We had our RS progressive dinner Thursday night...and I was the soup/salad part of the dinner. We planned for 40-45 women and we ended up with 60 (curious as to what 60 people looked like in my house? images below give a pretty good idea). Anyway, I informed my friend that I would love to host it, but to not plan on my actually being able to decorate for it...so she graciously agreed to come and do it for me (with my checkbook of course!), and had help from Sara Murray who owns a boutique downtown called...."Fancy That!" (get it?) Anyway she transformed my pathetic, kid trashed tree into a little glitter wonderland...Let's start there shall we (these are for my mother and sister who would give anything to just follow decorators around all day...I think I'm starting to be in the category of just paying them and leaving all day :)
And let's not forget to include another stunning "Laina posed" image!
Next we shall move onto the nice little fireplace they did...we later swagged the garland in front of the fireplace.
And now for the serving table and the wonderful (they were easy Tia) centerpieces they did. The nice thing is, I get to re-use these for Matt's office party on Tuesday (nothing big...only 20 people this time!)
And here we go from quiet and tranquil.....
to CRAZY!!!! (but a good crazy :)
(and this would be where I made most of my friends hang out...on the floor of the kitchen :)
So....they came...they ate...and I ended up with some nice decorations...I just need to save this post so I know how to put them up for next year!

You are a good woman. That is insane. You know that anytime food is the main purpose of an activity, you should double the amount ot people who will come.
