Party To-Do List – Day 3

So, if you’ve been following along, you’ll notice that my to-do list is getting more detailed.  That’s because I forgot what a pain in the patootie most of these projects are.  There are a million little steps and I HATE PAINTING.  Can I say it again?  I HATE painting.  But, I am determined to get this done!
