We want to make sure that every guest #1 knows they are invited #2 Dresses up and #3 goes home with a lot of prizes and last but not least #4 has an amazing time at the party!

Purchasing any necessities at 75% off for…

Time for a Party?
The stress of the holiday season was not officially over for me until January 10th this year. For some odd reason I have been appointed as my company party planner even though I do accounting. I have tried to protest multiple times but in the end I just don’t know how to say no. Last Summer I organized & carried out an overnight couples retreat for our entire company & spouses up at Snowbird Ski resort. It was a lot of fun & apparantly I did a well enough job that the owner of the company asked if I would plan & carry out our holiday party. I couldn’t come…
