  2. Your luncheon looks like so much fun! Glad you are able to actually get together with friends from blogland.

    Love that bra holster!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I was showing the bra holster to the superhero. He said "she has giant boobs, I don't think you would conceal that we'll!" WHAT????? :)

    ReplyDelete
  4. That is such a cute cupcake plant!! What a clever idea.

    ReplyDelete
  5. That quote is so true isn't it! I feel like I've been rushing too much and it's time to slow down!
    Your friend Sue went out - looks like a great time was had for sure!

  6. I love the cupcake bouquet...very clever and easy.
    Some good tips today for using common household items.

  7. Love the last quote. Not sure I wouldn't shoot my left boob off with that bra holster, but I guess if you knew what you were doing it would be a good thing.

  8. Awww! Love the cupcake bouquet!

  9. Sounds like you guys had wonderful party. Everything looked so pretty. I had to laugh at the bra holster. And the Victoria Secrets is the best!

    ReplyDelete
  10. OK, before I forget: I love that last quote about rushing through life.

    Now, about the bra holster. I can not figure out how it is concealed so well on those tiny women. Plus, I would shoot myself in the stomach, I just know it...

    But I still think it's a cool idea. I do not have a gun. I do not know how to use one. I want to learn and need to learn. It's on my "soon to do" list.

    The cupcake plant is a neat idea. And so is the bra holster. Hopefully, we won't ever wish we had one!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. YIKES, a BRA GUN!!! Not for ME, I would shoot my nipples off for sure! Plus, most attackers come from behind, and I am certainly NOT getting a butt gun!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wow, I hope that we don't really have to hide a gun in there. LOL
    The pin cushion cup cakes display is cute.
    Thanks for the list of restaurants for free bees.

  26. Victoria ain't very nice, is she?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Love the cupcake idea, the tips, the laugh and the lift. I was wondering if the duct tape is really the answer to war, or if it is a way to get rid of a wart. Should we send that one to Congress?

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'm gonna try lemon for those pesky age spots - remember I just blogged about them?!

    And, I love the cupcake plant. I might try that sometime. Now all I have to do is start being a baker.

    And, Victoria told me the secret...NEVER go out without a bra - industrial strength.

    xo

  29. I had no idea that all these freebies were out there to be had with these restaurant meals. I am especially intrigued by the Starbuck's birthday offer :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. What a beautiful table setting for a very fun celebration!! It's a great idea to get together with blogging friends who live close enough to enjoy the party! I love the cookies in a jar!! Awesome!

  36. I'd need some boobs to be able to conceal even a small gun!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ohhhh, that was a great post, Sandie. Lots of good stuff.

    I doubt I'd carry a pistol in a bra holster. ha ha ha I mean, I COULD but knowing me, I'd probably shoot myself. ha haha

    Loved the cupcake bouquet, too.

    Have a great night. Susan

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm not so sure I'd feel safe with that bra holster. I would no doubt shoot myself. I also would like to know Victoria's secret. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Good one today, Sandie. I knew those home remedy items were ALL TRUE.

    If you have a Luby's Cafeteria they will send you a coupon for a free meal on your BDay.

    I like the looks of those Atlanta Blogger Girls. YOu didn't tell which one was you. XD
    ..
    Oh yes, I am going to send my daughter and GD the picture of your cupcake flowering plant.
