Gold, Black, and White

Hey Y'all this was one of my favorite parties I have made decorations for yet. Like I said in my first post I love, love, love throwing parties, for some reason it makes me uber happy. I just like getting together with people I love, and to have fun treats and cute decorations just makes it better. For this party I actually did it for a project for school. I had a lady ask me to throw/make decorations for a party she was doing for her daughter in law. Anyway this party was a baby shower, but it had to be gender neutral, so for this I sat down with the lady and her daughter in law to kind of discuss what they wanted. We talked about different gender neutral themes and colors, in the end they decided they liked the gold, black, and white best (which is great because those colors are totally in right now).

So we started looking at decorations for the party (thank you Pinterest) for inspiration. Now I am semi-creative in that way I just like to make things, so most the time I find things on pinterest and make them my own. So I will just show you an overview of the party and in the next post I will do the process of the decorations and before and after photo's of some of the decorations. However I had so much fun with this party because gold and glitter are kind of in my obsession scope right now. I made garland, cake, signs, and a banner (which I got from Wal-Mart but the chalk writing is mine).

 Here is the treat table it turned out super adorable and better than I had pictured so I would say that it was a success!! The Garland was done by me and took me forever (good things for cricket or cutting those circles by hand would have taken me way to long to be worth it!)

 Of course I had to throw one in there of someone enjoying it, and just look how cute she is!! Love it!

Here is a picture of the refreshments, which I planned and made too, but we took the old Starbucks jugs, and decorated them with washi tape, it they all had their own design and they turned out way cute!!

 The gift table, you can't see because it is far away but there was signs on the table that I made.

 Close up of the treat table and some of my decorations, I also arranged I don't have a technique for that but just kind of eye it and move things around till I like it!

The Beautiful Glowing Mother to BE!!! 

Biggest Obsession

Hey everyone my name is Lauren A Randall. I am a 22 year old married to my best friend Skyler Randall. I am originally from Burley, Idaho, which will always have my heart, but I also love Cedar City, Utah. I am a country girl, and I love being outdoors. I also don't mind being in the city occasionally especially if I can go shopping, but I hate driving in a lot of traffic, way too stressful for me. I am living my dream right now because I am in nursing school at Southern Utah University. I just recently started my 2nd semester, which apparently is the hardest I hear. However I am loving every minute of it and besides I get to give people IV's so it makes up for it...right? Anyway I am starting this blog because I put together a party for a project I had to do for school, called the EDGE project. So when I thought about it I thought it would be fun for me to just blog about the parties I throw and things I make. Let's be real about this I am obsessed with throwing parties like big time, going into party stores kind of sets me off and I go a little money crazy. Anyway don't judge too harshly on my English skills because I am NOT in anyway an English major, and everyone should be grateful about that, but I hope you enjoy my blog and just know I am not a professional at doing parties, it is just something I love to do and thought I could maybe help someone who is like me.

Here is a cute picture of my husband and I at the Cassia County Rodeo this year.
