A PERSONAL TOUCH...

HANNAH RAE ANDERSON




Dana's Oldest Granddaugher turned 8

Her baptism date was 1-1-11

Because she is the first and oldest grandchild

she is the chosen one!

Whether the events in your life are birthdays, special awards or events, the special things in life are the paydays we live for.
Here's an idea for your special occasion...

A topiary which I just draped with ribbon and mounted pictures on cardstock then tied to the topiary. This was used as the centerpiece on the buffet table... Of course there was food...

We call these events the

Meet, EAT and Greet!

She got to be a princess...



Pink rose petals were scattered on each table along with framed photos and irredesant shred!

A special crown was sent in the lost package which did not arrived until Monday due to weather and holidays!


But, like we all say some things are worth watiting for.

Hannah worked at the shop all day MONDAY

waiting for the arrival...



A crown made with pearls, glitter and ribbon!

Special thanks to Missy!





Her special baptism charm and necklace...

H on one side for Hannah

your special occasion
