Happy 50th Anniversary Mom & Dad!


I apologize to all of you who've been wondering why I disappeared. A few days after my birthday was Mr. LuckyGirl's birthday, then my parents' wedding anniversary, so we've been partying! The anniversary meant a road trip, and although we came home on Tuesday, it always takes me a few days to recover.

We held a party in a pavillion at a local club so there'd be room for all of the guests. We had over a hundred friends and relatives there, and it was great to see so many folks come out to celebrate with us. The photo above is a near-life-size plastic standup I had made from a small wedding photo. I was thrilled with how well it turned out! The folks at PartyStandups.com did an awesome job!



Here's a shot of Mom and Dad posing with their flat selves from yesteryear. The flat people were shipped folded, so they were easy to transport. Once we attached the easels to the back it became impossible to fold them again, so now Mom and Dad get to look at a giant wedding photo every day (as do all of their neighbors!).

An Anniversary Cheesecake

A few days ago I posted a plea for gift suggestions--I had forgotten about our anniversary and had only a couple of days to come up with a suitable gift. Thanks to everyone who tried to bail me out! After totally stressing, I realized that often the simple pleasures are the best.


He loves peanut butter and jelly cheesecake, and this one hit the mark. I've posted the recipe on The Peanut Butter Blog in case you need a last-minute gift of your own (or just need some cheesecake!).

Help! I Forgot My Anniversary!

I have been so scattered lately that I forgot my wedding anniversary is in a few days--so I have nothing for Mr. LuckyGirl. He's extremely difficult to buy gifts for, so I usually start looking several months ahead of time. In fact, I should be trying to figure out his Christmas gift now, that way I'll have found the perfect present in time. So what do you buy for an awesome husband who doesn't wear cologne or aftershave, jewelry, or even neckties?



Here's the Valentine gift I got for him. It's felted pottery from Valerie's Gallery, and he loved it! It now holds his keys, wallet, cell phone, and other tiny treasures. But how many felted bowls does a guy need?

I need suggestions--please help me find Mr. LuckyGirl the perfect anniversary gift!
