Making Center Pieces for my Awards Dinner
I have been painting pots and making my center pieces for the tables at our chapter awards dinner. I finished them all and the next thing, I have to make the buttonaires for the boys who are winning awards. I am still waiting to see if the girl will be coming or not since I will have to make her a corsage. I am saving money by making all this stuff.
I love the big red pot with the little blue, red, and white flowers. I am thinking of painting more pots this color and finding some fake geramiums for it. I recycled some of the flowers from last years centerpieces. The two big pots were from last year as well. I found the ribbon at the local craft store and I made the bows today. I have to see if I can find all of my white table cloths, I use them for craft fairs, too and some of them are really stained up. One of them has blood on it from my MIL cutting herself badly with a pair of scissors and I have to read up on how to get it out besides bleach. I have no idea if the tablecloths will melt with bleach use or not. sigh!
I am tired and my right foot has started to itch...dang! I hope it hasn't spread to that foot now, that would suck. Maybe it is an ant bite and that is bad enough but, the other is worse. :(
We are looking at going on vacation this year. We both said the beach in Texas. I think we might be headed to North Padre Island. Yay! Peace and quiet with the dogs headed to the boarders. They are going on vacation, too.
