Birthday Gala

Digging deep for whatever self-control I can find to avoid eating my leftover piece of cake from last night... because first this baby needs a nutritional breakfast. But that doesn't mean it won't make a delectable afternoon snacky.
Last night we went to Dear Lizzie, the cutest boutique & bistro I've ever stepped these swollen ankles into, for their 5 year Birthday Gala. Collin came with me, with the understanding that there would be sweets & boy there was! Not to mention a live band & of course shopping shopping shopping! I talked him out of those lace pants-thank goodness! ;)
Needless to say, Laura and her wonderful side kicks dazzled us like they always do!

Thanks Margie for the photos...! I'm definitely going to cover a skeleton with glitter this weekend. Hello Modge Podge!

PS Thanks for the comments on my Little Black Dress pages.

This is a strange question, I know, but is Dear Lizzie boutique and Dear Lizzie Liz Kartchner one and the same? Or is it coincidence that they have the same name?

Hi ann,
not a strange question at all! Dear Lizzie boutique is owned by Laura Jarman and it's in Highland, Utah. I just love it and have nothing to do with its fabulousness.

Dear Lizzy, for me, started with my column in CK in 07 after winning Scrapbooker of the Year. Then it became the name of my blog and a product line with American Crafts.
Thanks for asking :)

Yay!! So glad you shared pics, I totally loved Dear Lizzie while there for Spark! Brought back some jewelry, shoes (two pairs) and some jeggings!! Love that place!!

Would have been totally funny if Collin had actually modeled those leggings, ROFL
