Classy Event Organizer

Back in Time - Happy 2013!

I am back from a LOOOONG break trying to get my life back in order from a BIG move!

Buying a house is a HUGE event in one’s life, and if you've ever bought a house, or had to move all of your earthly possessions from one place to another, you KNOW what I’m talking about!

I want to take a few minutes (or posts) to bring ya’ll up to speed as to what has been going on! I have had a LOT of really cool events and parties go on in the last couple months that I want to share how I organized for them and how they went! (That is the point of this blog in case you were curious!)

Also, I have a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW BLOG starting in the next couple of days… Classy Food Organizer (yes, CFO… totally cute right?) I am on a mission to create awesome party friendly (and diet friendly) recipes and I want you to join in too! More on this later….

Let’s recap the LAST event in my townhouse apartment – New Year’s Eve 2012!

Due to most of the items in the apartment being packed up, NYE was a very low key event (meaning, the Mr. Fix-it Fiance, and his Awesome Accountant sister were the only attendants!) and all of these pictures were taken with my phone, not my trusty camera!

The food and drink was VERY simple! Pink Champagne, because you can't have a NYE party without Champange, accented with Champange cupcakes, with Pink Champange frosting!

I set out the cupcakes as a "DIY cupcake bar" so that we each could decide exactly HOW MUCH icing we wanted on a cup cake. This is a great idea, because not only is it fun to frost a cupcake to one's liking, but also those who don't like icing, don't have to eat it! I LOVE win/win ideas!

I was told that eating doughnuts on New Year's is a tradition, and that they bring luck! Since we hadn't heard any final details about the closing of our house, I thought we could use ALL the good luck we could get. I used doughnut holes instead of full doughnuts...

This is the spread of my last event in my townhouse apartment! I am SO excited to share with you all of the new events that have gone on since New Year's Eve!

One last picture of my yummy cupcake!

I hope you all have a Happy Monday!!

Hello 2013!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013!

Yesterday I shared a look back at 2012, today I'm sharing a look forward to 2013...

As you all know, I am an avid Pinterest user, so it makes sense that I used the pictures on pinterest to create my 2013 list of New Years Resolutions. Lets discuss:

1. Bake more: I LOVE to bake, but I've been getting lazy and buying store bought!

2. Exercise more: I am signed up for a 5k in March... Let's get this done!

3. Work on my Mary Kay business: I love the products... more on this later!

4. Keep to my new motto: Keep your heels, head, and standards high. LOVE IT!

5. Expand the C.E.O. Brand: More on this later... shhh...its a secret!

6. Practice my guitar: This is a carry over from last year, I PROMISE to do better in 2013.

7. Read all of Jane Austin's novels: I watched a movie about a book club that did this, now I want to, and then watch all of the movies!

7. Wear pretty shoes: duh!

9. Celebrate EVERYTHING! - Self explanatory!

I love the feeling a New Year brings, its a perfect time to start something new! Do you have any resolutions for 2013? Did you make a Pinterest list? Share a link or list in the comments below!!!

2012: A Look Back...

A LOT has happened in the last year, on the blog and in my personal life! Over all 2012 has been a FANTASTIC Year, and I am REALLY excited to see where 2013 takes me!

I did not do a "look back" post for 2011, but I really want to do one for 2012. I want to document and share the good, the bad, and some of the ugly (okay, maybe just the good...)!!

The TOP Three 2012 Posts:

1. Barbie Doll Cakes

2. How To: Decorative Candy Wrappers

3. How To: Drink Holder Re-Do

The TOP Three Recipe Posts of 2012:

On more of a personal note (thanks to Ravi's suggestion for me to be a bit more personal...BTW if you are interested in reading a great blog about life, make up, and a cat named Nemo, check out Ravi's blog here!), I posted my 2012 New Years Resolutions, in a hope to actually try and be accountable for them... let's look back at the list and see how I've done:

1. Organize my home office - I got it REALLY organized earlier in the year, but now that I'm in the midst of moving, its not so pretty! (better luck next year!)

2. Put those Nike Shorts to work and actually work out - I started using my Xbox Kinect to work out, and I totally plan on doing a 5K next year!! -- totally counts right?

3. Keep in touch with old, and new friends - Done! Thanks to Facebook and Twitter!

4. Make good into GREAT - DONE!! Check out how I did that here.

5. Make more home-made snacks - Totally done! Check out my truly unique recipe!

6. Read More - Done, thanks to Fifty Shades of Grey!

7. Learn to play my Guitar - Not at all! So, I'll put this back on the list for next year...

8. Plan more parties - I think I did this to the best of my abilities!

9. Wear high heels more often! - Yes Ma'am! Done!

10. Start my own business - Done! Thanks to Mary Kay (...more on this in a later post!)

And lastly, a BIG thank YOU! I have made some awesome new friends though blogging this year and I'm excited to see how those friendships transform in 2013!

More details on the 2013 Resolutions to come...

Happy New Years Eve!
