I'm one of those people that needs to learn to say no. But, always feel badly when someone comes to me, begging, for help. So then I usually say yes, reluctantly. This past weekend was one of those times. Somehow, I was roped into chairing our yacht (the term, yacht club is used very lightly here. It's a barn where people store their sailboats and motorboats. It has a beach and picnic tables. White pants, docksiders or blazers are NOT allowed!) club's member-guest. I guess a small part of me wanted to do this event because I had seen this wonderful
diy project at a few stops around blogland.
So my trusty paper cutter and I became quite close. In about eight hours time
these, turned into
these.
Flowers were gathered from neighbors' gardens. Thanks to my friends, Nancy and Debbie for letting us cut their hydrangeas.
The band played and people danced...despite the heat and the rain and the humidity!
The lights were turned down low and people ate yummy food.
(not much left over, which made me extremely nervous)
And hopefully, everyone had a wonderful time.
