Dachshunds Make Me Happy






Hot dogs, weiner dogs, or noodle dogs....so many names, ONE GREAT BREED.They say that Dachshunds are like potato chips..you can't just have one! Well this is my sincere hope for me and my husband. We are in love with our little pupdog Daisy (the one in the blue plaid number)and cannot wait to get another one! Known for being very docile but also stubborn at times, dachshunds are full of character! So go get yourself a long bodied, short legged, fun little fur ball today!

Cathy Riva- Mad Hatter Tea Party





I love Cathy Riva. Here is one of my favorite episodes of the show she used to host on Discovery Home called "Party Girl".The ideas she comes up with for this Mad Hatter Tea Party are too cute! I especially love the use of the wheat grass as a table runner! Enjoy!

Sex and The City Makes Me SO Happy










So I think that it is definatley safe to say that I have a obsession with Sex and The City! I love the clever writing and quirky charcters. No show makes me want to go to New York more than Sex and The City! They even have Sex and The City tours in NYC!This show is responsible for popularizing many things that are well known and well loved today, like the nameplate necklace, Manolo Blahnik (just because you can't afford somthing doesn't mean that you can't love it) and they ever-popular comopoltans.So cherished by the multitudes, and also missed after it went off the air in 2004, Sex and The City has even become a movie!So if you love Sex and The City and you love planning parties as much as I do, then combine these two great loves and have the girls over for a viewing party! Just don't forget the cosmopolitans!

The Nice Ice Wine Cooler





Ever wish there was another way to keep your wine cool when you are having a party other than to keep it in a bucket with ice?Well what if the bucket WAS MADE OF ICE?? Perpetualkid.com is selling these two piece sets for only 23.99! fill the mold with berries or food coloring as well as water to create a unique look to match your party! Or you could just fill it with distilled water and add a stunning touch to your next event! Whatever suites your fancy! Who says that style can't be functional?

Game Night!






I LOVE game nights! I am a huge dork and I think that staying in and just playing board games with your friends is one of the funnest ways to spend the evening! So I thought...why not have a party with an awesome "game night" theme!I would stray from the "usual" black and red "card suites" theme however. Even if you invite a larger amount of people , there are plenty of games that are made for large groups.So fun!...I wonder how hard it would be to design an invitation that looks like a Twister spin board?

Sangria Makes Me Happy



Sangria is by far my absolute favorite alcoholic beverage! Best served as cold as possible.

you will need:
4 oranges - 2 juiced and 2 cut into rounds
1/3 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of brandy
1 bottle of red wine
2 lemons cut into thin rounds
2 cups club soda

you can also add: apples, cherries, or whatever other fruit you think is yummy!

Make 24 hours ahead to allow all of the flavors to mingle!( except the club soda, which you shoud add in no longer than an hour before serving )
Enjoy!
