What a cute idea – I love the roll of quarters. And it’s so funny that you say you’re not Martha – I was just thinking from the dinner party post that the centerpiece looked so much like one in Martha Stewart Living! You’re totally creative. 🙂

MKoHC - It is quite a challenge, isn't it? We'll see how I do. I'm going to try my hardest to complete it!

KB - I thought about having a formal theme, but you know what... just regular everyday clothes might end up being what we do. We're all mom's, so getting all dressed up and fancy wold be just one extra thing to fret about. It would be so much fun though!

Kirsten - I LOVE your idea about the martini's. I am going to do that for sure! That's a great idea... thanks for the tip and thanks for the kind comments!

Kate - I'll be e-mailing you!

Jann- I have wanted to have this type of party for so long now. I'm sure it will be fun. Do you go to one as well?

Jody - I wish you lived closer too! It would be a blast to have all the YCDI gals close so that everyone could come :)

This sounds like so much fun. I wish I lived near you and could come! Everyone should have an acceptance speech prepared for the awards you will be giving out, of course 😉

My girlfriends do this evey year-well,almost-they are a hoot! They get all dressed up-long dresses or cocktail ones they find from 2nd hand shoppes.They throw on scads of costume jewelry-you would think they were royalty! Have fun!!

Hi Kristen,

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am SO in awe of you in MANY way...just a few years older than I am - with 3 kids and a beautiful family and more than one beautiful blog!

I literally cannot keep a houseplant alive, so I kiss and spoil my new nephew and friends kids and bask in the quiet peace of my own condo and a big glass of wine. Someday maybe..

Your party sounds fabulous! How about a make-your-own martini theme where you have glasses, ingredients and little recipe cards for everyone to get creative. Buy lots of random fun glasses at discount stores and that way you can tell each glass from the other, and everyone can take their glass and recipe cards home with them as a party favor. If not everyone drinks alcohol, it still is a great idea with juices, sodas, mixers, garnishes, etc.

To go with the theme, make bite-sized hors d'ouevres and aim to make room temperature ok recipes to cut down on prep. Make truffles a day or so ahead for a glamorous and easy dessert.

Have fun!

That is such an awesome idea, Kristen! You are really running with this entertaining goal! Neato! I will think of some neat things you can do for the Awards party. What will the dress code be??

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving such a nice comment. I hope your mom enjoys the lemon tea cake.
That’s a mighty challenge you’re taking up to try 100 tastes even without the restaurants you won’t be getting to but it should also be great fun and very expansive.
Your place cards look great – don’t be Martha, you’re doing very well being yourself.
