Cute As A Button!

My Mom, Jill, is so creative! I wish I came close to some of her ideas but I'm very grateful that I've got to watch her and hope some of her creativity rubs off on me a little bit. She has had this huge collection of buttons that she's gathered her whole life, many of them having special memories. She found a small picture in a magazine with a button flower and put her buttons to good use. If you have some buttons and wire laying around give them a try. Super cute and quirky!

Game Day Grub

Superbowl Sunday really isn't about the game or even the commericals, it's just a great reason to get the family together. We had a great time cheering for both teams-the room was defininitly divided. I helped plan the menu & it was simple enough that it hardly took anything to get ready and we could just enjoy company and relax.

Menu: Steelers Sliders-BBQ Chicken & Carmelized Onion Sandwiches

Packers Mac N'Cheese- a hit with my nieces and nephews. Had to do somthing w/ cheese!

I drew plays on the table and my mom had these X's and O's for decor. They're really for hugs and kisses but worked for our decorations too.

Some of the spread including Carrilyne's Famous Cookies!

Some Cheesy, Creamy Mac N' Cheese! My nieces thought is was so fun to see people in the crowd with cheese head hats!

Good Game, even better company! Happy Superbowl Sunday!
