I've been rather busy these days, but enjoying every moment of making decorations and preparations for two special events - a surprise birthday party and a ladies fellowship night at church.
Here are some of the decorations I made for a friend's surprise 60th birthday party May 4. She has been a guest for tea at my house, so I knew she would love the cups and flowers. Louise and I played in the junior high band in our earlier days, and now I am blessed to have her part of our family, as my daughter's mother-in-law.

A surprise wasn't as easy as you might think. My daughter and son-in-law live within a stone's throw through the woods from Louise and Chuck, so getting all the cars on the road and behind the house, without leaves on the trees yet, wasn't something they could hide. And four little voices under the age of 9 might have been the biggest challenge. "Gramma, Mom's making rolls for something, but I can't tell you what." Later she told us she didn't understand what was said, and didn't question it. Even when she saw all the cars, and recognized them, she claims she didn't know it was for her.
You are special - happy birthday!
May 7 was our Ladies Fellowship Night at my church.
“Love bears all
things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things,
love never fails.”
My crafty friend, Suzy helped me cut out the paper doilies, and with the many other helpful and generous hands, we shared an evening of fellowship, focused on "Love Bears All Things," from 1 Corinthians 13:7. Here are some of the decorations.
