Hi party pals! Are you excited for the 4th of July? I know I am! This weekend I get to go to a wedding in Colorado and get out of the Arizona heat hooray! The fourth is a great time to get together with family and friends. Since my family will be out of town I didn’t know if we would really get to celebrate the red, white and blue. I couldn’t have that, so I decided to put together a little “Fauxth” of July/Fourth of July party! If you can’t do it on the actual day why not pick another day. Since the fourth is on Friday you might be working but you can still celebrate all weekend! I put together some easy decorations mostly from the dollar section at Target. Any excuse to go to Target I will take. I really should not be allowed in that store, it’s too much fun! read more

Hello party pals! My name is Valerie but you can call me Val :). I am so excited to begin this blogging adventure! I am a little slow to come around to the whole technology thing Twitter, Facebook and Snapchat, it is all a foreign language to me. I have thought about blogging before but I am finally making it happen, eek! I think this will be a great creative outlet for me. A place to share with you all my events and providing you with some inspiration. So who am I you might be wondering. I have worked in event planning for many years planning weddings, conferences, receptions and birthday parties. In the last few years I have also helped my loved ones plan parties for important occasions in their lives. I love coming up with themes, creating decor, cupcakes and seeing it all come together. The best part of any event for me is seeing the look on the person of honors face when they walk into the room. They just light up and it brings me so much joy. Come along with me as I show you parties I have planned and give you ideas for your own events! read more
