Something I live by....

7.21.11-

 Some of my FaVORiTE motto's in life are.... 

Everything looks better served on a cake stand

{so true!} 

& Presentation is EvERYTHING!

I mean just look how cute these big chewy Gingerbread Cookies look all snuggled in this vintage wooden tote box lined with patterns. 
Don't you just want one? 

{I love when I get a last minute inspiration that just clicks in my head- tah-dah!}

-these are my Grandma Hall's FaMous recipe & one of my favorites!!- 

This must mean we are in Celebration mode 

at our house today. 

We get the opportunity to host a 50th Wedding Anniversary open house in our yard tonight for 2 amazing & sweet people. They have been wonderful friends, teachers & examples to our family. 

We love them alot & are excited to celebrate with them tonight at our home. 

{now back to the last minute preparations} 

{Thanks to all my sweet friends & neighbors who helped out by making cookies, taking pictures & bringing over chairs & tables}
