Hello friends! This past week my son Grant hit a BIG milestone. He turned the BIG 5 on Feburary 4th!
We celebrated by having a family birthday party for our little man! The theme was a mixture of Power Rangers, Transformers, and Speed Racer.
Brother and proud sister.
Cake!
Grandma also made a cake and I busted Vivian sticking her fingers in the icing. hee! hee!
Make a wish! ( I looooove this shot!)
Whoo-hoo! Big Uncle Brock stops by to watch Grant open gifts and have cake and ice cream.
Wow…who's more excited over the gifts??? Grant or Mommy? LOL!!!
Of course I was feeling very sentimental and sappy and needed a photo of me and my little 5 year old man.
It's a BUSY birthday month. Mine is in a few days, and Vivian is next week the 18th. We are planning on taking the kids to Disney! Whoo-hoo!
This past Saturday I had the wonderful invitation of joining some of my super fun crafty girlfriends for a day in Atlanta.
The lovely Rosalyn-Sue who I met and had the incredible of opportunity of getting to know at my En Le Jardin event last year decided to host a special Valentines Day Craft-In at her home.
I packed up some fun goody bags treats for the girls!
We had lunch at the historic Marietta square, and spent a few hours shopping the fabulous antique shops!
Jen Grenko, Teresa Atkinson, Suzanne MacCrone,Sherry Williams,Rosalyn-Sue,& ME!
Pretty treasures everywhere! I scored on some great finds. 😉 I'll show and tell soon!

Happy Birthday To Me party crown.
After an afternoon of shopping we headed back to Rosalyn-Sue's house to get started on our Valentine Crafts.
The day turned out being colder than we all expected and it started to sleet on us while we were shopping. Once at Rosalyn's she was sweet & kind enough to let us borrow her warm fuzzy socks to keep our tootsies warm.
You should have seen the look and expression on our faces when we first went downstairs to Rosalyn's crafting room. Oh my heavens! Sugar overload!!! She had it decorated so so pretty and truly went ALL out for us!
She had a sugar bar set up for us. Whatever we want we grab for the taking.
Her spread was beautiful. Candy, cupcakes, and gourmet macaroons that Rosalyn spent 7 hours making!!! DEEEEELISH!!!!!
Bowl of icing heart cookies.
Gorgeous cupcakes.
Rosalyn-Sue's craft room looked like it belong on the set of Martha Stewart. So bright, cheerful and happy!
She has a little spot for her adorable son Coe to hang out and play.
Needless to say we had a field day playing in her craft room.
Our project was to make decorative candy heart boxes. This is Rosalyn Sue's. Stunning!!!!
She supplied us with all the goodies and of course encouraged us to do whatever we want to make it our own style if we wish.
I really love the soft colors.
I have to thank Rosalyn-Sue for allowing me to rumage thru her INCREDIBLE millinery collection that was handed down from her great grandmother. She let me have these beautiful cream colored millinery flowers to decorate my box with.
Once finished we filled our boxes with SWEETS GALORE!!!!
We all had SOO much fun we even left 2 hours later than we originally planned. Rosalyn offered us to spend the night and if we had our overnight bags I think we would have. hee! hee! Thank you girl for the awesome fun and memories!!!!
I wont post again until early next week. I'll be a busy girl celebrating my (thirtysomething) b-day this weekend, and having a night out on the town with hubby for Valentines.
So Im sending you all BIG Valentines hugs & kisses!!!! Wishing you a day FULL of LOVE!!!!!
