I Need a Little Christmas Foreplay to Get in the Holiday Mood
Whether I like it or not, I’m The Event Planner for the holidays. I need to make myself happy to be able to make anyone else happy.

Redecorating Junkie
I feel “off” if I don’t try to redecorate my mantel spaces, bar top, and/or shelves every so often. I’m especially compelled to make a total difference redecorating for Summer and for Winter. It’s a “Thing”. This year, I happily entertained the achievement of some of this activity both for Halloween here and now for…
Halloween Decorations 2016
I almost didn’t do it. I thought about the effort it smacked of and the time it would take to go into the attic and drag everything out and down. And then I thought about how happy their little faces would be seeing Halloween explode in the house miraculously. And so I decorated! No plan,…
Anchors Away Service Auction
This past weekend, my husband and I had the pleasure of creating the “special” for the special event service auction fundraiser at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at Easton to which we belong. This may have been the fifth special event I’ve decorated here plus various potlucks through the years. A service auction is…
Halloween Eve Decorations
A not so little boy asked if we could pull out the Halloween decorations please? I told him no. But that was because I planned to do it today and, of course, it’s all up in the attic. So while he was off on a field trip today and Fiona was napping, I threw some…
Tissue Tassels

There was that one time my friend and I decorated the most store windows in Denton’s downtown. White paper, shelf paper, cardboard, and tissue paper were…

Fiona’s Second Birthday Party
So we made it to and through Fiona’s second birthday. And the party was a smashing success despite conceiving of it only a little more than a month beforehand. All of our efforts and plans payed off as 20 something of our closest friends and family came to celebrate with us. For me the party…
Paper Chandeliers
I was asked by the Reverend Sue Browning at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Easton, Maryland to spruce up the sanctuary with the idea of celebrating the new Fall season. After a quick perusal of Pinterest, I gathered some images together and made a design plan. Ish. I decided to create circle “chandeliers” which would…
Downtown Denton’s Window Decorations
Once upon a time, in 2010, Downtown Denton, Maryland needed a sprucing up for their upcoming Spring Gala Event to be held there in May out on the street. My friend Danielle was asked by the Arts Council lady Marina, to do something with the mostly empty windows in the store fronts on our Main…
Fiona’s First Birthday Party
Seems in the rush around and shuffle of creativity and Spring projects, I forgot to post a Fiona’s First Birthday party post. Which is to say, you still haven’t seen the pictures of her cupcake face yet. I did show you the party decorations. My paper feathers are still hanging around. See the whole post…
