A Backdrop Decision

It is official friends. After all that food last night (and to be honest..food lately) my pants are too tight. This little lady is stopping things meow (Super Troopers reference = too much husband time). Yeah, that is right. I am going to shed some pounds. Now before you roll your eyes or click to exit my post, I am not going on a fad diet. I am going to start drinking more water, eating better and kicking sweets. My goal is to not eat sugar until my brothers wedding reception in a few weeks. Hey, I can't say no to wedding cake. I do have a healthy self image. I know I will never be a size four but I can always be a healthier, better me. Wish me luck!

How was all your Super Bowl parties? Mine was fun! I made dishes that could be prepared in advance or were real simple to put together. It made for a better clean up. Fun fact: I hate washing dishes. A dishwasher you say? Nope. Don't use one. The water is really hard here in Texas so I opt to hand wash. Besides having to clean up, we had good eats, sweet friends and football. Perfect weekend plus I knew the Giants would win! One of my sorority sisters is studying Art in New York right now and she said that riding home on the subway consisted of people cheering and her neighborhood streets were covered with confetti and toilet paper! How awesome is that?

My brother and his new wife are having a reception in a couple of weeks. They recently tied the knot which you can read about here and are now wanting to have a reception. When I talked to my sister-in-law I asked her what she wanted to decorate with. She told me that they were having a buffet style dinner but would include a dessert table. I have so much decor here at home that I told her not to buy anything and that I would bring everything I have.

I was browsing a few of my favorite sites and started noticing how fun backdrops can be. I saved a few pictures to show you. I love the idea of adding color, a fun DIY or even lights to make a simple table exciting! Which one is your favorite? We have colorful flags, lights, ribbon/tulle, a sign or nothing at all.
