The complexity and structure of these paper parasols disguise how simple this project actually is. Your table will look sophisticated but it won’t cost you much and it won’t take long to create.

This paper topiary injects a welcome sense of fun into an otherwise formal setting and adds a nice dash of color to the setting.

A simple handful of rice holds my standards in place in their pots and does double duty by echoing the theme of my party.

Pier 1 has these cool Tasting Dishes and luckily my mom has a few sets – I think I will borrow them. Perfect for tiny tidbits! And they have some great bite-sized recipes too.

    Having been a commercial diver and fished in some strange
    places for some equally curious fish, my skepticism
    of the Loch Ness Monster would have alienated me from some interesting characters,
    who were going to be my customers for the next two months.
    However, there are various kinds of salmon and hardly any of them
    are more strong and bouncy than others. Investigation everything concerning your angling journey upfront.

    Lots of fab ideas here this morning Jen! I am not sure why, but New Years has never been a big deal for me. I think that's because with five kids I never got into the habit of going out on NY eve. (babysitters were far too expensive) and then I am a person that's always too tired to stay up until midnight! Iknow, I'm just an old fuddie duddie! Nevermind, I love you and wish you and your family the best New Year ever! xxoo
