Welcome to Curly Sue: an Amanda Condra Designs blog!
It's all in the (party) details! I enjoy the little details that make everyday life special and parties fabulous.
I'm Amanda, a Hoosier at heart with all things preppy, pretty, and Southern on my mind. I currently live in Lafayette, Indiana with my husband, Wyatt, and our cat, Maggie. I created this blog in 2010 as a way to share my life with friends and family but it soon turned into an outlet for sharing, not only my everyday life, but also things I love -- whether it is a favorite style trend, a new recipe, a tutorial for a DIY project, or a party inspiration. I also own and operate a design based Etsy shop, Amanda Condra Designs, where I create invitations, party printables, and custom designs for clients.
I am also an active member in the Junior League of Indianapolis and love every moment of it! Not only am I meeting and making connections with fantastic women, I'm also able to provide my time and talent in order to help make a difference in the Indianapolis community. I am lucky to be able to combine my creative talents with my desire to help create a positive impact. It has been such a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Click here for posts related to my membership in the League. If you ever want to chat about Junior League or think you might be interested in more information, don't hesitate to reach out to me!
Wyatt and I love to travel and explore. You can find some of our recommendations and adventures here on the blog. My favorite place in the world is Charleston, South Carolina. The Holy City just calls to my heart and it's never too soon for a return visit in my opinion. On top of traveling, we find so much joy in going to concerts. Our general mindset is that if you get the opportunity to see your favorite because they are near, take it! You never know when your favorite artists will no longer be around to go see! We also love exploring our town and finding hidden gems in others.
I'm a Lilly lover, have a passion for traveling, and love a well planned party. I love all things that allow me to use my creativity. I hope I can inspire other to do the same!
One of my favorite quotes is "the universe is made of stories, not atoms" by Muriel Rukeyser. We all have a story to tell and this is part of mine. You can follow my adventures on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Bloglovin.
