The past few months have been a complete whirlwind, but I
have seen the Lord do amazing things through all of it. I wanted to share a few “events” or
opportunities I have had to celebrate others and how I went about it.
First off – I had the chance to host a group of college girls
(from The Master’s College, where I work) for a brunch and journal-making
day. It was so fun to pull out all of
the scrapbook paper, scraps, and embellishments, and see how each of the girls
made their journals personal...and let me tell you, these girls were
so creative. Check out these pictures:
The table was a disaster afterward...

Next – I hosted a special, romantic dinner for two for my
wonderful boyfriend. I used the
wonderful warm weather here in Southern California to my advantage, and set up
the dinner in my family’s pool house, right in front of the fireplace. We enjoyed a dinner from my favorite Lemon
Leaf Café – working all day didn’t allow me to
make a special dinner – followed by sitting in front of the fire. Take a look at these pictures:
A drink container for our delicious lemonade from Trader Joe's...
Vases used:
- Two lace covered Starbucks mocha glasses
- One multi-stemed vase from Botanik (online or in store, Summerland CA) - this is my favorite vase and they come in multiple sizes!
The completed table - pre food...
Happy Birthday!!!!!

Lastly – it was also my mom’s birthday this week, so I was
busy helping my dad plan a surprise birthday party. My favorite part of this all was making the
flower arrangement for my dad to give her.
Here are some pictures of the process:
My new favorite little workstation - an old desk in front of old cars...
Picking various flowers from all of my extras...
The finished product... (and I must say, freesias are my new favorite flower!)
Well, I hope you enjoy these pictures and get some inspiration to throw a little event yourself. Have a great weekend!
