This may be the hardest entry EVER!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>I have officially closed shop. (heart breaking)</div><div>Yup, Little Shindigs is no more.<br />
<br />
As much as I have tried to juggle everything, <a href="http://www.childrenspartynetwork.com/">CPN</a>, and T<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/knockknocks?ref=seller_info">he Knock-Knock Factory</a> have finally trumped Little Shindigs.<br />
<br />
I tried so hard to make it work but considering I haven't blogged since we announced the Fiesta we hosted for CPN, I doubt anyone would believe me.<br />
<br />
I will be dedicating all my efforts to my etsy shop- <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/knockknocks?ref=seller_info">The Knock-Knock Factory</a> and to growing <a href="http://www.childrenspartynetwork.com/">CPN.</a> I have every intention of blogging again (someday) in a different capacity and will be back to let you know when that happens. I will keep the blog open bc I cant bare to see it REALLY go away, hope you will understand. (sobbing)<br />
<br />
If you would like to stay in touch...you can follow me <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Knock-Knock-Factory/115895485172979?sk=wall">here</a>. Hope you will.<br />

On a side note..... Little Shindigs (event planning) is going on a bit of a hiatus. Just for a short while.<br />
I want to give <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/knockknocks?ref=seller_info"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;">The Knock-Knock Factory</span></a> and <a href="http://www.childrenspartynetwork.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">CPN</span></a> a little more Natalie time and I HAVE to start squeezing in some sleep too!<br />
<br />
The blog will remain "little shindigs". Yes, the same great wit and quirky style with the <b>sporadic</b> blog entries that you have so sweetly become accustom to.<br />
<br />
Gotta keep it REAL folks. I love the this blog, the fab party industry and creative peeps I get to rub virtual elbows with and most of all YOU, for reading this random party blog. I do think it's about to get more interesting though....hope you will stick around to see it.

Yes, it's a donkey. I couldn't resist. This is the bulletin board for my work space. I know it is little wacky but I think that is why I like it so much. She was a dollar store find. All she needed was some pretty ribbons and accessories. I am now in search of that old party game "pin the nose on the clown" maybe I can turn it into a calender?Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09482932088816675161noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153190806420899154.post-72753533870560610842011-03-01T22:03:00.000-08:002011-03-01T22:13:23.319-08:00Part Salvadorean<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3532/4005634410_2f72534efb_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" l6="true" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3532/4005634410_2f72534efb_o.jpg" width="320" /></a>Not me.

I think so.<br />
<br />
Now I know, I may loose a few of you here for the following statement but I completely stand by it. Copa Cabana is the best song. ever. written.<br />
Yeah...I said it. I LOVE this song.<br />
I still remember being a kid and hearing it blasted on the radio. I wasn't listsenng to the lyrics at the time but I thought it was awesome. I think Barry is fab for rocking it all these years and every time I hear it I think I really do need to find myself a huge feather and sequence head dress someday.<br />
<br />
If you can stand it (I know not everyone is in to the arts) PLEASE watch the video to the end. You gotta see Barrys dancing moves. I use to practice those same dancing moves with my cousins......but thats another post.<br />

Looking forward to Wabbit Season? I know I am! I love, LOVE glittery eggs and grass in pretty pastel colors. This Easter will be grand with an egg hunt almost as big as Mr.Hip Hop here. Almost. <br />
