Throwing it back to one of my favorite clients who loves the color green and wanted something simple to welcome her 50th in. I'm happy when my clients love what I've created for them. I create the atmosphere and you enjoy it with family and friends.

This is not a hobby.

I do enjoy what I do and have poured so much into this. I will also not let this consume me and will always remember to push pause, so I can rest.

Many times we focus on a checklist or to do list for setting up an event, but do you have a checklist to make sure you've taken back everything you've brought?

Ever got a call from the vendor or client asking "is this yours?"

Have you started cleaning up chargers or washing napkins and realize the count is off?

Cleaning up can be hectic, but so is setting up. Use a checklist to make sure you have everything. I walk with rubber bands so I can do a quick count of 8 for napkins and bundle that together, so I'm counting bundles at the end to make sure I have event. It has saved me. A client's guest had thrown two napkins in the trash. Another client's guess thought the napkins rings were something they could take and I had to retrieve it.

I'm sure you have your stories of inventory items walking away at events.

Taking my business to God in prayer. Praying for covering, for the right jobs and to be able to have my clients see a little bit of Him in me.

Bless me and anyone I come in contact with Lord. Amen.

To be fair, I purchase items I can reuse, so at some point, I will start to profit off these items and get the money I spent back...so I can purchase more items! Lol!

If you're looking for an Event Planner in the DMV..look no further. Go ahead and loom through my work and if it is what you're looking for, please DM me!

One of the most important tip for staging your home is, less is more.

Remove extra furniture, extra artwork (waddle it down to a few pieces), limited items on surface area and keep overall decor to a minimum.

Remember, you want the people coming through to envision living there and see how their furniture items would look. They can't do that if the space is too cluttered or have too much of "you" in the home.

It's Make It Mondays!

Here's the centerpiece I made for the Birthday Brunch!
