Penn West Christmas Party November 27/2010

When Stacy contacted me from Penn West to do their Christmas Party, I knew it had to be nothing short of perfect! They told me right away they wanted white and silver as their colours, which excited and scared me. Having no pops of a "colour" could potentially make a room look bland...BUT
five broken nails later, when the whole room transformed into this amazingly elegant ambiance, I knew I killed it!

I need you to know that I truly have the best friends in the whole world! The pre-stress that went into this event was solely and only due to these organza chair sashes. For those of you who have used an organza chair sash you know that they are flimsy and don't hold big bows nicely, and me being a perfectionist I needed them to look better then good, and would settle for nothing short of this. So thankfully the week before Sarah, Patrick, Lorne and Amanda were there to help me per-fect the end result!

This event wouldn't have turned out  if it wasn't for Amanda. She was there all day for me, twisting the balls around the chair sash's, setting up the Christmas tree and just really being there for me and I am just so thankful for her!  I also want to thank the Penn West girls that were there in the morning, as well as Danita for her advice and dealing with Amanda and I's singing all day :)

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

Quick Update

Ok so I said I was going to better with posting and I wasn't....so I apologize! Since my last posting there was Halloween, which was fantastic for me. My 3 year old nephew Easton came down from Regina to do his trick-r-treating here...needless to say the whole event was hilarious! He was a frog...who didn't speak..sometimes he actually just awkwardly stood there and stared as people while they would give him candy...his manners though were tremendous,  thank you's were no problem.  Unfortunately Tina and I were too busy laughing the whole time so we didn't get a single picture! Terrible, I know. But just so you know how cute he is, here is Easty, being Easty.

November so far has been fantastically crazy...for real, there is always something happening! 'Tis the season of Christmas I suppose! First off I love Christmas... the best part of Christmas for me is all the funny stories that come out of. My family Christmas's never disappoint in that department. Last year I found labels in the kitchen and proceeded to "re-name" everyone in my family with completely ridiculous names. For example, my brothers name is Colin ..so I renamed him "Rectum" hahaha I laugh just thinking about it again.
Not to mention when you give a killer gift, and you see the person's reaction and you know they love it....there is nothing better! My next favorite part of Christmas is all the lights...is there anything more beautiful then driving around on a calm white winter night looking at all the different lights on peoples houses...its perfect!
You see though my problem is my husband bought a sled....sooooo I am very interested to see if he will "find the time" to hang our lights...I would try but you see me, heights, snow, tangled lights....it's a recipe for disaster! I know better! Ha

Back to decorating though. I did these centerpieces for for the Quota Club here in Estevan. They had a press conference at Houston Pizza, and gave these away along with their door prizes at the end of the night. There colors are blue and silver. So I filled the vases with blue Hersey cookies N cream chocolates!
