Welcome to the CELEBRATE hub on The Purple Pumpkin Blog!
Life is for celebrating and creating memories with family and friends!
My family knows that if there is an excuse to celebrate or have a get-together, they can count on me to plan something or have a party ready to go at a moment’s notice!
I have always had a passion for planning parties… From our wedding in 2009 for 150 guests to a birthday party for my son to a barbecue with family. It doesn’t matter how big or how small the event is, I’ll plan it and theme it and make it as memorable as I can!
