Happy Birthday To Me!

These come around way too fast! But it's a very happy day as my husband got out of the hospital yesterday. He had back surgery Aug.10th and again on the 16th to remove a blood clot. That makes 5 surgeries in 13 months. He was moved to a transitional center for rehab.

Haven't had much time to blog lately. Getting ready for 3 craft shows. The first one is in two weeks. So I'd better get crackin'.

Hugs,

Karen

Happy Birthday Traci

Today is my older daughter's 42nd birthday. This was taken 3 years ago at her Charleston beach wedding and the scanned in pic really turned out dark. As you can see, she likes to sunbathe and I don't - at least not anymore. I heard the sun causes wrinkles! lol

Happy Birthday, Traci.

Love & Hugs,

Mom

Birthday Party Tablescape

Forgot to show my table decorated with a fall theme. I was able to fit 10 ladies around it. I kept my rooster from Carolina Pottery, and candlesticks from Hobby Lobby in place and just changed out the candles. I added the pumpkins and sprays which I already had in my stash. What you didn't see was my handpainted sunflower goblets from Tuesday Morning, and red and yellow dishes since I served buffet style.

The silver tea service on the buffet was my mothers. She bought it at an auction in NC in 1956. I also used her sterling silver flatware. She would have been 101 today. She lived to be 95 and passed away in 2003. Happy Birthday, Mom.

Birthday Party

September 23rd was my birthday, so I decided to throw myself a party - well somebody had to do it! After all, it was a pretty big one, so may as well embrace it. I wanted to make it special for my friends, so made most of the favors, bingo prizes and the decorated bags. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
