Weekend Happenings

 Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies (both human and fur baby)!  

I had a busy weekend beginning with my three hour shopping excursion looking for the items I needed in order to create the nine centerpieces that were requested by the VFW Auxiliary. I ended up going to a few different stores, but I began with our local Michael's Arts & Crafts Store. There, I found the silk flowers, the red, white, and blue reeds, the ribbons, and the small/mini flags. I did not have enough clear glass beads on hand for all of the centerpieces so I ordered a huge bag off of Ebay ...

The VFW Auxiliary also said that they loved my idea of switching up the three different ribbons I picked out ...

I could not find red or blue colored glass vases, so I bought the size I needed at The Dollar Tree. Funny little story - after spending three entire hours shopping around for all of my items, I arrived home only to DROP the bag of glass vases on the living room floor and had to run all the way back to The Dollar Tree to replace the two out of the nine that I had broken ... 😒

At any rate, I put together one of the centerpieces and sent a picture of it to the Auxiliary member who had requested them and she said that they looked good to her! So, I will finish the other eight and deliver them to her next week sometime.

Moving on, my hubby surprised me with this pretty multi-colored rose while we were out and about today. He also picked up a beautiful bouquet of Spring flowers for my MIL for Mother's Day on our way to go visit her in rehab ...
