Potting A Pot Properly
May 30th
11am
Grantsville
Exact address will be given when you RSVP
Sue will be hosting this month and teaching us how to properly plant a pot or planter box. When you RSVP you will be sent a small survey about where your pot will be going and what size it will be. This is important so that your plants can be purchased and brought to the party by Sue. We would like to keep the size of the pot pretty general 6"-21" in size (and it needs to be brought to the party so keep that in mind) The size of the pot will also dictate your pricing. Please contact me or Sue with any questions or concerns. This is a new party for us so we will be working out the details as we go along.
Here are a few things we know:
The survey will need to be complete 1 week before the party so that your plants can be ordered and here on time for the party.
There will be a variety of colors, a tall plant, a hanging/cascading plant and anything else that will fit in your budget and pot.
You will need to transport your pot to and from your home and it will need to be purchased 1 week prior to the party so that you can properly fill out the survey.
Remember that soil and any additional supplies needed for your pot will be added into your budget.
You will need to pay Sue upon your arrival before you start planting any of your flowers/plants.
I am willing to meet up with any of you the week or so before to purchase your pot/planter box if that will make you feel more comfortable. (I think I am going to have the husband make mine out of pallets but I'm down to go shopping!)
RSVP's are extremely important for this event! You can RSVP by leaving a comment below, emailing mrsleslieday@gmail.com, texting me if you have my number or through Facebook.
I will post more information if it is needed.
As for some updates. I realized today that I haven't been doing any follow up pictures (mostly because they get trapped on my phone between hundreds of pictures of my kids or I'm so involved with the ladies that I forget to take pictures period.)
So here is what I have from this year:
February we did My Favorite Thing and it was so much fun! I have to limit the attendance to this party to 4-5 people to keep the cost manageable. This year we had 4 ladies attend. We each brought our favorite dish/dessert to pass and a $5 or less gift for each lady. The theme was My Favorite Thing so we all had our favorites to share! I'll admit, this was one of my favorite parties because I got some neat things! I took the picture of the items today- so I apologize that they are all used and not fresh!
This was like a mini Christmas! I can't wait to do it again! Everyone wrapped their favorite things up so nice and we ate mint brownies and Rice Krispies Treats and and and... I may just have to throw another one just because!
Britt- Coffee Mug
Danielle- Wallet (At least that's what I got. She did something different for everyone)
Laura- Glitter Chapstick
Leslie- Rubber Hair Ties
March had 2 events! One was a Pedicure at Cameo and the other was a Color Me Mine event with the kids!
I loved having 2 in March! It was fun to be with the adults only, then have the kids come join for the next! I wish I would have taken more pictures at both events! I was so consumed with the task at hand that I was too relaxed and focused that I just didn't complete picture taking very well. If you have pictures that you'd like me to post please send them to me. Thanks!
1st was Pedicures. This was so much fun! I love Cameo. It's my favorite place to get pedicures. It's hit and miss for the actual pedicure (because they are students) but they always do the paraffin wax and the environment is calm. You also get to sit on a big bench perched up right next to all your friends. This time was one of my favorites because the students we had were involved in the conversations and the whole room was talking about the same things. It was like we had double the friends come! Plus the ladies that came are like my sisters so that added to my enjoyment!
Did you know that for Mother's Day Cameo does 1/2 off of gift cards!? This is how I pay for my pedicures every year! Spend $30 on a gift card that is worth $60! Here is the picture I sent to my sweet husband who said- "You can go get your own gift card! That place is full of crazed women!" Haha! Looks like I will be online on May 6th.
Then a few weeks later we went to Color Me Mine with the kids. I was pretty excited about the turn out! They even made sure we were in the party room! That was a perk I didn't expect! I wish I would have taken pictures of everyone's before/after. If you have your stuff back and don't see the picture below please send me your completed item(s) so that I can post them. We had so many creative ideas and kids that just went for it! I absolutely love seeing people create their kind of art. We are all so different! It's pretty much my favorite thing! Everyone steps out of their comfort zone and creates. Love, Love, Love!
I love making new friends so please come and bring someone with you!
See you soon!
