Rehearsal Dinner Invites And Doggy Biscuits

My Son and grand dog Dora were visiting from DC last week so, it was a perfect time to make dog biscuits for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner since I had a dog taster right on premises

Let me explain...My Son is getting married Thanksgiving weekend, and I'm hosting the rehearsal dinner at an outside cafe close to my home in downtown Orlando

My Son loves his dog Dora and since it's an outside cafe, puppies are allowed, so I'm having a 

PUPPY BAR for our doggy guests

I did a post HERE on the doggy bags I made as party favors 

I wasn't sure what treats I was going to put in the bags, then the sweet folks at

Cloud K9   

Read my post and sent me dog cookie cutters ....

.....And cellophane bags....How nice was that!!!

They Also gave me the link to CopyKat Recipes who posted this super simple recipe to make dog biscuits.  Now, girlfriends, I feel a lot more comfortable holding a paint brush than a spatula, so if I say this is easy.....It is!

Here's the ingredients

My grand dog, LOVED them!

 I will definitely make these again.  

My brother told me he has a  co-worker that makes up cellophane bags of dog treats every year as Christmas gifts for co-workers with dogs....What a great idea!

Speaking of Christmas gifts Cloud K9, not only has cookie cutters of all makes and models of dogs, they have tons of doggie, gifts and clothes too!

Before I leave you, I want to give you an idea for what you can do with  any left over dough.........You could free form! 

Oh no, my Mom reads my blog and she doesn't like potty (Or in this case poopy) humor.........Sorry Mom, I couldn't help myself!

Happy Creating!

Thank you Cloud K9

Projects For The Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

Many of you have asked how the wedding plans were going, I can't believe my sons wedding is less than 4 months away!  So, I thought I would show you a couple projects I have been working on for the rehearsal dinner

The Rehearsal dinner will be at a local outdoor cafe around the corner from my house.   It's where the kids spent a lot of time when they lived in Orlando before moving to DC.  This is going to be a vintage themed, relaxed, dress for the weather, (Pretty nice weather in Orlando in November) dining under the stars, event. 

I made one of these vintage book candle holders way back in November right after the engagement.  Yep, crazy excited Mom...... I was already planning the rehearsal dinner in my head.

I was trying to think of something unique and different for table centerpieces that stayed with the vintage vibe, the full tutorial is HERE.  After I drilled out the holes for the candles and decorated the cover I added ribbon and vintage brooches.....A little shabby and a little bling!

The books will be center pieces on the large tables. For the smaller tables and scattered around the venue I made waterslide decal pictures of the love birds and put them on votives.

The waterslide decal tutorial is HERE, I printed pictures on the decals then put them on votives

I have a lot more wedding projects to show you.....Hope you don't mind a little wedding DIY between "Regular" DIY!?

Happy Creating!
