Looks like a wonderful party, Sue! And, of course, the food looks FABULOUS! How funny about the quilt! Gotta love a sock monkey quilt mad by a lion! lol Happy weekend!...hugs...Debbie
You are too funny, Sue! This was a wonderful baby shower..the food looks so good!
Welcome baby Leo! His name is one of my favorite names for a boy ;)
Bwah, ha, ha, ha. You are too funny. Wish you were my neighbor. Guess I'll have to move to Georgia.
Never a dull moment at your house, Sue! Love it. Fabulous food and an lion/ess for a hostess and party favors...doesn't get any better than that.
I think dressing as a lion was adorable and the food was fabulous looking so I can only imagine how yummy it was to eat...you sure don't scrimp. That is funny about the quilt, only you Sue.
Oh the food, the food! I can't believe you made all that. It looks wonderful. You are a cute lion but good thing Leo wasn't there since you might have frightened him away. I think it is great how involved you are with your younger neighbors; you are teaching them how to throw a wonderful party. I think the Sock Monkey quilt is adorable and Leo might just love it even if his mom is not a huge fan.
Only you Sue! Only you! I think the quilt is cute and I'm sure she appreciated your gift. Looks like a really nice party to welcome baby Leo!
Sue no matter where you go or what you do you always have the best time. The party looked like fun and I know you had fun. The food looked delish and I know you had a great part in it. You are a great cook and baker. I know you love your new home and neighborhood too.
And you made a great lion too.
Love, sandie
