I chose to decorate for the event with a spa/spring theme---representing a time to renew & rejuvenate.
The centerpieces were hurricanes made from dollar store vases glued a top dollar store candlesticks (I saw the idea on several blogs). Inside was a pansy, still in it's plastic nursery container, wrapped with moss. A mirror and dollar store rocks gave it the finishing touch. Yes, the dollar store is my go-to place for budget decorating!
I wanted to send a little something home with each lady based on the theme of the evening. A little reminder that it's important for us, especially as women, to take time just for us. I know that when I do something just for me---be it reading a book or magazine, thrift shopping, lunch with a friend, whatever it is that makes me feel renewed---I am more able to meet the demands of life and give of myself to family and others.
Based on that thought, I put together these little favors made from mouding pieces mod podged with fabric and paper and embellished with rick rack and a metallic scrapbook dot.

A little reminder to do what it takes to RENEW your spirit every day.

It looks like you pulled the theme together. Great job!
I love the "renew" theme. Perfect for Spring time.
Have a great day!
LOVE it, and stealing it! THANK YOU!
How beautiful, and so simple. There is nothing in the world really that some ric-rac doesn't make better.
Oh! Is it called ric-rac in the states? The zig-zaggy ribbon I mean. I just realised your name for it may be different.
Looks GREAT, sweetie! I love it...You are so talented...Come by and meet Poor Pitiful Pearl, My new slipcover I made...Hope to see you there! Meme
Wow Joy! You are an over achiever...truly a girl after my own heart. I love the candle stick vase idea. What type of glue did you use?
I'm sure every one just loved it!
What a creative idea! The message is one we all need. By the way, I want to tell you I bit the bullet! I SPRAY PAINTED my bathroom cabinets black!! Just got done and they are beautiful. Like you said Instant gratification. Does that count as something for me? I think so!!!! Thank you I never would have been brave enough (or thought of it) to use spray paint. I love it!!!
Wow, Joy! That looks amazing! You did a great job! I love the blue you chose and the fresh flowers. And, the hurricanes on the candle stick holders look fantastic! Love it, just love it!
