Cancelled GRill Party Not!

I was so tired that the Garden Party that I wanted to do was cancelled.  So, I called everyone but I could not get hold of my mom until two days before and when  I did she said "What? I am still coming!"  But, I cancelled I said.  She said ,  "I already did a lot of stuff for the party".  Party was back on. (We ended up having pork chops, chicharron, steak, rice, beans, guacamole...) On Saturday, the family came and had a very good grilling party.  My mom even bought me the only tomatoes and peppers that made it into the ground.  This is the first year that I don't go crazy buying plants - mostly flowers with some vegetables.  Maybe I can still buy some flowers for my empty pots...

These are the flowers that my mom bought.

My clematis that I planted 3 summers ago!  This year is doing wonderful :)

Arianna loving her swing and slide!

Thank you mom.  You are awesome :)

52 projects #20 - Wedding invitations

For this week I'd been working in my brother's invitations!  I thought that I will be done in a flash, but it is taking longer than expected... still love it.  I am trying to help them.  The invitations are actually from Martha Stewart's collection and I tried to use the "templates" that she supposedly has in the website (that came in the package), but I can't find it.  Has someone use some of her cards?  Do you know the templates that she is talking about?  I am using Word and it is taking longer.  I  have some projects that I want to do, but duty calls right now ;)

WPP #23 Tea Party!

This post brings the child on me totally :) This is the first tea set that Arianna loves.  She wants to "Tea party" all the time.  I loved (and still do) tea sets.  I used to get one tea set every year for the first 12- 14 years of my life.  Now, I wish I could had kept some of them.  But, hopefully I can keep this one for her.  After all, it is the first one!

What did you love when you were little?
