can I just say thank you?
/
I was so thrilled to be asked to be a part of this year's Cause for Paws committee- a yearly luncheon put on to benefit the Nashville Humane Society. I have had 'volunteer more' on my to-do list for a long time, so I jumped at the opportunity. But then I found out what I would be doing... asking for donations. For me- you might as well be asking me to fly around the country (hate flying) or give a speech in public (terrifying)- so the thought of backing out of the commitment definitely crossed my mind more then once. The thought of those dear animals, however- kept me going- particularly this year when so many pets are being abandoned due to economic circumstances. This isn't exactly an ideal year to ask for help- and while I definitely got more then a handful of no's, I was overwhelmed and so appreciative of all the yes' I did receive!
I really can't thank these generous people more then enough...

classic circus party, take 2

The circus party seems to be the theme du jour. Check out Arnelle's circus party... it is full of treats to delight the eye. All the details here.I'm off for an early weekend to celebrate my 33rd, help host a good friend's baby shower, and head off for a mini-trip to Atlanta!
scarlet's circus birthday party
/
This very clever circus party came to me via Jaime, thrown to honor her adorable daughter's first birthday. So many fun details to gobble up, including the invitation... which shouldn't be missed! Her sweet daughter was born on April Fool's Day, and so of course- the invitation was in the guise of an IRS audit letter (see it here). Even better were the responses she received! But now back to the party... check out the popcorn machine, the oh-so-lovely cake and cookies, and all the scrumptious colors. Lots more here.
