Party Photos!

Happy Sunday, Shopaholics! It's been raining here for days, I'm so tired of it. According to the experts, it won't stop until at least Wednesday! This is making me very grumpy...

Thought I would share some photos from the birthday party with you! These were taken last Saturday night. We had a great time, and my sister and DH did such a great job of putting the party together in record time.

Birthday cake, by "Pollman's Bakery" in Mobile. Disclaimer: DH knows I'm a total snob about my b'day cake, and it absolutely must have a beach scene. This is what the bakery came up with "sunset on the beach"...


These strawberries were so yummy! My sister whipped up a delish cream cheese dip to accompany...and the decorations were made by the lovely Shannon at "The Preppy Ladybug" (Etsy link HERE).

How about a Strawberry Cheese Ring? These are staples at all our parties. Seriously, I think my friend Mary showed up just because she knew we'd have one. HAHA

Compare me to Britney Spears if you'd like, but I think every birthday party can use a little Chick Fil A...


Fun table, huh? We ended up with a lot more on it, party planning was difficult when a few guests showed up almost 3 hours early! No names...Anyway, Please ignore our 80's decor...it's the beach and we should probably buy a whole bunch of new furniture...DH said I have to stop shopping first. As if. :-)

Yours truly!

My hair stylist Phillip, his partner Brian, Moi and baby sister Amy. So glad the boys came to visit! And they brought me the first two seasons of "True Blood". Great friends, great times!

Me and DH - we had so much fun!

Without them, I wouldn't even be here. With Dad, Mom and Amy.

BFF Priscilla (and her DH) were also in attendance

Enough photos, even I'm tired of looking at them now. :-) But I thought you might enjoy! To everyone else that was here, I'm so sorry there are no photographs. At some point, DH took control of the camera and let's just say this....he feel down on the job!

Have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Can you send wishes for sunshine my way, please?

    We need some sunshine this way too... at least the rain doesn't make me feel too guilty for staying indoors reading blogs and magazines all afternoon. xo

    I'm jealous -- it looks like it was amazing! I'm a snob about my birthday cake/cupcakes too. They have to be summery and adorable.

Birthday Celebration: Lilly Pulitzer Giveaway from The Pink Pelican

Image
Today I will celebrate my birthday. I'm a little bit sad to report, the DH is out of town and won't be able to come home for the festivities. Not that it's a big deal or anything (not a milestone birthday or anything), but I am a LEO and y'all know it's true - Leos love their birthday. I'm no exception! Tonight I will celebrate with my sister and BFF by going out to dinner, and tomorrow with birthday cake and gifts with my parents, nephews and friends. I'm so thankful for it all, but I'm going to miss my sweetie. :-(  My friends at The Pink Pelican in Huntsville have generously offered a giveaway to commemorate the day!  Most of you know, they are one of my favorite Lilly Pulitzer Via shops and I buy lots of my Lilly from Angie and The Pelican Crew! I love knowing that I am supporting a small, female owned business. In today's economy, I think that is very important. If you are considering any purchases from the new Lilly Pulitzer Fall 2011 line

Just last week, I wore the Sheada Tunic Dress is Navy Life Preserver to a casual holiday gathering. Say "hi" to Phillip and Angie - these two ke
