Chris's Hangover 30

My husband Chris just turned 30 and I was thinking of throwing him a Caddyshack themed birthday party until I saw this on HWTM, a 10 year Anniversary Party. I was like are you kidding me, how stinkin cute are these two?! So I had to copy them. Only problem was, I saw this idea on Monday and his party was on that coming Saturday!! Why do I torture myself like this? I will never learn.
Anyway, I was set out to make it happen in 5 days. I hit the internet and thrift stores like a crazy person trying to find all things Hangover related. I just happen to come across 2 Ginormous stuffed tigers on craigslist, $15 for the pair. Are you kidding? Who has 2 giant stuffed tigers that are just hanging around? Well I wasn't about to ask, I gave the nice man my cash and I was on my way!
I proceeded to hit every Savers and Goodwill in the Phoenix Metro area and found so many sweet items! A few items I had to get on Amazon as well (Hangover posters, the singing Alan bobble head doll, thank goodness for PRIME huh?
A few items I made myself, the Greatest Blackjack book and I photoshopped Chris's head on Bradley Coopers body on the picture on the cake!

Here are some pictures from the party:

I'm new here....what's your excuse?

I saw this title on a onesie a few days ago and thought it was hilarious. Why was I shopping for onesies? I'm glad you asked...my best friend Nicole just had a sweet baby boy named Alex and of course I headed straight for Baby Gap and stocked up on a few items!

How rude, I should introduce myself. I'm Kelly. I am a real life corporate event planner for a technology company in Arizona. I married the love of my life, have my dream job, a sweet house across the street from a golf course and am working on starting a family.

My husband and I just moved back to Arizona about a year ago (where I grew up) from Sammamish, Washington (where he grew up). We had a pretty tough ending to our 2009 and it carried on through 2010 between family members getting sick, losing family members, not really liking our jobs or our quality of life in Washington. The one highlight was getting married in September of 2009 after 8 years of dating. Yes 8!
Besides being newlyweds, quitting our jobs in WA, renting out our condo, moving to Arizona and starting new jobs, we decided that we should buy a house to add to the madness! What can I say, we live on the edge. After looking at about 100 homes, we found the one we loved in North Phoenix. It needs just a little TLC and we have been doing little projects here and there to fancy her up! This is where my savvy planning kicks into gear.

Follow me on my crazy and entertaining adventures of thrift store makeovers, DIY projects and event planning. I will try not to steer you wrong!

Stay Savvy!
