It Is A Process: Important to add all of the ingredients in the right order-most have a location before you start thinking about decorations,
Takes Time: To have a great event must put enough time into the process, and it may take a couple of events before you remember all of the details. Don’t fret over the burnt cookies, it is a process and this is how you will learn.
