Breaking Boundaries



Friday night, December 5th, was our annual Breaking Boundaries/AIDS awareness benefit. I've been a decorating fool for the past week and that is why I haven't been posting or reading much as of late. A formal, sit down, 5 course dinner for 300 people is NO SMALL TASK to pull off. The theme this year was "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and I have to say it was FAB-U-LOUS! We truely transformed an old drab building into a magical fairy world! I will post more pics as I receive them from those who actually had time to take pictures. It truely was an amazing evening of food and fun that was had by all.


Everyone should get out and help support a local non-profit organization. Get involved! It's wonderful especially in this economic downturn (can we call it a recession yet?).



Me and my GORGEOUS daughter. She SOOO gets her looks from her dad!








This is me playing Vanna with a tiffany blue box cake. It auctioned for around $400 dollars! It was all because I was holding it, I'm sure!
