 2010, when my bestie J came back from a visit home. She was telling us how a family member would throw these theme parties for all their friends...well why couldnt we do the same? Doesnt have to be expensive, when your a crafty stay at home mom with awesome friends...you can make anything you put your mind to. So our parties are mainly DIY! LOVE IT!
First party we did was a a sports themed surprise party for one of the boys...in Jan 2010. The pictures arent great of the decor wasnt anticipating blogging about the parties...but here are a few of our favorite things.
Beer Bottle Trophy
Beer Can Chandelier, what goes better with sports than beer!
..we made some sports penants and defence signs (yes the kind with the D and the picture of the fence) all over the kitchen (where as we know, the most people are). We marked off the table cloth like a football field and bought the famous foam fingers

We bought a little suction cup basketball net, and called it fun shot...it was an adult birthday party, I think you know how it went from there. Here's the score board we painted...with attached chalk for keeping score.
So this was the very first party I had to test the waters a bit, everyone showed up wearing their sports jersey and had a blast...and the "monster" was created.
