Thanksgiving Table

My girls and I had fun yesterday creating a lovely table for our Thanksgiving feast.  I am happy to report that Miss Lucy didn't touch a thing and she just kept saying pretty Momma....pretty.  Now, that is what I call a girl after my own heart.  My older girls enjoyed drinking their milk in crystal glasses and they acted like the lovely ladies.  I hope you all had a nice day and the activity doesn't stop around here, Lucy is two today.  Gosh, I can't believe she is two already....my how the time has flown by.

 
 
 

I am off to wrap Lucy's presents for the big birthday celebration tonight. 

Silver Bella Market

 

Here are some of the goodies that I bought when I was at the Bella Market as well as some new treasures from the Rusty Chandelier {antique shop on the way to Omaha}.

 
 

 
 

 
 
 
 

My favorite item.....My daughter packed this in my bag so I could create something with a few of her trinkets that she packed me....very sweet!

 
I bought my two older girls these matching hats & scarves....well, Lucy was not happy that I didn't buy one for her so she snatched her sissy's.  She would not take that hat off for anything and anytime the girls put them on, she is NOT happy because she thinks it is hers.  Funny!

 

{P.S.  This is what Lucy looks like when she poses for a photo...I don't have many photos with her eyes open.  She is trying so hard to smile for the camera.  Too cute}

 

Silver Bella ~ Part 4

 

At Silver Bella, I participated in a private with with these wonderful girls....Suzanne, Amy, Karla, Carol & Danielle.  I am sure by now, you have seen these on their blogs but I wanted to share anyway.  Here is Suzanne's banner she made.

Silver Bella ~ Part 2

  
 

In this post I thought I would share all of the photos from the class projects, wonderful filled cases jammed packed with the most amazing supplies and of course more fabulous Bellas.  {Sorry.... I am not linking photos to the blog owners but it would take me forever if I did that.}  I am still in haze after coming back from Silver Bella, I feel like I am already behind the eight ball in terms of getting ready for Christmas.  I wish I could have a couple of days at home to just unwind from such a whirl wind experience.  Now back to Silver Bella, I really love each one of my classes and I think my favorite was the Tea Cup Fairy {pictured above} and Oh Tanenbaum {Christmas Tree pictured below}.  I really did like all of them and meeting Sally Jean was the best ever....she is wonderful creative soul.  The one thing that I will remember about her is, she kept on saying "you will love and embrace your creation, flaws in all."  Love that piece of advice.  Well, I have never soldered before and my first class was a bit hard and I have to say, I am not sure I enjoyed actually making it.  I had no clue on how to tape!  The second Sally Jean class was much better for me {maybe because I kept bugging and pleading with her to use my piece to show the class on how to solder, she agreed and I only had to solder the top piece.}  I am happy to say that I taped much better and I just need to give it a few more tries and I am sure I will be a pro in no time!  My roommate Mendy helped me with all of my soldering questions, which I had many!  Beth Quinn and Kerry Lynn Yeary's classes were awesome and they were so kind and patient.  If I lived closer to the both of them, I know we would be friends.  I just cliqued with them...gees, I hope they think the same about me? 

 
  
 
  
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
   
   
 

  

 
 
 

Silver Bella ~ Part 1

So, I am back from Silver Bella and I had a fabulous time.  Gees, back to reality and I am so tired.  I am still putting away my supplies, purchases and gifts....there is glitter everywhere in my house.   I have so many photos so I thought I would just post photos of the lovely Bellas for this post.  I will post photos of the projects, hats and my purchases from the market in my next post.  It was so nice to be surrounded by women who just get you and you don't have to explain yourself.  I wish I had that type of network of girls that lived by me.  Sure, I can email or call my Bella firends but it is not like having them right around the corner to be able to hang out with on a moments notice.  You know what I mean? 

   
 
 
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 

Off to Silver Bella this week

 

 

I am headed to Omaha this week to attend Silver Bella!  I am looking forward to catching up with old friends and making some new ones.  I will fill you in on all of the festivities when I get back.  Have a great week and I will take a ton of photos to share with you all.

 

Pretty little details

The other day I was going through my supplies to get ready for Silver Bella and I came across these....I completely forgot I bought them a long time ago and now I need to make sure I use them in some way in the near future.  Shame on me for forgetting about them....I really hate when I do that.   {I will never ever admit to my husband for buying something and forgetting about it, but I know you girls would totally understand}
