All opinions are mine alone. #BestSummerBBQ #CollectiveBias Summer is in full swing at my house and so are the Barbeques on the deck.

I like to put a little more effort into a barbeque when guests are attending so I like to shop at Sam’s Club to Find the best selection of meats, marinades, side dishes and tasty summer…

How Sweet it is sign
As you know I was commissioned by a good friend to help with her daughter’s wedding. I created this Family name bracket board sign for the lovely couple. I was also given the assignment of making a sign that said “HOW SWEET IT IS” They wanted the sign to be used as a backdrop for the sweets bar that would be served at the reception. I took on the task of making this large fun sign. I have a large mirror in the formal living room of my home, many years ago I created a vintage frame for this mirror. I knew I would be able to remove the frame…

While I started cooking up the Jello glazed popcorn, Avry started folding and assembling the boxes. The packaging for this little party favors is actually quite simple. We hot glued a sheer orange ribbon around the center of the box and then hot glued a copy of our cute tag in the center of the box. Simple right! We filled clear cellophane bags with the orange, lime and berry glazed popcorn mixture…

This year’s annual ladies only Halloween party was yet another success! Although, I do have to say there was a HUGE twist in this year’s party that had everyone intrigued, nervous, and skeptical. Let me say first off I had NO part in this twist in the party so it made it even more…

Wizard of OZ themed Church gathering
Many years ago I was on a committee for our church and every month we had to come up with gatherings for our ladies. Of course Krystal and I have always been a duo of creativity so of course she was right there along with me in planning this. We had the theme of visiting teaching and to those readers of mine who are not part of my religion I will describe to you what a visiting teacher is. I am a visiting teacher and I have two ladies in my church that I am assigned to go and visit once a month. Every woman member has at least two…

Rocket Party ” Daddy & Daughter Date”
I help with a youth group here in my area, a few times a month we have different activities for elementary age girls to participate in. About every 6 months we do a larger activity or party and we usually try to involve the parents. We knew that we wanted to have some kind of dad and daughter activity this time. We searched pinterest high and low and couldn’t really find anything that we knew the dads and daughters would really enjoy. After I had done a few Google searches I finally came across this great idea for a rocket party. I knew we could take the idea and make…
