Good Morning Darlings!
Merry Christmas Eve to you and your loved ones.
2013’s Black Tie Gala is now behind us and I thought I would share some photos with you.
This year’s theme was The Enchanted Forest and as I am the least crafty person I know, I have no clue why I picked a theme that would be so danged craft-intensive.
Luckily, a boodle of my friends were happy to pitch in and make 50 tissue paper clouds, dozens of giant butterflies and paper flowers the size of trees. I was concerned it would look like a cheesy prom, but you know what? It looked really cool.
Eric and I fashioned a snowy owl out of foam core board and feathered boas. Sarah and Valerie strung a boodle of snowflakes to hang from the living room ceiling and Eric made the coolest giant mushrooms.
Later that night, I spied my friend giving Tracy’s 70+ aunt a lap dance, friends took a million photos with the giant flowers and we danced until we dropped. The last guest left at 4:30 a.m. Holly, Eric and I stayed up til 6 a.m. recalling all the fun.
BEST.PARTY.EVER.
Here’s a peek:
The dining room changed to the bar with a spring motif that had clouds and butterflies flying from the ceiling.

I am so happy our darling, Chioke, is back from NYC!

Here is a shot of Eric and I wrestling among the giant blooms.
Eric is fluffing the flowers so they will look great in the photos. I just giggled.
A few more shots that just warmed my heart. This was a very special party with our favorite people.

That’s it!
