Mad Libs Fun!

Pin It
The new trend in party games was inspired by the classic game of Mad Libs, and they are so much fun!  These themed Mad Libs games give a new (and more entertaining) alternative to classic shower games. They also give the guests a chance to personalize the game. Mad Libs are perfect for any baby shower, bridal shower or wedding guest book. You never know what your guests will come up. They can be everything from a sentimental tearjerker to completely hilarious.

Here are just a few examples of the Wedding & Bridal Shower Mad Libs I offer in the Decorable Designs Etsy Shop:

Gettin' to Bloggin'

Pin It
Hi all!

My blogging adventure has gotten off to a slow start. This year has kept me extremely busy so far and left me little free time, but I am happy to say I am able to cross off many items on my life's wish list!

Launch my event planning business A Well Dressed Party with my good friend Shonna- Check!
Become a National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association volunteer to advocate for abused and neglected children around the Gallatin Valley- Check!
Promote and Expand my Decorable Designs: Party Invitation and Decoration Printables business - Check!
Take a college class to increase my knowledge and become a better Teacher and Director at ABC KidZ- Check!


With my college class and other trainings coming to a close, I feel my life falling back into a manageable routine~with a huge sigh of relief :-)  I now have time to further promote my 2 new businesses: A Well Dressed Party & Decorable Designs, as well as spend some much needed quality time with my wonderful husband, friends and family! 


This also means more time for my blog! Make sure to check back regularly for updates on my new projects, tips and pics of wedding trends, seasonal party planning ideas & more!


To start off the week I leave you with an inspirational quote that has summed up my year so far: 

 “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” 
~Henry David Thoreau
