Party Planning ... I Learned From the Best!

I think I take after my mother. I love to plan parties.

My most recent party was a "Fall Harvest" party for the families of my mom's group. Not to brag, but I outdid myself on this one .... About 25 families came. It was at a local farm; we had hayrides, cow milking, and duck feeding. Each family made their own scarecrow. We made our own caramel apples. We painted pumpkins. And, each kid made a pumpkin fleece hat. The hats were my last minute brainstorm and I stayed up until 2am the night before sewing them together so the kids could decorate them. They were a hit.

Oh, and the best part, I did the whole party for just under $100. With a little creativity and some hard work, you really can have a great party for cheap.
