Tablescapes






I have not been involved with the Ladies Auxiliary Hannah Home Shelby, in several years. Recently a request for more designers for tables came in, so I said ok..... I had only a few weeks to decide on a theme, and shop. There were 40 tables and I can truly say , each year it gets better and better! There are so many creative ladies that also have a heart to serve God, and help provide a safe home for abused women and children. We raised the funds for the home to be built in 2005/2006, and now our efforts support the daily opperations and expenses. Sister Shubert was our guest speaker. Including the silent auction, we raised over 21,000.00.

Cake Pop Crazy




My new challenge of perfecting Cake Pops has been a good distraction for me now . Even after 3 weeks without Daisy, my heart still hurts and I constantly think about all of the LITTLE things , like greeting us at the door, happily, and as if we were the greatest people on earth. So, Brooke opened my eyes and interest to creating Cake Pops! These cute little bites of cake, encased with tinted white chocolate, and perched atop a lollipop stick and decorated to match any occasion, have had me in the Test Kitchen into the wee hours of the night......But being a night owl as I am , It's been okay! My first batch caused me to use more 4 letter words than I believe there actually are.......I made up a few that sounded appropriate for the disasters that were happening. But after a few batches I began to see a new addition to my catering business. Our dear friends were celebrating a first birthday for their sweet baby Nate.

Bye Bye Our Sweet Daisy


We were sad to loose our precious Daisy at only 8 yrs old. She will be missed by everyone in our family, especially Bella. She seems lost without her. Thank you Lord for the time we DID have.

Doobie Brothers in Destin July 2010

We hit the Doobie Brothers Concert on the beach . After the BP oil spill, lots of benefit concerts are being held. We were in Destin for two weeks to celebrate the fourth of July, so we decided to check it out! Felt like 1976 all over again! We have become addicted to beach bum life.
