Bushels of Blessings

Big sigh! Yeah I made it through, it was close though. I thought for sure I would be moved by now and wouldn't be doing the Activity Days dinner, but here I am. Really though it wasn't that bad. I decided on the theme "Bushels of Blessings" and using apples. This wasn't quite as over the top as last year but I think the girls enjoyed it as did their parents.

I did digital invitations this time instead of my handmade and they turned out pretty cute.



I also use some of my digital stuff from fabulous Kristin Aagard's "Sweet Apple" collection, for my program cover. Love her stuff!!


Centerpieces I found these great tubs at Target in their dollar section for only $2.50 and that scrapbook paper was also in the dollar section and was perfect!



For a treat for the girls I made them each a caramel apple with chocolate and sprinkles. I also found these baskets in the dollor section at Target.



Kara from "Kara's cupcakes" did these super cute cupcakes and they went perfect with my theme, thanks for the help Kara! I used them for decoration on the food table, everyone was anxious to get their hands on these.

The food wasn't anything super fabulous, ham, funeral potatoes, salad, rolls, and apple crisp for the adults.

It all went really well and everyone seemed to have a good time. I only had one hiccup, the ham wasn't warmed through when it came time to eat so I just cut off the warmed outside parts. It didn't look very pretty but no one seemed to mind.

I'm almost positive this was my last activity days dinner but you never know, maybe I'll be in activity days again when I move.

(for those who don't know what activity days are in our church girls ages 8 to 11 meet twice a month for an activity and do work towards their "Faith in God" award, if you'd like more info please visit here)

New Moon

Yes I'll admit it I am a member of team Edward. I've been looking forward to the New Moon release coming in Nov. but now that I've seen this compilation of previews I'm SUPER EXCITED to see it. I'm even going to go as far to say that I'd be willing to go to the midnight showing. Here's the link to the 6 minute preview" NEW MOON". Warning though if you haven't already read the book, it pretty much goes through the whole thing so if you don't want the ending to be spoiled don't watch. Do I have any other takers for the midnight showing, you can answer after you've watched this trailer. I think this calls for another party, what do you think ladies?

temorarily closing shop

I've decided to put my party business on hold for a while. I've got to many other things that need my time right now to give much time to the party stuff. But I do have some toppers, wrappers and banners for sale that I did up for a booth this last weekend. All are either Halloween or Christmas. Jump over to my positively perfect party blog to see pictures of what I have for sale. And some day I'll be at this again. Till then . . . . . ta ta for now.

A little change

I've made some changes on my party blog. I have so much fun changing things around it's hard to keep the same thing for very long, but I think I'll be hanging on to this one for a while. You can see a little glimps there with the new button. Do you have one? You really should, have a button I mean~ : )
