The Jones Girls

Yesterday I used some 50% off coupons at Michaels and bought some melting chocolate and scored a 100 piece cookie cutter set for 1./2 off with the coupon making it $5.  I needed a flamingo cookie cutter and there was one it this set!  I am making flamingo cookies and decorating them to put in goodie bags for the members.

So I came home and began making sugar cookie dough.  Then  I baked a huge chocolate chip cookie and decorated it as a prize for one of the members to win.  I placed it on a beautiful serving dish that the member got to keep as well. 

Then I drizzled melting chocolate on strawberries.  I baked the flamingo cookies and decorated them.   Then I put all of the goodie bags together.  I had a great Sangria I was bringing along with fun keepsake margarita glasses with flamingo stir sticks.    I got so much done. and left the house at 7pm.

I got to the Spaghetti Factory and starting setting up.   I put strawberries witht he flamingo picks and place them in the margarita glasses.  I had gotten cute flamingo table decorations.  Can you tell the theme of the party was flamingos and end of summer bash?

Every member on the executive board was invited as a thank you for serving on the board of the moms club.  I wanted to make them feel special and I spoiled them!   They all ordered their meals and we started off with fresh yummy bread and then our salads followed by our pasta dish.  Then I handed out a gift to each mom.  They each received different gift certificates to restaurants.    They were all thrilled.    They really enjoyed the Sangria.  It was so much fun!  

I left my house in a disarry and chaos.  I got home at 10:30pm and cleaned the house till midnight.  I was exhausted!
