A Special DAY for a Special Girlie! Part 1

This past Saturday was Marie's Bridal shower!! I had so much fun preparing and planning for this day!  We didn't forget a single detail!  I helped Mom with the cooking and Kelle and Christina did the decorating.

A Dress with a Hint of Purple

With the help of a nice older sister and a few trips to Joanns, I was able to make my second regency dress!! Every year Kelle has made a dress for me, but I am getting quite old enough to sew my own. (I actually made one last year, but I won't mention that one because it was the "first time" dress) So, I have a really hard time picking out fabrics. They just all look so good together, that I don't know which one to pick! Thanks to Kelle, she has a very keen eye for fabrics that match you, so she stuck her hand in the wall of fabric and brought out a fabric that was hidden underneath some other bolts. It was a perfect color!! It was a light tan with white and purple flowers. I couldn't believe it!! And it was right when I was about to tell her that I don't see any that I liked, and she found one!! Yay!!  So I am kind of doing this post for my sister, because without her, I don't think I would have found any fabrics or better yet, SEWN it!

Tea For Three

I got up this morning knowing that Mom had a lot of things to do today and that I wanted to help! So I cleaned the kitchen, (with Kelle's help) set up the dining room for a tea party with our very good friend. And I did it all before Mom came downstairs! She was really surprised! I am glad I helped her get ready!

 And.....After!

Last night I made dinner for my family and I have to say that I felt like I was in a restaurant! I indeed learned from the best! My Mom!

Lilac Picking with My Sister

Me and my older sister Kelle Rose, decided to go pick lilacs at the end of our street. They are so beautiful. That is my second favorite flower. It was so fun, and I got to spend a little time with my sister. Kelle got some great snap shots! :P

 Genesis 1:11-13

 "¹¹ Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass,

 The herb that yields seed,

and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind,

  Whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.

¹² And the earth brought forth grass,

the herb that yields seed according to its kind

And the tree that yields fruit,

 whose seed is in itself according to its kind.

  And God saw that it was good.

 ¹³ So the evening and the morning were the third day."

 Then, after we came home from picking, Mom, Kelle & I arranged them all in Mason jars to put all around our house, to give it a spring feeling.

  Happy spring day!! :)
