Our Royal Day!

-
Well, we have survived our Royal Wedding Party, and I am so excited to share some photos of our tea with you! I am so glad the girls were on spring break this week - they have had lots of adventures all week long, but I have to believe that today's Royal Wedding party was truly the highlight of it all. The girls had such fun . . . and me? I really felt like royalty. I think we did a fantastic job celebrating the new bride and groom, and I think the wedding was just spectacular.

Here are a few snapshots of our Royal Wedding celebration. We started by hanging the Great Britain flags that we colored, and the chains of red, white and blue, all throughout the family room.


We even colored some of the flags and taped them on skewers I found in our kitchen drawers . . . just perfect for cheering as we watched the procession route! I cleaned up some of our china dishes and we set the table - all ready for our tea.

Some delicious cranberry orange scones really fit the mood, and I remembered these really cool princess toothpicks were given to the girls a couple of years ago - luckily they were in a cabinet in our kitchen. Just perfect for our party, don't you think? 

 We dressed in pretty party dresses and wore lots of jewels . . . nothing is too good for our princesses!
 Ella really got into the whole thing, and insisted on calling me "Mother" in her very best English accent. And Katie loved pointing her pinkie as she drank her tea. I think our table looks just beautiful, don't you?


Lady Katherine, me (the Queen Mum), and Princess Ella . . .

Finally, it was time to watch the ceremony . . . I think we had the best view in the house!

 And of course . . . the reason for our gathering . . . .
They are so gorgeous, don't you think?

We had such a lovely time this morning . . . and I know this is a day the girls will remember for a long long time. That is, until the next Royal Wedding.

I hope you had a lovely day, as well! Thinking of you all, and off to have some more fun! Not sure what to do after this, though . . . it will be hard to top it, don't you think?

You know, even if you're not a royal, life is still pretty wonderful.

    I thought about you ALl DAY!! Seriously!! I don't get into the whole Royal Wedding thing but I was sooo happy for you and the girls. And since today was spent in the hospital doing two more tests...it was fun imagining what you all were up to. I think this was so inventive and what a darling memory for your girls. They will never forget it!!!

    What a sweet heart you are!!!

    What a great idea to share the wedding in this way and have a tea party. I love it. I didn't watch the wedding, but caught the highlights. The dress was breathtaking.

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it.

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies? Fir
