WE LOVE THE U.S.A.

WE LOVE THE U.S.A.

These sailboats were made by just using a skewer on the sail anchored down in a circle of Plaster of Paris.  We bought the cute red and white stripe trays at Hobby Lobby.

We love to send our guests home with a favor, usually it is Chocolate so it was fun to do something different.  (Unless you are like me and LOVE only Chocolate)

WE CHERRY-ISH YOU

We do Cherry-ish our Senior Lunch Bunch!

It was fun to have such a bright happy theme.

 To make the Cherries for the Centerpieces we just used red balloons,  paper twist and paper leaves.

We did have to Glue the Cherries to a clear plastic so they would stand up.  We found our inspiration for the cherries here  

We made the cute cherry napkin rings from Candy Cherries, wire and twine. We were inspired by the idea here 

And...Everything is more cute with these cute red check tablecloths!

The Balloon Cherries even looked cute hanging on the wall!!

We can always have “S’MORE” fun!!

S’mores have been so popular the last few years, and who doesn’t love a roasted marshmallow, with melted chocolate on a graham?    We just made a fake fire with tissue paper adding in a package of marshmallows and a roasting stick.   It is always fun to have a “give away” on the table for one lucky person to take home.

We can’t always do a favor for them, but the months we can it’s so fun.  This month we sent them home with S’more to pop in the microwave and enjoy!!

Seniors Just want to have “Sun”

June brings on the hot weather so bring on the sun and the beach!!

Nothing too unique, but we thought the napkin rings were fun.  A few of the guests ask to take some home so they could use them at family reunions!!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

This was such a fun theme!!  America’s favorite Pastime!!

We used our squares of grass again and added the mitt, ball and popcorn.  

We had “Babe Ruth” candy bars to snack on completed with a “Hawker”  handing out ice cream sandwiches and Cracker Jacks!!

If life hands you Lemons…

This was a bright, happy theme.   Lemonade, old-fashioned lemon drops, real lemons…  

This was fun to do more decorating than usual.

My daughter made this cute printable for the frames found here:

"You're One in a MELON" Centerpieces

Guest Post from Doris!

Nothing says summer like Watermelons

We turned a red sand pail from the Dollar store into a Watermelon  for this centerpiece.

With just a little cutting and gluing the place mats took on a watermelon look.

This was just a very inexpensive, simple theme.
