Dave's Surprise Birthday Party!

 A glimpse of my cornucopia and the wine glasses. The glasses have leaves embossed on them.

I made the cornucopia.

Some of the food. We also had meatballs and rolls, wings, and macaroni and cheese in the kitchen and I didn't get any pics of that. The food was YUMMY!!!

 These are lebanon bologna triangles. Next to them is hot wings dip!

 The plates.

Greek dip and Scoops.

The shrimp went fast!

The youngest guest! Dave's nephew Braylon!!!!!! He was SOOOOO good, loved seeing everyone, smiled all over and fell asleep! Not a peep out of him!

Dave and Braylon.
The cake. It was delicious.

Tracy and Dave. We were singing Happy Birthday!!!

Some of Tracy's girlfriends.

We hosted a surprise birthday party for our new son-in-law last night. I only got a few pictures, cause I was BUSY and also having fun! It was a great night!!!

6 Layer Greek Dip!

I forgot to take a picture of the first layer. It is cream cheese and chives,you spread that on the bottom of the pie plate. This next layer is hummus. I LOVE the Sabra brand.

 Next layer is diced cucumber

 I suggest when you are getting ready for a party you sip some nice, WRM, spiced apple wine:):)

 Next layer is sliced grape tomatoes.

 Then a small can of sliced black olives

 And top it off with crumbled feta cheese. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!! Oh and please ignore the mess arojnd the dip:):)

Here is just one of the things I am making for the (SHHHH) SURPRISE birthday party we are having tomorrow night for our new son-in-law!!!! It is a real crowd pleaser and usually goes FAST!!!! I serve it with Scoops. It is so easy but YUMMY!

Decorating a clients house for Christmas!

 Here is the corner of their sunroom where the tree goes.

 The top is one a several rows of branches....yes, this is a tree that EVERY branch has to be added, one at a time.... OY!!!!

 We put the lights on as wew ent, makes it easier to reach....I am SHORT people:):)

 All lights are on and some ornaments.

 Now some more ornaments are on....

 The tree is done, want to see some close ups?

 There are silk roses, they are creamy with a blush pink center.

 Beautiful pearl hearts.

 Pretty little packages.

 Sorry, this came out blurry and I DID have macro on????

 There are some burgundy color leaf vines, pale pink balls, gold balls, the packages, some pretty drum ornaments, burgundy balls, pink bows and pink with gold bows.

 Here is the stairway as you enter the house.

 Here we go, up the stairs.

 It goes all the way around!

Nice BIG double bows at the bottom of the stairway!

Today I did a clients house for Christmas, her grandchildren are coming for Thanksgiving so she wanted it all finished! So we got it all done. For some reason this year it took alot longer than past years.... MY AGE, perhaps???:):):) Anyway, it all came out very pretty. I took this job over from someone else a few years ago and would LOOOOVE to add to the railing especially. I also told them today that they need a new tree, this one is starting to fall apart! So, we'll see. I hope you enjoy seeing this.
