June Watercolouring . . .
It's been a very dense June so far. When it's sunny I procrastinate ( watercolouring, drawing, sitting in a swing ) in a day time and work like a maniac at night ( sleeping is a morning activity ). I think this is my favourite month.

Something Blue - A Dinner for the Bride
I am so excited that one of my closest friends is getting ready to marry a wonderful man this month. To honor this beautiful lady and to celebrate her upcoming marriage, I decided to theme are monthly dinner in her honor. Invite: I designed a simple invitation on Photo Shop. While our dinners are often silly and fun themed, I wanted this one to be special, so I went with a very classic and simple design. I asked all the girls to wear some sort of blue shirt/dress, and I asked Kelli to wear white. Entry Decor: I used Sharpie and foam board to create a sign for the entry door counting down the days until Kelli's wedding. Hanging on the door, I pulled out my own wedding veil to drape. My veil was super long, so I had to fold it a ton at the top so it wouldn't drag on the ground. To hide the bulge, I bought some flowers to fashion into a bouquet to cover it.

The room moms in my daughter's kindergarten class sent out a list of some items and places that her teacher liked, so I started my brainstorm session there. California Pizza Kitchen was on this list, and I was totally last minute in prepping this gift, so I decided a gift card there would be easy to purchase. Here is what I came up with to go with it: Not bad huh? Just love the PIZZA my heart addition. As a teacher myself, I just want to say thank you to all the teachers out there. No matter what others might say, it is NOT an easy job. It is hard work and a truly special teacher is one who puts his/her heart and soul into each day. Happy Summer (or almost summer for me...one more week!)
