She lived in a different town and only wanted a family party. I loaded up all of my "pretties" (china, silver, etc.) and we did it up right! Hope your mother has a wonderful birthday!!!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951014703880304321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567636838481567047.post-77866342473094986432012-03-07T11:56:27.930-06:002012-03-07T11:56:27.930-06:00It's wonderful that you're doing this for ...It's wonderful that you're doing this for your mother 80th.

I am trying to figure out how to do these projects in the easiest way possible. I think the notecards are do-able. I will see about picking out some pictures that are examples of different periods of my mom's life and using those for multiiple projects.<br /><br />Btw, LOVE your blog. <br /><br />EldaroseReba and Eldarose, sisters, friends and co-bloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771256715867574656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567636838481567047.post-55554728017607703442012-03-06T09:58:42.628-06:002012-03-06T09:58:42.628-06:00Sonia,

Nothing beats hearing a review from someone who has actually made the craft. I am persuaded to try making a few, I think.<br /><br />And I laughed out loud about your mom in her bathing suit. My father is especially fond of his military service portrait. He often talks about that handsome man in the picture and I laugh, but never disagree. :D <br /><br />Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. And I enjoyed your blog so much. I wish stupid GFC hadn't changed. That would have been the easiest way for me to keep up with it, but I am following on Twitter, so that helps. :D<br /><br />EldaroseReba and Eldarose, sisters, friends and co-bloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771256715867574656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567636838481567047.post-24121107800202803682012-03-05T19:37:27.101-06:002012-03-05T19:37:27.101-06:00Hi lovely lady.

I love the black and white photos on the wall and the vellum with pictures/frames turned into lanterns! So many great ideas it would be hard to choose which to use. I am sure whatever you choose will be beautiful and the sentiment would make anyone cry!

Awww. Thanks so much. The party is the...Hey Nann!<br /><br />Awww. Thanks so much. The party is the biggest deal for me since my mother asked for it. She has never asked for anything like this. She asks us for errands and domestic help, but usually shopping stuff like buying gifts for people or getting her some clothes or something for the house. This is different. This is a memory she is asking us for. Plus, at 80, you don't take anything for granted. Our mom made my sister, Elsa, promise to have her birthday party, even if she is not here for it....and well, that hurt my heart to even think about, so I want this party to knock her socks off. I really want my dad to enjoy it, too, and feel like his life is being celebrated so he knows we love and appreciate and adore him just as much as we love our mom. <br /><br />I hope it turns out well. My goal is to feel jubilant after the party because my parents had such a good time. <br /><br />And I'm sorry I haven't visited as much lately. I've been thinking about you all week actually. I saw your Mardi Gras table on Facebook (which is very weird bc I hardly ever visit Facebook, but I got a lot of hits this week from it and wanted to see why and while I could never figure out why, I ended up visiting a blog ooh'ing and aww'ing your setting) and I wanted to go by and leave a comment how amazing it is. I was like what a great setting. That is a favorite setting, if not my favorite setting I've seen for Mardi Gras and then I saw it was yours and I thought "Oh my goodness! It's NANN'S! I know her !" LOL. I felt rather proud for some reason just because I knew you and your table was so great. I've been sidetracked by work and mother duty and blogging a bit, too. Preparing something to post is taking away time from visiting other sites and even replying to comments left here. I've decided to try to use Saturday mornings early as a time to visit other blogs, reply to comments and leave comments on blogs I want to visit. Leaving you a comment and asking this other lady who has a light fixture I really like about it were on my "to-do" list. You just beat me to the punch. LOL.<br /><br />EldaroseReba and Eldarose, sisters, friends and co-bloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09771256715867574656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567636838481567047.post-50940178006578160462012-03-03T07:21:34.423-06:002012-03-03T07:21:34.423-06:00I am so touched that you are doing such a beautifu...I am so touched that you are doing such a beautiful party for your mother.
