Cakewalk

I swear the ironing never stops.  And yes, we iron. I know, I know, we should steam. We do, but only things that need freshing up. There’s nothing better than the good ‘ole iron. I’m gonna have to be quick cuz I have oodles of buttons to get sewn tonite.  But I promised a few pics, so here you go.

I know, you want more and better but the problem is I have only set up one section complete. So I am limited what pictures I can take cuz heaven forbid I show you the true mess that is going on in the workshop right now. It’s tough turning a packing room into an Art Fair. But we will pull it off and we’ll pull it off just for you!

So last night I was off searching for some candy for the kids raffle. I thought it’d be fun to have a table for kids to buy .25cent raffle tickets to win their chance at a few things, and a few of them include going into 435 early to pick out THEIR fave thing with one of the 435 girls.  But look what I found just for you ladies…..

They may want to try the Holiday Inn in New Haven. It is pretty much a straight shot on 930 (about 15 minutes to Brackenridge). Phone is 260-748-6767 and address is 11205 Isabelle Drive, New Haven. Denise, I always enjoy seeing your creativity. You inspire others! I can not thank you enough for letting Kiara intern for you. She has learned so much from you and the other ladies at 435. I also enjoyed reading the article in the Fort Wayne Magazine on Matilda Janes. May you be blessed as you continue to bless others!

Hope everyone has fun and there’s always next time!(that’s what my Dad would’ve said about the dance anyway) Denise,I am LOVIN that vintage looking mint green colored lace and yes COKE rules!!

I think you should take pics of the before workshop and then we can all oogle at how nice it looks when we get there. Like my Mom who sees my house at it’s worst, then comes for a party here and never fails to comment on how nice it looks and make my hard work feel important and me feel appreciated! :)

FYI–the hiltons are booking up VERY fast. Just called over there yesterday. So go quick and good luck! We are actually staying at the Hampton in Auburn, so still very close. And very new hotel which should be nice! Thanks for the sneak peek. <3

mom2curls - June 19, 2010 - 2:11 pm

Great! Thanks again Denise, I am the queen of procrastination…

MOM2CURLS-
THE HILTON IS THE CLOSEST (SORRY FOR THE CAPS) BUT MAY BE FULL. I’M BETTING THOUGHT IF YOU CALL LAST MINUTE YOU CAN GET A ROOM. RESIDENCE INN ON JEFFESRON IS ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SERIOUSLY, WE HAVE PLENTY FOR ALL.

Mandy - June 19, 2010 - 6:46 am

I have a steamer & hardly ever use it…I LOVE a good ole ironing too! :)

mom2curls - June 19, 2010 - 6:35 am

What is the closest hotel that you would suggest? At what time does the line form to get in?? Just trying to map out everything…thanks.

Lisa M - June 19, 2010 - 5:24 am

Bee - June 18, 2010 - 9:35 pm

Good ol’ Boone’s! WOW, the memories! What great goodies for the ladies! :-) Y’all are going to have an amazing time. All I can say is one of these days!<3

Laura Ann - June 18, 2010 - 8:39 pm

Okay—the dress up front is eye candy along with the Boones. Back in the day, that was the best thing we could get our hands on and all those flavors were not even available. Good stuff going on for all of you at 435. Please, please make some of those dresses for those of us who could not make it. Cuteness.

Emma's*Mommy - June 18, 2010 - 8:32 pm

It’s just painfull how badly I wish I could be there!

Jenna - June 18, 2010 - 8:02 pm

Next year I must be there. I have a friend picking out a few pretties for me but it’s can’t measure the magnitude of being there. I’m so glad there are other moms out there who share in the obsession!

Monika - June 18, 2010 - 7:59 pm

This is pure torture… I hope there will be LOTS of leftovers for Platinum!!

Julie - June 18, 2010 - 7:05 pm
