I have tried to convince myself of this since I was a child. Now, as an adult living with four sticky children, "a wanna be full-time farmer" husband, and a sometimes sticky dog, I still don't believe it.
Awesome decorations. The centerpieces are divine, but please tell me more about your silverware/napkin set-up. Did someone make those? What kind of fabric? LOVE them.
Yeah, "somebodies" made those napkins and they are just made out of quilters cotton from JoAnn's purchased with coupons so they were as cheap as possible. Lots of work to make 330 but totally worth it once we saw how the tables looked!
A runner's creed: I will win; if I cannot win, I shall be second; if I cannot be second, I shall be third; if I cannot place at all, I shall still do my best.
Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident - It is as common as life. ~Henry David Thoreau, 11 March 1842, letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson
As a child I would sit on my hands, palm side up, to try to get the sticky off them. This was especially important to do after eating an orange. Then in the next breath I would pour Elmer's glue all over my palm, spread it thinly, and wait for it to dry. Once it was dry I would carefully peel it off and then bury it in the flower pot outside. I've learned to use soap and warm water, my oldest son has a fascination with glue, I still can't find pants that "fit", I would like to burn all socks and bras (except of course those that I wear to run), and if I didn't run everyday I would need to be medicated, heavily, with either Prozac or chocolate. Then I really would have a difficult time finding pants that fit.

What a fun night! Great decorations. Let me know when you are ready to break into that booze bucket. Winner!
These table decorations look beautiful! I heard from Elaine Amman that Vinnie won a bucket of booze. He must have that lucky gene.
