Breaking Dawn Set-Up

If you’ve ever seen or better yet been to one of our Movie Premier Parties–then you’ll likely recognize this scene.

But we did things a bit differently this time around.

We held a reception for Edward and Bella and a bunch of their friends in Utah.  :}

As you can see– B & E had tons of wedding gifts and they were perfectly willing to share with their guests.

We had chocolate cake with vanilla custard filling…

reception mints–seriously, what’s a reception without them?

and vanilla cake with chocolate custard filling. Perfect.

Of course, our sweet helpers–Amy, the gift girl…

Kathy–our goodie bag, set up and all around everything helper–despite the fact that she is expecting a little “nudger” of her own in January…

Tracy– our cake server sweetie…

April–our prize photographer. Apparently, this movie brings out the romantic side of some people!

and Lyndi our Goodie Bag organizer and theater seat coordinator. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this such a wonderful event!

Watch for more photos in the next few days–when they come from the photographer. Honestly, we had– So. Much. Fun.

Oh, and the movie was incredible too!

For the Holidays~

If you’ve spent much time at all with us here–then it’s quite likely, you know that I’m crazy about these little finger puppets from WeeKnit.

I’m so nuts, in fact that I use them for all the Gracious Rain Premiers. I can’t help myself. I LOVE THEM!!

But it’s not just me–Miss Chompy loves them too–and I can prove it–right HERE.

So, of course, I’m freaking out over all the adorable holiday sets…

well, at least the ones that I don’t already have.

Heh, heh.

So, if I were you–I would whip right on over there and grab some of these cuties up–just in time for Christmas. Oh, and if you use the coupon code “GRain10″ you’ll even get 10% off your order–just because you’re a Gracious Rain reader. Hurry though–this offer is good until October 15th.

See–it pays to know people…

especially, clever people.

Tink’s Fairy Cottage

Finally, finally finished…

and ready to be taken over by fairy folk.

And I dare say that as soon as Lily sees it, there will be pixie dust everywhere.

It has room to lounge around..

or to play Statue Maker in the corner…

or to just sit back and laugh your head off.

Whatever floats your boat.

With button closures to hold it together…

and a cozy pocket to keep everyone calm and collected and safe.  Kinda makes you want to be a fairy–doesn’t it?

Well, if you want to make a sweet little doll house, or barn or garage or fairy cottage–it’s really up to you—I found the instructions at UK Lass in US. Be sure to read through the directions a few times to get it all sorted out in your head. I made 3 at one time–so I’ll have to show you the other two…

as soon as I finish them.

So tell me…what do you think?

One Gracious Birthday

My cute son, Dane has decided to “donate” his 22nd birthday to Charity Water, an amazing non-profit organization determined to see that the population of the world has clean drinking water in our life time. Incredible.

He’s already made over 10% of his goal to raise $2200 by March 31, 2011 in the first two days, and we’d love to see the momentum keep building. As a mom–I can’t even comprehend what it would feel like to have to feed my children water that would make them sick. So to help him with this life changing project–I’m donating 50% of the proceeds from my greenWinkle shop until the end of March. Please check it out–for a good cause, if you’d like.

To see or join his event on Facebook click HERE.

Thanks my friends–you’re the best.
