Baby Tea for Morgan!

Petit fours, chicken salad tea sandwiches, spinach mini quiche, mini blueberry muffins, danish butter cookies, and pineapple tea sandwiches. A very good friend loaned me her antique victorian tablecloths and her opalescent dessert plates from the 1940s.

Inspired by tomkatstudio! A feather boa wrapped around the chandelier, and thanks to Microsoft Publisher, some scissors, glue and ribbon, I hung these really cute monogrammed circles from pink ribbons.

...and of course, another banner...

Drea's Birthday Party

I thought I'd surprise my sister-in-law with a birthday-dinner at my house. I made a birthday banner and bought the best chocolate ganache cake from Publix. We ended the evening with some dancing in the living room! What a fun evening!

Roll Tide!

How many birthdays?

Those of you who know my daughter, know that she LOVES birthday cake. And it HAS to be "birthday" cake! So, each time we go to visit my husband's parents in Ohio, my mother-in-law bakes her a birthday cake, lights candles, and we all sing "Happy Birthday" to her. We made a trip up there for Thanksgiving, and here she is, blowing out her candles once again! It's so cute!

Cute Photo Frames!

These are so easy to make. Just buy a simple wooden craft frame and a piece of scrapbook paper. I use hot glue to attach and wrap the frame just like I'm wrapping a gift. Then you can attach an embellishment. I chose this affordable flower from the scrapbooking isle, however silk peonies are my favorite! Oh, and don't forget to trim in ribbon or rhinestones. Look for more to come soon!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

My husband and I are headed to Ohio for Thanksgiving this year to visit my in-laws. I decided last minute to host a Thanksgiving dinner at my home, on Sunday night, so that we would all have a chance to enjoy Thanksgiving together before we left on our trip. My sister, her husband, and little boy will be going with us to Ohio. I can't wait for them to see that part of the country!


A banner I made for Thanksgiving dinner. I think it turned out really cute!

Will's 3rd Birthday!

My nephew turned three years old in November. My sister let him choose his own theme and he wanted FIRETRUCKS! Wasn't it adorable?

The kids had so much fun in this firetruck wind tunnel!
