Sorry for not posting the Meet Me Monday party tonight!
I will post it next Monday but wanted to take some time off tonight.
We have been having family time.
I have two sweet nephews that will be leaving soon for basic training in the Air Force.
We are all very proud of them.
And it is a bitter sweet time of celebrating family. We all came together from our different states to be together before they have to leave. We are all staying at our beach house. Lots of people....lots of food....lot of fun.
Tonight we celebrated with a big "steamed seafood" dinner.
Some people call this "Frogmore stew". We didn't have the sausage in it....so we call it a big "steamed seafood" dinner.
Our potato's and corn were to the side.....I had to grab this in between hungry hands and mouth. So forgive the quality of the pictures.
I haven't shared much about our beach house. I think I will share more this week. If you want to hear about it...that is.
It's not as "romantic" and "chicy" as it sounds. It is hard work.....lots of repairs.....rental work.....yada, yada, yada.
Wanna see it?
Wanna hear about it?
Would it bore you to pieces?
Let me know.
Guess what else we have been up to while we are here?
Tell me these aren't cuties?
Beach bunnies.
They were hideous to work with in their photo shoot.
Rather high maintenance.
I found this great tutorial on lilblueboo.com.
Awesome idea and we had fun personalizing ours.
With all of our kids....it made a "bunch" of bunnies. These aren't all of them......
So, where do I start first?
Show you how we made the EASY beach bunnies?
Tell you about the beach house?
Tell you how to make "Frogmore" stew?
Are you mad about "Meet Me Monday"?
It was our two nephews fault.
Can you blame me?
I didn't think so.
Please keep them in your prayers!
Let me know where you want me to start......
Just when you thought you knew everything about me.
I can't wait to hear from you!
Love,
Me

I'm so glad you took a week off from the usual Monday to have a party to honor your nephews and appreciate the wonderful young men they must be before they go to basic. Salutes and thanks from CT! The bunnies are so cute, so individual. Beach house secrets, huh? Hold out no longer, LOL.
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you for putting family first! Will be praying for them! I can't imagine! And your bunnies are adorable!

Would you mind sharing with me what you ue to 'watermark' your images? I need to find a method that is quicker and easier than the one I've com up with and am hoping you can help!
ReplyDeleteThanks bunches!

Hey Jen! The watermark in the photos above are just "text" in photoshop. I had to do individually. There are a couple of pretty fast ways that I found for you though when I just googled them. Maybe these "smarties" can help you better than I can! Let me know if they help! Love, Me
