... little did I know that in the next 12 months my life would start to take a new and exciting path.
I am well known in my family for spending hours and hours, and many months in advance of my children's birthdays, trawling the internet for unique finds and ideas for their birthday parties. Tara's 3rd birthday was no exception, and at the end of a glorious day spent celebrating with family in our backyard - aka The Garden of Pinkalicious Delights - it was once again suggested that I should start my own party business.
I graciously accepted my family's compliments, but honestly found the whole idea of starting a business too big and overwhelming. It wasn't until late October 2010, when my ever supportive husband once again suggested the idea that I began to think seriously about it. I won't bore you with the rest of the details, but it all kind of snowballed from there. Using my knowledge of party supplies and my husband's computer savy, over the next 7 months { P } is for Party slowly came to life - launching on 13 May 2011. Yes, Friday the 13th!
It has been wonderful to watch the business grow over the past few months, and I have to say I am still recovering from the excitement of seeing some of our products featured in Shop4KIDS magazine less than 3 months after we had launched. I remember thumbing through the party section of Shop4KIDS late last year and nudging my husband and saying "Wouldn't it be exciting if one day { P } is for Party was in here" - dreams really do come true!!
And now, this morning, I'm still getting over the shock of finding so many of our party goodies included in the Party Special Issue of Alphabet Street's Min-Mag.

So, I wonder where I will find myself in 12 months time?
