You're invited to a dinner.

I have to admit - I really do like having family here in town now. Even though my family is straight crazy and every holiday is full of drama, it's nice after 13 years of living up here with no family to now having my mom and my aunt & uncle up here...just a few minutes away from us. We still keep our distance - because, like I said: those people are straight crazy. But I do like to see them at least once a month, well, no more than once a month - heh - and have them over for dinner or something. And I like to make a fuss - make something special, a new recipe for dessert, pretty plates, fresh flowers...and sending out a real invitation instead of calling or e-mailing.

The Garden Variety collection from Cosmo Cricket is perfect for a dinner invite - - and I can't think of anything else to use it for. It's really cute - fruits and veggies - but.....yeah, I'm most definitely challenged in using it for other things. So I guess I'll just host more dinner parties! Those chipboard letters are from BasicGrey - - I've seen people leaving in the insets instead of taking them all out and I thought I'd try it here; gotta admit: I like the look.
