From Kansas to OZ...

The creative challenge at church is to be creative without spending

any money....isn't it amazing what you can do?

And how long it takes you to move your stuff back

into your house afterwards...

FINALLY....THE ROYAL BALL

Here are some pictures of the big event....DEFINITELY ONE OF MY MOST FUN PROJECTS EVER! Brooke and I had such a blast doing it. I really can't post pictures of the kids without parental permission...but I wish you could see the pictures of them all dressed up with the princesses and the court jester.....SO CUTE! In no particular order:

SUMMER LOVE

This was all about these two and their love for the beach and lazy summer days. Teal and yellow, candy bar, white lanterns in all the trees, sumptuous food with Italian lemonade bar. The send off was spectacular with sparklers and big-time fireworks...

A FORTUNATE MEETING OF HEARTS

Ceremony by the pond, popsicle cart, brightly colored fans, parasols, and chopsticks, Asian cuisine, candy bar with Gramma's homemade candy taken home in decorative take-out containers....and of course, personalized Fortune Cookies.

THE PERFECT PAIR

This was a really great theme for a Groom's Dinner...Pear jelly beans, pear salad and carmelized pear tarts for dessert...pear candles at each place setting as a favor, pear salt and pepper shakers, etc...etc...Fun.
