Blog update and Ipsy Subscription

I recently started subscribing to Ipsy! So far I have received the following bags (see pics below). If you didn't know Ipsy is a monthly subscription that offers samples ( many times full size samples of name brand make up products) and included is a really cute bag! And if you didn't know me... I love bags!!!! Probably even more then make-up! lol

If your interested in trying them out you can use the link below:

Ipsy Subscription

After the wedding is over (and after a week or so of rest) I will start back up with my monthly favorites and will add a review each month of my thoughts on the Ipsy subscription. I have a couple of other post in mind including a revamp of my "through the eyes of the pw" and Sunday Best post. I have missed my regular blog posting and I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things! 

Hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer!!! 

Our Women's Ministry Workshop

Y'all know how much I luv details!!! lol We really did have a good time at our Cafe Workshop last Saturday. Of course the fact that so many of my family and friends came out to help with the event made me a very happy lady!!!

Each lady received a coffee mug to match their group color. I mean really??? You can't have a Cafe without coffee mugs! LOL

I'm known for taking stuff from home to use at church for events. I have several plants there and I took my hydrangea centerpiece out there to use.

Yes, every last serving piece on the table belongs to me!!! LOL

Our registration table. I looked everywhere for a coffee smelling candle but the closest I came to one was a Hazelnut Cream from Walmart's Mainstay line.

Instead of name tags this year each lady got a workshop folder with their journal and pen. They then had to find other women who had the same color as they did and that made up their small group.

At lunch we gave each of the ladies a bag lunch with a Deli style sandwich, chips with salsa and cheese available for them to dip them in as well as brownies made by my daughter Quisha.

Our fellowship hall made for a great "Cafe"!

Our beverage station with cold water and orange juice. Each lady also received a packet of hot chocolate. 

Our sweet table was a huge success!!! 

And even though the chocolate fountain gave us a fit, it was still a hit with the ladies!

Did I mention that I stamped T-shirts for this event? Finally my scrapbook supplies are being used again! My friend and I spent an afternoon looking for cafe or coffee related stamps only for me to come home and find them in my own stash! SMH

I also stamped aprons for our guest facilitators. Just because your a small church does not mean you can't do things with excellence! Our team did a great job!!!! I wish I could say I'm resting but the wedding is next weekend and my list though smaller then it has been the last few months is still pretty full! To top that we are preparing for our Fall Revival and the 5th Anniversary of Marc and I being at WABC. So until later...you all have a blessed week and weekend!

Crazy Life!

I know its been a minute! But since before the Fourth of July our life has been crazy!

Most of my time is being spent on the planning of my cousins wedding in August.

This was the first 4th of July that I didn't host a party! With our recent trip plus all of the preparation for the wedding I just didn't feel up to tackling one more thing! But that didn't keep me from finding a Fourth of July outfit or making a meal for Marc, Nicki and myself! We even had a surprise visitor for the day! 

A week after the fourth I was back in the country knee deep in flowers! Thank goodness for my family who have been a great help to the brides mom and myself! This wedding is truly a family affair!

By the end of the week I was back in the beach helping Nicki with a wedding she was doing. She did about ten plus faces that day! I'm telling you my family should be in business!! lol 

Last week we attended the ordination of Nicki's godfather. 

Saturday morning we went to cheer Nicki on in her first 5k race!

Sundays outfit!

It was Men's Day at church on Sunday. We ended up sitting in three services that day! I haven't done that in forever! Can't say I miss it. lol Then right after the third service we dashed over to my oldest daughters "crib" for her house blessing! Yes, one of my three has finally flown the coop! 

Today I'm knee deep in the planning of some big events at WABC. Including our women's workshop which will take place next weekend! 

Thought I'd throw in some of the pics from our "garden"! Technically its just a small spot in our front yard where Marc planted a tomato and green pepper plant! It's also the spot where my hosta's were planted. The Hydrangea bush is from a birthday a few yrs back from my kids. 

We've had some other stuff going on that I can't really talk about. But I come from a praying family and we've been leaning and depending on him to get us through! 

So that's my little "check in" post! lol Hopefully it explains why I haven't posted much. Not to mention why my next post may take a minute as well!!! 

How's your summer going?? Mine is about to get even crazier!
