It's been nearly a year since my last post *yikes* but I am determined to get back to it and on a much more frequent basis.  With yet another Mario Party Party under way there should be plenty to post about!   

I do have some really great (although at this point also old) news to share first....

I won the grand prize ($500!) for 2011's Party Tales contest over at one of my favorite party sites Coolest Kid Birthday Parties!

"Our Grand Prize $500 cash winner is Lisa from Texas who threw a joint birthday party for her two boys aged 3 and 7.  The two brothers share an obsession for Mario, hence Mom chose a "Mario Brothers Birthday" theme.  The party was thrown on a budget and everything was homemade which was a very important factor in our decision-making.  It's a "do-able" party with lots of original party planning ideas.  A lot of thought and hours of research were put into keeping with the Mario theme and Lisa (aka Professor Mario) actually invented real party games based on the virtual Mario Brothers games."

"Professor Mario" :) I love it!

You can read my Party Tales entry here or look around in the archives for more thorough info on every last detail of the party.

Stay tuned for lots more Mario Party games (and other party planning/game ideas) coming up soon.   And remember even if you're not having a Mario Party you can always change up the games to fit your own theme.

Happy Birthday Building!  ~ Lisa
