The Holiday Season is Upon Us!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is two weeks away? I promised I would be consistent in my blog posting this year and like a few other New Year's resolutions....I have fallen short, but there is still time to redeem myself! I am officially in BLOG mode.
I love to entertain and create new looks for each gathering. That is going to be the premise of the blog moving forward. You will see me out shopping for events, gathering items for personal and client celebrations and events. You will also get to know me better. Learn about my favorite things and how I handle the stress of producing successful events. As my oldest son would say,"Never let them see you sweat!" But when you love what you do, it's never work......It's fun mixed with passion which equals making others smile and enjoy the moment. That's destiny! Isn't that what life is all about? Giving back and helping others. Let's do some great things this Thanksgiving Season!
Enjoy the day. I look forward to seeing more of you!

It's Been a While!

I think about blogging all the time........subject matters, pictures to upload and acquiring an audience that will desire to follow what I have to say on a daily bases....., but you have to do it "Blog" on a consistent bases in order to achieve that. Just like my "New Years Resolutions" (I set a few every year averaging one out of four!), but the objective for success is to be consistent. Now that we are officially half way through the year I have decided to pickup my goal book and focus on those dreams that I want to achieve by the end of the year.

All that being said, Look for me to blog on a regular bases and introduce you to Jennifer Jackson, my family and my great company, Jennifer's Event Management Company!

Until next time,
Jennifer

Social Networking...Are you in?

It's 12:13 pm. I've been on the computer since 8 am updating my Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin pages. I'm trying to come up with a system to keep up and stay in the know! All I wanted to do was, login in, update, read new post and get out, but that system is not working. The whole social networking world is a job in itself. New people are trying to connect to you, you want to connect with them and by the time you're done, it's lunch time and you haven't even looked at your current "To Do List"!

So what's a girl to do? I decided to give myself a time limit. Thirty minutes a day, before 9 am or after 9 pm! Will it work? I'm already putting myself out of Twitter world with those hours. I'll keep you posted.

Refreshed, Revived and Ready for 2009

As an event professional, you're always the one making sure all guest needs are met, confirming the rentals count hours before delivery and making sure the desserts are plenty! But every year there is an event for event professionals designed to spark your creativity, allows you to mingle among friends, make new ones and most important of all, enjoy the party. It's called The Special Event(TSE)!

TSE has been a vital asset to my business since my personal introduction in 2004. It brings together the best of the best from around the world in the event planning arena. This year I had the opportunity to participate in the table top competition (this is one of my favorite things to do!), and boy did I have a ball.

If there were a People's Choice Award for this competition my team would have won! Here are some pictures below!
