Kylee's 16th Birthday Party

My niece, Kylee, had her 16th birthday party on July 30th.  Part of it was held outside.
It was an Anne of Green Gables theme.  It was a beautiful party and Rachel, Kylee and Autumn put a lot of time and effort into it!


All over, they put little signs from the book and the movie.  This was the Haunted Wood.



Lake of Shining Water


Everywhere you would find books from the author, L.M.Montgomery.


Autumn made this K with beautiful little flowers.



Old-fashioned pens and candles



The gift table.


What a cute idea!  Bouquet of flowers with an old-fashioned hat and tea pot surrounded by pages of Anne of Green Gables. :)  So fun!



Beautiful table setting!







Each place setting had a plate, tea cup, real handkerchief, fan, name card and napkin with a beautiful flower spray.






One of my favorite parts of the movie - a rake and 20 lbs. of brown sugar.  Ha!!





The food table.




Loved the old-fashioned sewing machine and table!


And the old books, slate, pen...Hey Carrots!






The craft table to make flower crowns.

Then we went inside and played an Anne of Green Gables trivia game that Autumn created especially for the party with movie clips and personalized answer sheets.  She did a great job and we had a lot of fun trying to answer the questions!

Again, great job to Rachel, Kylee, and Autumn who worked so hard to put this party together!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
