I made this Collage With Thanksgiving in Mind. Thanks giving is Probably My Most Favorite of All Holidays. It just about a Turkey and Family! And I am In Love with Both! It makes me so Happy to know  that My Children will have these Fond Memories of Family.

Our Thanksgiving Menu is  Generally 

a Forgone Conclusion! 

It is Always the Same and You Know ..

We all  Seem to Like it That way!

Tradition! Its a Good Thing!..

~ Under a Halloween Moon Tea Party~

~Maleficent~
" Perhaps Next time.....
We Should Invite 
Maleficent  to the Party."

I Love Parties! So Much Fun to be Had!  

A Great Big Thank You 

to our Lovely Hostess

Anna of Frosted Petunias  

for Hosting this Wonderful Tea Party!! 

It is Such a Wonderful Way to Meet and Make New Friends!

Walt Disneys Sleeping Beauty was one of my favorites as a Girl!
Maleficent Scared the Heck out of Me but I found Her Fascinating!

The Story Behind this Collage was Inspired by a Friend.

I was Planning a Party and Was trying to figure out my Guest List. 

Some I was on the Fence..Should I?..Or Shouldn't I??  

My Good Friend Lorri reminding me ..

"Remember what Happened when they didn't Invite Maleficent to the Party!!!"

I don't know How Long it was before I stopped Laughing about it! 

Every time I Think about it ..It makes Me Smile!

Thank You Lorri!

So In Honor of our Good Friends!! I Made some Buttons to share with You!
