Every year we celebrate the girls that are  turning 12, (which a daughter of mine was one of them),
 and coming into the Youth Program. 
While in the program they focus on learning values, building character and coming closer to Christ.

I get to work with these girls a lot, which means I spend a lot of time sharing ideas.  I did this night.
It's a pleasure and privilege to work with them.

Okay, she (Creative Momma Chelsea) just posts better and faster than I do. Which really, it works for me. So, here is the link to more of the wedding stuff we did over at Creative Mommas. Inside the birdhouse windows I put little votive candles. Some of them had words worthy of use in marriage. And others had sayings.

Loved this little quote, and movie line. Daina, who took this photo, does too. 

Our New Year's Eve Party Decorations. 
I did the "Celebration" sign by wrapping cake cardboards with silver wrapping paper and attaching large black vinyl letters that I purchased from Hobby Lobby. Since I choice a generic word and not a specific holiday I can use it for any occasion. I also used clip on flowers so they can be removed and something else (more holiday related) put in its place. It was super simple.

The bowls on the table are from Color Me Mine. I went and did it while on vacation since Missouri doesn't have one. They are gray with a saying that I often use on the inside lip - "If a things worth doing, it's worth overdoing."

I set out a mini-mirror ball from the Christmas decorations. I got the candelabras from the thrift store and little votive candles that I have on hand. This all came together so easily there wasn't any stress in it. Just like I like it. We had a wonderful time.
