About me

Introduction	Our family is constantly on a budget, which is especially true when planning a party. I am always on the search for ways to keep costs down and undoubtedly the internet provides a plethora of sites dedicated to churning out inspiration for creative and unique party ideas. It is wonderful to hear how someones inspiration for a party's decor began with some sweet vintage fabric found at an antique market last spring. Super, I'll hop in my DeIorean and travel back in time to snap up that darling fabric! I have yet to find a site that says "TODAY, found these 97 cent plates at XYZ big box store, add these decorations and Voila! Your party decor is ready for under $10.00" or "stop your maddening search for discount Super Mario plates and napkins, only two stores carry them and they never go on sale - try this as an alternative." I'm on a mission to prove you can get everything you need from discount stores, dollar stores and the dollar bins at Walmart and Target and create some inspiration of your own - on a shoestring.
