Lucky Me: St. Patrick's Murder Mystery!

We had a St. Patrick's Party with my family yesterday. It was also the day we picked to celebrate the four ladies that have birthday's in March and April. So Happy Birthday Carrilyne, Madison, Holly and Adrienne! Holly has been wanting to do a murder "who done it" mystery party for a very long time. She decided this would be the event. She put in so much work and it turned out so fun! I'll have to figure out how to include the guest list with some of the characters becuase she wrote such fun things that in some cases, not all, hinted at the person's likes and personalities. With kiddos involved it was not a murder, but a theft! The precious Deidre Yellow Diamond was stolen! It was a hoot!

Who was I: Ms. Finch, Head Housekeeper
Who was He: Mr. Finch, Butler
Guilty: We were innocent! Despite accusations!

Everyone played parts and the evening was a success. Almost all of us had never participated in a murder mystery dinner and it went so well. Dinner was also amazing thanks to Lord and Lady Rockwell (Dad & Mom). With the Help of my nieces Ms. Libby and Ms. Ellie, fellow maids, we served the first course salad-yum!, Then "Irish stew" and "Irish Soda Bread" With a Key Lime Cheesecake for dessert. Lucky us to have such a beautiful meal, celebrate some birthday ladies, and have such wonderful company. 
Holly made these fantastic paper banners for the chandelier at the Manor. Every room had a hanging banner with it's name i.e The Lounge, The Parlor, The Library...where the jewelry theft occurred
 The Staff: The Butler and the Head Housekeeper, see that flour...a Clue!
 Above: The Gathered clues  Below: The Diamond found, Shelley the Duchess the thief!
Below is the rough draft of the guest list everyone got in envelopes with their personal information for "Their Eyes Only"!

 Such a fun night! Thanks Holly and Dad and Mom for such a great night and St. Patty's!
