Crowned Chirps Party & Tabletop Tuesday

Happy Monday Morning Sweet Peas,


How was your weekend???
Hoping it was full of Sunshine and
Great Weather!  Especially for you
Dears Ones that live up North.


Ours was fun and exciting,  we went to the Cardiologist
 on Friday for hubby, and he got a good report,  and we
 were able to give him our "Heaven is for real" book. 
 Which was not my plan, my plan was to reread it and
 then give it to our kids to read,  but was reading the 
last chapter to hubby as we drove down there,  and the 
thought popped into my head to give it to Dr. D.........
I felt it was the Lord since it wasn't my plan. 
 It was neat because he said "he had seen this kid" on
 T.V.,  so felt like the Lord had already laid the ground
work.  So that was fun!!


Then we went shopping for my dress for the Scott's 
Wedding, which is just less than 6 weeks away now!  
Tried on a bunch of dresses at Dillards, but none of
them worked,  and Dee happened to call cause she was
 bored...... she was stuck at work,  awaiting approval
 on x-rays from a Dr., so she finally got cut lose and 
came over to lend a hand for awhile, so I tried on a
 bunch more dresses and we found one, that looked
 okay,  but  I wasn't really thrilled with it.  It was
great she came to help tho,  cause it made it much
faster cause she was getting them off the hangers and
 hanging them back up for me.  I was telling hubby
my how things change,  that used to be me doing that
for her!!  lol
 Jerry was waiting on her, so they could go get something
 to eat,  so she left,  and then we went to Macy's and
I tried on a couple of things there,  but didn't like
 them,  then we went to Sears really not expecting 
to find much, but we looked around anyway and
  to our amazement, I think I found the dress.  
So we were beyond excited!!


 Now I had seen the same style dress at Macy's,
and loved it but it was cream colored, which
 doesn't work for me, but the one at Sears was
a shimmery midnight blue, that is A-line, with
cut in sleeves, and ruffles down the whole dress,
It also has pearls and rhinestones at the neckline,
and looked so nice on.  Very figure forgiving!!


The color looks great with my hair color, and I typically
have never liked sleeveless anything, because I have 
very narrow shoulders and most stuff hangs over my
 shoulders and makes my arms look fat,  it was that
 way even when I was young and skinny.
So I only wear cut in sleeves if they are sleeveless.


Loved this!!  It was the same style dress made
buy the same Co.,  the one at Macy's was $109.00.
on sale, and mine from Sears was on sale for $50.00, 
 the exact same amount of $$ I got for my birthday!
Isn't God Great!!


Now I just need an okay from Megan cause I haven't 
seen her Mom's dress,  all I know is it is black and
 cream and knee length.  


Now I am hoping I can find shoes at Dillards so I can
 use my Birthday gift card.


After all that shopping,  we were starving of course,
so we had another gift certificate compliments of
Scott and Megan for Long Horn Steak House,
so we went there and had a lovely time and
a lovely dinner!!


Saturday was pretty uneventful,  just made a nice
big breakfast and hung out.....sat in the sun a bit,
and had a nice leisurely day,  and turned in by
10:30, which is early for us!!  lol


Then Sunday was Church,  I didn't go to Sunday
School cause for some reason I woke up at 2:30,
and couldn't go back to sleep,  and then was reading
on the website of the place where Dee is having her
 Wedding,  and read some things that disturbed
me about the privacy and inclement weather,
cause her Wedding is going to be outside under
a pavilion,  so then was thinking about that, so
didn't get back to sleep until 8:00,  so Jim let me
sleep as long as possible.


After church some friends took us out to Olive
Garden for lunch,  they have a new soup that
is delicious........I think it is called Chicken Gnocci
soup,  it reminded me of a great cream of broccoli
soup that my dear friend Sharon makes, Only it
is made with spinach, chicken, and gnocci.  
What a pleasant and fun time of fellowship.


Then we ran to Publix to pick up a few things,
and to the dollar store for wrapping paper and
ribbon for Megan's upcoming Shower next
weekend!  So looking forward to that!!
Then got all the way home and realized we
had forgotten hubbies van at the church,
so had to go back and get it,  so we didn't
 get home till 4:00,  then took a nap at 5:00
to 6: something,  and watched our Pastors
on T.V. and turned in at around 11:30,  
I think we both felt it was a great weekend!!
And it was certainly a great Birthday week
for me!!  lol


Today is hubbies other interview,  so we are hoping
 to maybe hear something quickly for a change,  
but not counting on it necessarily !!  lol
But it would be nice!!
You can always hope!!


Now the real reason for this post!!  lol
But I just had to talk to you a bit first,
cause it seems like a long time!!

Welcome to the Crowned Chirp Party
hosted by Miss Becky over at Junk to Joy

If you would like to see what others did

with their Crowned Chirp just Click Here

And what is a Crowned Chirp, 
you  might ask????

Why they are these delightful little birdies that have

 taken up residence on my family room coffee table. 

 Mama and  baby daughter!!

See they even left some Crowned Chirp eggs............

Amongst the pretty roses and berries 

I know some of the photos didn't include

the  Crowned Chirps but thought you might

 enjoy seeing the entire vignette.

Decided to make a dessert type place setting

with the crowned chirps 

Had some Easter Candy, so added some spring

peanut M & M's to look like bird eggs

 and some jelly bean eggs as well!

And since it was a dessert place setting.....
 we must have some dessert, Of Course!!

As you can see I used our "Queen or King
for a day" dessert plate (at least that is what we
call it around here.....it is for the special person
of the day, whether birthday or whatever
we are celebrating for that person) 

And our Queen or King of the day Candle,
that goes on top of their fav dessert!

Ahhhh.....Turtle Cheesecake!!
Baby Daughter says to MaMa!!

Here are the unfettered Crowned Chirps.....
Or should I say unegged!!

Now.... lets try out a few of those new
real looking faux eggs I got a few weeks back!!

Then since I was on a roll and already at the

kitchen table,  I tried this......................

Great Place to carry and egg...........

This is also what I did with the daisy bushes
I got,  but this is not their final destination,  I
have something else in mind that hopefully, I
will get to soon! 

Had to add at least one with a photoshop affect!!


It has been equalized and posterized and think this is
gonna  have to be on the front of  someone's
 Easter Card!!  lol
