Day 14 - My sister's babyshower

In June, my sister sent me a facebook message asking me to organize her baby shower. She ''joked''? about how I might as well quit my job now and devote all of my attention to her and her upcoming festivities. (She was only half serious ;)) I've always love organizing dinner parties, especially in the past couple of years, when I've made it a point to get people together and (hopefully) the perfect gift to put smiles on faces for my friends' and family's birthdays. I even thought of going into event-planning. But this time... this time! I found myself with heart palpitations when it was time to pick material for the invites. I made them and then re-made them. I set up a photoshoot for the parents-to-be for a possible slide-show or simply for memories. (I ended up getting two of the pictures put on canvas as a gift for them to keep.) Before the big day, I had every day of the week planned and when one day was ruined, everything was pushed down and this left me with one hour of sleep before the big day, running back and forth all night. Everything turned out great, and I've learned from my first experience at ''officially'' organizing an event. I believe that the love I have in my heart for the people I organize for really helps and had made things easier in the past. But regardless of all the love, stress really got to me this time, although everything came together as it should have in the end. Maybe there's an event planning course in my future... Only time will tell ;)
