Friday Confession By The Planner: Indecisive

<strong>Happy Friday Friends!!!</strong> I am having one of those moments when you can't make up your mind what you want to do. Have you ever had that type of moment? I am planning the <strong><em>Satff Appreciation Luncheon</em></strong> for my Supervisor and after coming up with various ideas, either I have another idea or she does. Isn't that so frustrating when you have a deadline to meet?? We typically get all excited about an event and brainstorm numerous decor ideas, but as soon as we see some other inspiration, we change our minds. <em><strong>Oh, well that's</strong></em> <em><strong>life</strong></em>. <br /> <br /> Tell me some of the times you where planning an event that lead you to changing plans and how you dealt with your indecisive moment of planning. Until the next blog, article, confession or event <strong><em>CHEERS</em></strong>!!!

Things that make me say,"Hmmm"!!

Unfortunately the Metroplex has been inundated with iced roads, windy conditions, and record breaking cold temperatures. My question now is where we (DFW Metroplex), prepared for one of the largest, if not the largest event ever?? You might say, "<em><strong>Social Butterfly Diva</strong></em>, people can't control the weather or Mother Nature." You are absolutely right we can't, however we have the ability to plan for various situations. Planning any event requires preparation no matter the size of the event small or large. My great city had the pleasure to host the <strong>2010 All Star Weekend</strong> in February this past year.<br>

I have had a lot going on these days that has not allowed me to blog, Facebook, text, or Twitter. You know family is the most important thing and right now that is where my focus has been. Starting February 1, 2011. I will be back in motion 100%. I thank you all for your patience. Though I have not been blogging, I have been thinking about a lot of awesome subjects and articles. <br> <br> I will be blogging about Super Bowl 45 for sure. As you know, I am here in Dallas, Texas. I will be blogging about Super Bowl House Parties, Celebrity Parties, NFL Experience, and various Galas in the city are surrounding the celebration of the Super Bowl 45. If you are unaware, I am a DIE Heart Dallas Cowboy Fan. Yes, I said it. And though we did not have a successful season my native city is hosting this great event, so I say why not participate. <br>

Party Like A RockStar

Birthday 38 was such a blast. My 38th B day was simple, but sweet. It included dinner dates with Girlfriends, Happy Hour at one of the hottest clubs in the Metroplex, love, laughter, and marching in the MLK parade with Mocha Sisters in observance of Dr. Kings Birthday. Some people may say what's the big deal or you are getting old, so why talk about it. As I have stated numerous times before I love a party, a celebration, a get together, or special event. It does not matter if it is my birthday, my children, family or friends. Party ideas for a Mother are as plentiful as for children. The honoree's likes and interest should always be apart of the planning of her special celebration. A Girlfriend Slumber Party, Girls Night Out or a fabulous party at a trendy club or special event location.<br /> <br /> Though my birthday this year is not a "milestone" birthday, I truly have a lot to be thankful for and to celebrate pertaining to life. Life is precious and any birthday deserves recognition. So remember that when your family or friends birthdays approach. It is about the small things. A birthday message through text, Facebook, or phone. A birthday note or card. I received them all and I will tell you it made my week not just my day. <br /> <br /> Now raise your glass! Here's to a prosperous, productive and profitable year! Until the next blog, confession, article, event or party, CHEERS!!

What is most important about the celebrations is that the Employers are showing Employee Appreciation. <br>

My consideration to dive into this industry was not at all by chance, but based upon a longtime passion. The loving of throwing an unforgettable event that surpasses the client's dream is art. Today the industry is saturated with various persons from various backgrounds that either exceed abundantly or fail just the same. Even though the industry is saturated with many "Wedding Planners", there are few that master organizing, planning, budgeting, creativity, and provide memorable "World Class" client satisfaction. This past Summer I had the opportunity to introduce myself to The Wedding Diva, Linnyette Richardson-Hall.<br>

When I tell you the selection is plentiful and elegant, I mean just that.

