Alison's Bridal Shower
What a fun weekend.
What a fun weekend.
There is a little contest at the end of this post!
The first few photos show the Bridal Shower decorations coming together early in the day.
I use these Hurricane Lamps for so many events. Each time, they look like a new decoration, depending on what I fill them with, where I use them, etc.
I am all about being able to recycle decorations!

I needed these... and lots of them...
....And they were only at the bottom of a HUGE pile of hundreds, no, thousands, of boxes containing every other type of "Movie Box" Candy. I was on a serious mission to get to the bottom of the pile. After strategically removing hundreds of boxes on top, causing a HUGE scene, being mistaken for a Wal Mart Employee, and then recruiting some nearby shoppers to help, I was able to get to the bottom of the bin and retrieve the needed Lemonhead Candy. It was so worth the excursion and making a scene in the store, plus I made some new friends who helped with the retrieval mission!!!! The decorations turned out soooooo darn cute! Yes, DARN Cute!

Very Cute!
Here are the Hershey Bar Favors... Lemonheads were not the only Candy involved in the fun!
I have had these Daisy Stickers for a while and decided they were
perfect for
Miss Alison's Shower Favors


This is Alison and me after the shower. At this point, I was getting my second wind after a long day's work. I loved every minute of preparing and presenting this shower!!! I am so excited to welcome Alison to our family and be her mother-in-law!!!



He was trying to do push ups with some extra resistance.

Regardless of the location, it is always a hit!
We just finished it off tonight (Sunday)

They were a great accent with all the yellow!

Have you ever used Candy as a Decoration?
If so, what, when, where...etc.
Now.....Here is a little contest....

So if i was like my husband Andrew i would go down to the store and buy a box and count how many were in the box and then put them in a Hurricane lamp and then figure how many were used the previous year and at what rate do people eat the lemon heads... AHHHHH! tooooo much thinking.

Very clever and very pretty using the Lemonheads and flowers. I've used candy canes on my tree, also, and I printed photos of the bride and groom on paper used to wrap up Heshey's Miniatures for wedding favors.
My guess is 32 boxes.
My guess is 39 boxes! The decorations were so beautiful! What a cute idea....
