Again, Aprons!

Sorry about the way I had to post this comment, but blogger is not cooperating tonight.
I am attending a charity luncheon next month in California with my Marta and her family. She is 'hosting' a table -which is another word for doing alot of work - she will be decorating and setting a table for 8 women who have paid money for the luncheon. The theme she is decorating around is the 50's -yes the era we were born in. She asked me to help -so I made 8 aprons for us to wear at the lunch. They are really cute and colorful if I say so myself and I was so excited to put the finishing touch on each one - a rose.

The roses are called 'zipper flowers' - the center being a gathered zipper!!

I LOVE Aprons!

I really like making these!

I have made three of these so far and they are so much fun. I just bought some white notebooks with the insertable plastic sleeve on the front, and then cut some pretty scrapbook paper to insert, then added a label I printed with my computer. I place all my recipes in protective sleeves so that they don't get all gooped up. I splurged and bought some plastic dividers with tabs so that I could place pretty papers in them as well. (I haven't labeled my dividers yet, so it's kind of hard to tell that these have tabs.)

















There were around 3 more categories, but I'm too lazy to upload the photos of them.

These would make a wonderful bridal shower gift and, believe me, they are fun to make.






Happy Birthday Matthew!

He was so excited about his cake! Makes it all worth the 2 1/2 hours it took to decorate it!














The reason he looks so serious is that he is studying the way this thing works!
