The Winner Is.....Kate!

Hi Guys...I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful "Party/Event Planning Tips"...you guys are amazing!!!!  The winner of  Maria McBride's Party Basics for New Nesters is Kate...This is what Kate had to say...."My tip is always ALWAYS have help. If you're throwing a party at home and you can afford it, get your house professionally cleaned. It's a HUGE weight off your shoulders and you can spend that time doing other things for the party. Also, invite a good, hopefully handy, friend over about 30-45 minutes early to finish up all the little things that are going on while you get dressed, etc. It's a lifesaver"! 

Congrats Kate...you are going to love "New Nesters"!  Please email me at janie @ jmflora dot com with your mailing information.  Thanks again everyone....TBC will have another great giveaway soon!
