*tap*tap* Is this thing on? Anyone out there? Bueller?
So, it looks like I’m back in action and I’m so happy to revive my little corner of blogland. Today’s post is one that was supposed to go up yesterday – but, ya know – sometimes life get really hectic!
And since my mom is still one of those people that doesn’t really use her computer on the weekends – I think it’s OK that I’m a day late is posting this little Happy Mother’s Day message to her!

| Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! |
In addition to gifting yummy scones to friends and family, I had the chance to host my in-laws for a little mother’s day dinner! It was a great time to bust into “our” new wedding dishware (I have to insert quotes around “our” because let’s be honest – Andrew is not so much into dishware, so really it’s my new dishware – but he does thoroughly enjoy eating yummy food off these dishes!)
Of course, our table settings would not be complete without a little papercrafting, so I continued the purple & green theme onto these simple & elegant placecards which I stamped using Papertrey Ink’s Rosie Posie stamp set along with the newly released Clear and Simple Stamps Alpha Engraved set.
When it was time to eat, we sat down to a really yummy watermelon, feta & balsamic salad and potpies!
And in case you are wondering… that ruglelach was DEEEEEELISH!
Thanks for stopping by today and letting me share photos from a really fun night! I’ll be back soon with more papercrafting and such!

Placecards, “Tea & Cookies” sign, Favor box wrap-around labels