Economical Holiday Decor Shopping

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us most families have the tradition of starting to decorate their homes for Christmas the day after. Black Friday and Cyber Monday or Week are great times to locate new trendy decor for the occasion. I personally have found deals at Big Lots, Target, Walmart, and even Kmart for Holiday decor. You can locate everything from Christmas trees pre-lit or not to yard decor. Holiday decorations are so important since they tend to set the mood. Deciding on your decor color scheme is equivalent to the interior designing decisions of your home. You should not have a tree with red bows and ornaments, but stockings and door wreath that are white and gold. So take the time to plan out how you would like your decor to look. Remember your decor will appear in your Family Christmas pictures.<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRBKHE2WRF8TLW4rmN-1IYpxrfbkWbGnk876dimq0lxIgJnEQFL67RsdEcisszG7ooSjAfc290fMGiWQoWfivYEkexsQP1YyY0rPTc-fszN1Kw7nWvYC5SjO2QdTmlDyc9TfkPmHSAxFE5/s1600/1164421976_1280x1024_christmas-tree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRBKHE2WRF8TLW4rmN-1IYpxrfbkWbGnk876dimq0lxIgJnEQFL67RsdEcisszG7ooSjAfc290fMGiWQoWfivYEkexsQP1YyY0rPTc-fszN1Kw7nWvYC5SjO2QdTmlDyc9TfkPmHSAxFE5/s320/1164421976_1280x1024_christmas-tree.jpg" width="320"></a></div>

Decorating for your Family's Thanksgiving Dinner

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Thanksgiving is 5 days away. What are your plans? My plans are to be with family. I definitely can not wait to taste my Grandmother Pearlene's famous Sweet Potato Pie. There is no other recipe like my Grandmother's. Well we all look forward to the spread of food for Thanksgiving, but what about the decor. Most of the time decor for the Holidays only comes to mind when thinking of Christmas. However Thanksgiving is worthy of decor as well. Decor could be as simple as a fall wreath on the door, pumpkins, and scarecrows like for Harvest Fest. The dinner table setting is most important. The presentation adds to the enjoyment of partaking in the feast.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br> </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWQ-0HWjY0TkkVTgwdDmPw5MOe1JM9jAff88A5sUQogh7C3GT4h7qXrh4da15bK0sbqUmjEHVgRgLbl27PXua-7mxMUiBfHW7_ExaxdbvITM59967OgLVB67N4fCmIJzhyKpyHolJFUM6/s1600/Beautiful-Thanksgiving-Table-Decorations-Ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWQ-0HWjY0TkkVTgwdDmPw5MOe1JM9jAff88A5sUQogh7C3GT4h7qXrh4da15bK0sbqUmjEHVgRgLbl27PXua-7mxMUiBfHW7_ExaxdbvITM59967OgLVB67N4fCmIJzhyKpyHolJFUM6/s320/Beautiful-Thanksgiving-Table-Decorations-Ideas.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br> So I am going to share some table decorating ideas that will not present a challenge. First let's start with a table cloth. The tablecloth can be in the brown or orange family. Make sure that you have measured the tables length and width, ensuring that the tablecloth covers the entire table, but does not drag the floor. The next accent is a table runner. Preferably a lighter color than the tablecloth. If you do not like table runners, then place mats instead should be okay. Chargers placed at each sit, then plates and napkins to match the runner or place mats, and eating utensils placed in the proper eating etiquette order. Drinking goblets add a nice touch no matter the drink being served. Centerpieces such as a Vase with flowers, or large glass globe with Thanksgiving inspired decor. Surrounding the centerpiece should be pillar candles. Another choice could be a Thanksgiving inspired arrangement. This type of table decorating would require a separate table for the food. The food table should be decorated as well. The Turkey as the centerpiece and all sides arranged around the Turkey. I also love having a separate table for desserts. Your tablecloths for your food tables should match the dinner table, if not the runner as a contrast. <br>
