OK, OK...so my son's 19th b-day party was in May. It's now July and I'm just getting around to posting the pics. You can see how I prepared for this party in part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5.
I started off by making bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers. Nothing fancy. I just split them in half and clean out the seeds. I then made the filling for them. I used shredded cheddar cheese and mixed it with cream cheese. I filled the jalapenos with the mixture and wrapped them with the ba...

OK...so the outdoor birthday party was almost a month ago and I still haven't gotten around to posting everything I did in preparation for it. I never got around to hanging the drop cloth drapes but I did get around to painting the wicker furniture... and here it is! I will get to posting the actual party within the next couple of days.

This next step I modified...mainly because I ran out of time. Instead of getting drop cloths and making cute tablecloths, I purchased $4.00 twin flat sheets at Wal-Mart and called it a day.

An extra long table.

I just love Bridal Showers. I attended my niece's on Saturday...they're a new beginning for a young woman. She imagines herself using the new appliances, linens and housewares in her new home.

She imagines having her parents and in laws over for the holidays while sitting down to that perfectly done turkey in her new roaster... We were all that young woman at one time or another. And we all stopped imagining these pe...
