i know you've heard everyone say it a million times. but i really can't believe it's already december. and almost a week in! i thought i could make time slow down a bit after leaving my "day" job. but now that i actually enjoy what i'm doing every day, the hours fly by!

but that is NOT what i'm posting about today. nor anything i can change:) so moving on.

ryan and i are hosting our first annual white elephant party! i'm super excited. it's our first party with a purpose... like not just a party to eat, drink... and eat and drink.

my inspiration for this shindig is red, tan and black & white stripes.

tomorrow. the invites!

[ champagne, stationary, packages, candy, pillow, table, wreath, mini stand, ornaments, throw]
