I was very lucky to be a part of a great friends baby shower this past week. It was great to catch up with former co workers over cocktails and enjoy the beautiful weather together.

Wacky Fun and Uncontrollable Laughter

June is a birthday month for many in our family, so what better way to celebrate than with hibachi, sushi, drinks and a group of my favorite people.

Some serious Saki action going on here.

Flower Bouquet for Spring

Katie and Dom Kahl moved into their new home in Minnetonka MN. Devin and I were invited over to see the new home and enjoy a wonderful evening grilling food and catching up. I wanted to bring something special to brighten up their new home. I was able to find these beautiful flowers to put in a martini glass and added some lemon to freshen up the look.

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE!

Dollar Bill Flower Bouquet

My Grandma was celebrating her 75th Birthday and I wanted to put together something unique for her present. This year I gave her money to spend on our girls day out in Minneapolis. I found this great way to make flowers with dollar bills and since spring was finally approaching, a flower bouquet was just perfect!

A Day to Celebrate Grammy's 75th Birthday

I spent this wonderful sunny Friday with my sister, mom and grandma in Minneapolis for a girls day out. We celebrated my Grandma's 75th birthday!  My grandma and sister had makeovers done at Mac at Nordstrom's in the Mall of America. Thanks Amanda, the girls did such a great job!  We had lunch at Crave in Edina and finished the day with some shopping.

 Just Beautiful Mel

Murder Mystery Party-Happy Birthday Julie!!!

As many of you probably already know, I love games,competitions and Winning! ....So I was more than excited when I received an invitation to Julie's Birthday celebration and it was a Murder Mystery party.  
We had been assigned our characters, found the most fabulous costume to come to the party in, and were ready to play our characters.  Once we all arrived to the party we began to mingle around in our characters. The first round we were given an envelope and inside was a card with clues necessary to play our characters. During the investigation round it was very important to ask the right questions to the right characters and listen carefully to each clue in order to solve the mystery. The clue cards gave us certain ways to act toward each other and what we could reveal or not reveal in conversation. It was a very fun night, Only 3 of us guessed the correct murderer... Bameril Lacrosse-Chris.
