Giveaway: The Party Works

Who wants to throw a birthday party? Or a fancy-pants themed picnic? Or maybe a dinner for 8 of your closest friends? Or even a Bachelorette party?

Well, the folks at The Party Works would love to help you out!

From now until next Friday (midnight, EST), you can enter to win any Party Pack for Eight of your choice, simply by leaving a comment on this post telling me which theme is your favorite.

Maybe you know someone who is really into tractors?

Maybe you're planning for a big summer luau?

Or maybe you're just as excited for the start of football season as I am?

Whatever the occasion, this site has you covered. Each pack comes with dinner and dessert plates, plus napkins, cups, and silverware. Depending on the set, most come with some combination of balloons, crepe paper, invitations, and a table cloth, as well.

I will pick a winner at random next weekend, and contact that winner via email, so make sure you include your address in the entry.

Good luck to all!

Please note: The prize can only be shipped within the US. The party pack will be provided to the winner directly by The Party Works.

What a fun giveaway! I'd love to have a Trailblazers (go team!) set.

So if I was slightly insane for a moment, how fun would the tie dye one be for Jacob's 4th birthday party! They could make shirts to match!

The Justin Bieber one would be AWESOME. Just kidding.

I really like the Cosmic Flowers---it makes me want to have a girl get-together just because.

I would entertain the idea of the Tangled set, since Rylynne LOVES that right now.

But I would probably go with the New England Patriots (can we still be friends?!?!?) set, and surprise my husband with it on the first gameday of the season, so that he can veg on the couch in style.

Wow, so many choices!

I love the "Summer Style Standard" pack. Such a colorful, cute pattern for summer patio parties.

Hmm, so many choices, so hard to decide. I am thinking the Halloween Fun Friends one right now, since I love Halloween and am not going to be doing any shopping for it this year.

Since Madeleine's First birthday is coming up (and she has discovered a love of Mickey and Minnie), I am thinking that "Minnie's 1st Birthday is pretty darn cute!

Leave a comment, if you'd like...I'd love to hear from you!

2014 List

1) Send more mail...thank you notes, birthday cards, and 'just because' messages.

2) Be nicer, in general, to my husband and family. They deserve a much less crabby me than the one they were stuck with for most of 2013.

3) Make more of an effort to communicate with the long-distance people in my life. I got away from facetiming with my sister on a regular basis, and I miss it. Plus, now that she's making me an aunt, I think it's even more important that we get back into the habit of seeing each other every week. I do not need her new baby asking 'are you SURE you have more than one sister?', just because Aunt Mary lives in Indiana and Aunt Tara lives all of the way in Georgia.

4) Call or email or even text my friends from college more than I do now, which is hardly at all. Just because we can pick up after not talking to each other for months like no time has passed at all does not mean I should keep letting all of those months pass without the talking. I'm afraid the picking back up can't keep happening in a friendship like that.

5) Do one fitness/health related challenge each month. - You know all of those '0 to 1,000 sit-ups in just 30 days!!' kind of schedules that pop up on Pinterest all of the time? I'm going to start doing those. One each month. Fifteen minute plank? I'M COMING FOR YOU. I'm also throwing my meat-free/sugar-free/alcohol-free months in this category, as well.

6) Run another organized 5K. - It was so much more fun than I expected. Minus the running up a hill part, anyway.

7) Renew my vows with Steve, in Vegas, by Elvis, for our 10th anniversary in October.

8) Create an art wall somewhere in my house.

9) Organize a workspace for me

10) Attend The Blathering in Seattle. - Charleston was such a great time, I'd love to make it back for the Seattle trip.

11) Read at least two books a month.

12) Take Brigid camping.

13) Find a yoga studio and start taking classes regularly.

14) Write something, anything, not blog related.

15) No spending money on new clothes this year. Using gift cards and rewards points are fine, but I need to get out of the habit of spending money on new stuff, just to make myself feel better. I swear, shopping is my addiction, but the high I get from buying a new sweater probably isn't enough to justify the amount of money I spend on clothes I don't need.

16) No buying anything at all unless I absolutely need it. I have a bad habit of stocking up on things at sales (candles, lotions, make-up, beauty products), even if I have a cabinet full of the same stuff already at home. I will use the cabinet full of crap before I add more crap.

17) Be more consistent in updating my family blog, because my parents give me a hard time when I let it lag, and my personal blog, because I'm not as happy with myself when I let it lag.

18) Find a general practitioner and get a physical.

19) Post at least one picture a day on Instagram, to get myself into the habit of taking more pictures of my sweet girls, since I find entire events have passed where I've forgotten to photograph said events. Like Christmas. Sadly.

20) Get a haircut. - You can laugh at this one, if you must, but I did not get one single haircut in 2013. In fact, I haven't had a haircut since before Caitlin was born in November of 2012. I do not even know how this happens, but I know it must end. Soon. I think a Locks of Love kind of donation might be in order. My hair, it is long.

21) Make an effort to get to know the neighbors. - I tend to not get dressed/leave the house on the weekends, and this extends to not fraternizing with anyone who lives near me, because I'm afraid people will judge me for my make-up free, sweatpants clad weekend laze. I should probably get over that.

22) Write more thank you notes. - I am terrible at writing thank you notes. I should not be so terrible.

23) Buy new rugs for my new house. - The sunroom and foyer, in particular, need something fun.

24) Be more fearless in forming and maintaining relationships. - There are many times where I think of something I want to send to someone, whether it's an email, text, card, or what have you, and I don't, because I'm afraid I've maybe overestimated whether we have the type of friendship where I can do something like that. I don't want to worry about stuff like that anymore.

25) Put together an Advent/Christmas activity calendar for Brigid and Caitlin. - I did that for Brigid when I was home on maternity leave after Caitlin's birth, and it was so much fun. I didn't get the chance to do it this year, and I feel like I missed out on some part of the excitement of the season. I'm bringing it back.

26) Institute a once-a-month date night with Steve. Or date lunch, I guess, if necessary.

27) Institute a once-a-month girls' night, whether it be with my old college roommate, my SiLs, or the neighbors. I should get out of the house at least once a month with people who do not live in my house.
