Molly's Bridesmaid's Luncheon

We had Molly's bridemaid's luncheon at my house last Friday. It was so much fun! My aunts have always had bridesmaid's luncheons for us so we decided to carry on the tradition and do the same thing for our nieces. My aunt, Jerry Lu, who is a wedding planner was a HUGE help!! She knew everything!!! My sister, Marci, flew in from Nebraska and we got to work! Marci decided that my mantle was too bare for the shower so while we were in Hobby Lobby, I saw some cute letters that reminded me of the banner Kelly did for Harper for her birthday. I got on her blog on my iPhone and showed Marci and Sabrina the banner she had made. They thought it was so cute so we decided we'd make one. I would have NEVER done it without their wanting to. I didn't think there was any way we could get that done in a couple of hours but we did and it turned out so cute. Of course, all my sisters are super artistic (the gene TOTALLY skipped me)so that didn't hurt. :)

Here we are starting our project. Charlie Bear hung out with us all day. He was so cute. :)
Here's the finished banner and one of the tables set up (we had 3 of them). Sabrina and Hannah tied the bows on the chairs.
Close up of the banner. We didn't buy enough paper so Sabrina (my VERY artistic sister-in-law who paints like nobody's business and has illustrated an adorable book) decided to just add scalloped edges. Creative minds! :) That would have never entered my mind but look how cute!
And, a close up of the other side. This banner is now hanging above Molly's bed. :)
We added lights and little heart ornaments to the tree in the living room.
The cute cupcakes we ordered.
Molly's last name is now Bloom. Is that not the cutest name ever?! Molly Bloom! We put lemons and limes in the water. Again, NOT my idea. I had no idea how to get together a party like this together but Marci and Jerry Lu ROCK at stuff like this!
One of the tables. If you look closely you can see M&M's around the edge of the flower pot. Marci's idea. :) Cute! We also put Molly's name around the centerpiece. Mom and Sabrina tied the cute bows around the silverware. Marci bought her Pampered Chef polka dotted dishes from NE. Molly LOVES all things cute (polka dots, stripes, pinks, greens, etc.) so we tried to do really cutesy for her.
My sister, Shanny, got us these adorable aprons with our names on them for hostess gifts. Love them! Molly's my beautiful niece in the middle with the red dress on. She's glowing in love! :)
Most of the bridesmaids....Molly had 14. :) By the way, Molly is an identical twin. Her twin is Abby, who is standing next to her in the black and white dress. Aren't they adorable?!

The cute bridesmaid's gifts.
We had such a fun time at the shower. The menu was quiche, fresh fruit, banana bread, and cupcakes. We all went around the room and prayed for Molly at the end. It was really sweet. I think Molly and Logan were the most in love bride and groom I've ever seen. I'll post more pictures later of the rehearsal dinner and wedding.
Happy almost Sunday!!!
Okay, now that I have published my post, I am realizing that my pictures are being cut off on the right hand side. I have no idea how to fix this. I guess I need to make them smaller.

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
