These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

-
Some of the women from our church
got together for a FAVORITE THINGS
party.  Julie Andrews serenaded us.   
We ate our favorite cookies.
String--anyone remember the connection?
From decorative tape
to favorite lipsticks.
What would a party be without a
children's book?
Here's the string connection.
We took notes on favorite things
we thought we couldn't live without.
More favorite things.
The always favorite Koji Punch.
Why a goose?
Now you know why.
Some of the precious women who attended.
More friends.
and more favorite people
The party was Kelly's idea so she explained the
process of sharing our favorite things.
Is anyone surprised?
She is so creative.
More guests
It was so interesting hearing
about everyone's favorite things.
From ice cream to pens to coffee to
lotions to Funyons to jewelry to
omelette makers to lots and lots
of chocolate.

Everyone took home 2
items that they thought
they couldn't live without.
It was fun seeing who chose what
favorite things.

But alas, there were no
raindrops on roses or
whiskers on kittens.

Oh, well, maybe next time.

A big thank you to
photographers Kelly
and Vanessa.

It was so much fun hearing about everyone's favorites and why. I can't wait to eat my caramel apple
:-) I didn't think I was hungry for cookies so passed but those sand tarts sure look yummy! Thanks to you and Kelly for a fun time!

Love this idea! Kelly should write a party book, just like Pippa Middleton.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
