POST GIRL THYME GARDEN PARTY PICTURES 2015

What a Perfectly Beautiful Day for the Girl Thyme Garden Party!  We all had a great time, from the girl thyme pictures in front of the barn, and taking selfies in front of the vintage garden door (Carol we need a re-do lol), to sharing spiritual shares, so encouraging, and even making our own terrarium to take home!  Sipping on Blue Hawaiians and PIMMMS yummy!  Food theme was "On a Skewer" we had shrimp to salads and even adorable delicious mini bacon cheeseburger skewers!!!  My coconut cream cake and red velvet coconut cream cheese frosting cupcakes were a HUGH hit (I even heard some say best they've ever had - I'm pretty excited about that)!  Then on to the Super Fun Time of Opening our Gifts from our Secret Sister in the Gift Exchange.  Lots, and lots of laughs, hugs and thanks!!!  Then to finish off this already EPIC PARTY we watch movies by projector on to a movie screen made by my hubby outside in the courtyard.  Snuggled up in our loungers, blankets and pillows!  Best Girl thyme garden party yet!  Here is a quick look.  Anyone have pics to share on this post, email to me and I will share them for you!


more to come.....

Please take a few minutes to read over this it is going to be kind of a long introduction because there's a lot of things were going to be doing, so please read through everything and then get back to me with any questions you might have.

Let's get started!
As you noticed on the invitation it said that the party info is on a secret board on Pinterest. So as soon as you RSVP you will be added to the secret board. You will need to go to Pinterest, sign up if not already using Pinterest. Look up Taffy Apodaca, and follow me. I will then send you an invite to the board for our party. It is a "visual" for our party, ie. theme color (what to wear for pictures), food (select what you want to bring on skewers),  I will ask that you don't post to the board its just for information, I've already posted everything there about the party, it is just for your information so we won't be making new post on that board.
Contact me about your food/drink selection!

We will be taking group pictures and so we have a color theme for everyone to wear, so please pick from the colors in the color theme.  Pictures will be taken at 2:30 promptly so that we can then get on with the party and not worry about how we look!
