I’ve been planning parties since I was 8 when I wanted to discuss my birthday party much sooner than my mom did.

My birthday is January 31st, which seemed very, very far from Christmas when I was little. I can now understand my mom’s rule of “no talking about your birthday before the New Year” and her ultimate decision to just put me in charge since I was unable to follow this rule.

This isn’t a party theme book but a way for you to think through and plan the details of your event, no matter the size or theme.

You will create a blueprint for your ultimate event and go from brainstorming party planning ideas to detailed plans and shopping lists.

I love planning (or styling as I like to say) a party, sometimes even more than attending. The joy for me is in the creative process from idea to end result. At my husband’s 60th birthday party a few guests asked if I was a party planner and could they hire me – the ultimate compliment to that DIY bash!

I’m not a professional party planner but a creative person like you.

I love to make all the things! As an artist and craft designer I have an eye for color, design and scale and I’m here to help you DIY the Party. With a little imagination and some basic supplies, you can transform any space into a festive celebration that will leave your guests impressed and delighted.
