peaches and cream


Daughter celebrated her 31st Birthday this month.
She requested a trip to the Kansas City Zoo.
There's a Tea Room in KC that I'd like to take her to in the near future as well.
On her special day she was given freshly baked Macadamia Nut Cookies, Yellow Daffodils, 
and this GAG Gift.

Long story short....when she was a little girl she let a childhood friend 
borrow one of her Barbies and when it was returned to her, 
the dress was the same, but the doll had changed.
The doll was a beat up version of a Barbie that was missing hands.

My Daughter didn't say anything to me about this until recently.
So when I saw a reproduction of a 1985 Peaches and Cream Barbie 
I bought her.
Wrapped her.
Presented her to Daughter.

So at 31 years of age,
 my precious daughter received 
a Peaches and Cream BARBIE.







Yellow Daffodils





~Her FAVORITE~


Beloved,
My prayer for you today is this.....
if for some reason one of your childhood experiences 
was full of anxiety, bitterness, timidity, fear, disappointment, shame, embarrassment, hurt,  etc. 
and it still bothers you and has a unhealthy hold on you
...I am praying that the memory loses it's hold on you.

My prayer is that the LORD 
remove the bondage this thing has on you and He gives you PEACE.

In Jesus Name,
~Deanna~

The tea room sounds like fun; sounds like a good mother-daughter thing for Mother's day. Easter is so late this year, Mother's day will be following on it's heels in no time!

Dd,

What a pretty young woman our daughter is!

Great pictures and great gag gift. I'm glad that we were able to find "peaches and cream".

The zoo sounds like fun, but I think I'll let you girls go to the Tea Room. :)

Deanna...that was a wonderful "gag" gift. I love your outlook on life. I'll bet Ashley loved it.

She will probably leave it in the box and treasure it always.

(Unless her little Buterfly wants to play with it!)

Enjoy this beautiful day my friend!
Love, Linda

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your lovely daughter, she is indeed a Peaches and Cream beauty herself. I think her name is MISS A, so glad you found this extra special gift to give to her, not a gag gift at all in my book!!
How sweet of you to get it for her. I know MIss P will LOVE IT!!!
Hugs to both of you and by all means go to the TEA ROOM!!
I know there are 2 Libraries our Museums in Kansas, we stopped at one and got pics outside as it was closing :>(, the other one it was dark. So that is my goal to get back to those 2.
Hugs 2 U 2 ladies,
jamie

You are so creative and clever! What a wonderful thing you did for your sweet daughter. It looks like a beautiful party!
The KC Zoo is wonderful. I lived in Hutch for 7 years. I miss Kansas so much!
Blessings,

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
