Warmth of Home Wednesday- "Making Special Days Special!"

Today I wanted to share with you a Graduation Party for a dear friend's daughter, Tori.  We had so much fun making the decorations and most importantly Tori loved it.

After graduation Tori is preparing to go to Australia to study music.  She wants to be a worship leader!  Because of her love for the Lord and wanting to glorify Him with her voice, we used old sheet music as part of our decorations.

The suitcase was for cards and gifts.  It sat on a table as you came into the room.  The banner was made from old sheet music.

The tables were decorated with red roses in bud vases, with sheet music under them.

Around the bud vase were little Thank You boxes and candy kisses.

Each guest received a little box with a Thank You note inside.  How sweet are these!!!

We made a banner for the front of the food table.  

I just love the way this banner turned out.  The scripture and little bird were perfect for Tori's party.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.  It is so much fun to make special memories for the people we love.

Cozy and Creative Blessings!

My good friend, Lee Ann, brought me a basket of goodies from her garden.  Don't you just love all the fresh produce this time of the year??  I have been nibbling on the little tomatoes and the flavor is amazing. 

This is a pot of basil which is out on my patio.  It is green and lush and so good added to summer meals.  Both tomatoes and basil were used to make the following.

Lee Ann is an amazing cook and she readily shares her ideas and recipes.  Her recipes are easy to make, very nutritious and have incredible flavor combinations.  I have learned a lot from her!   This week she made the above "Tomato Bread/Bruschetta"  It was delicious!  With her permission, I am passing the recipe on to you. 

Sprinkle olive oil over toasted multi grain bread.  Thinly slice tomatoes, and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, oregano and fresh basil.  Layer 2% mozzarella cheese, and grind some fresh black pepper on top.  Broil or bake at 350, until cheese melts and browns lightly.   Enjoy!

Thanks Lee Ann for sharing.  It was delicious!

Take advantage of the garden bounty and remember to keep it simple . 

Cozy Blessings!
