Soup's on!

You might be thinking that my blog has been a little dull lately because I'm so sleep deprived, I'm spending so much time wrapping up the school year, I'm busy working on my taxes or I'm tackling the 21 loads of dirty laundry in this house.

And that would make sense.

But actually, I've been spending all of my waking moments lately trying to think of recipes that involve canned goods so I can use the empty cans, making artwork out of beans and playing with PhotoShop. And that can only mean one thing.

I'm busy planning a women's event at my church.

This event is going to be amazing. It's called "Souper Saturday", and we will be blessed to hear from three ordinary women who have faced extraordinary circumstances this past year. I have a feeling that God is going to be moving in some hearts on Saturday night, and I'm privileged to get to be part of the planning process.

But I'm a detail person, so I get excited about putting together all the little touches at the last minute. You know how much I love a theme and a color scheme.

And since I can't keep a secret, and I'm bursting with excitement, here's a sneak peek at what I've been up to the past few days.

I'm hoping it will be souper.

    Wow! This looks awesome! I hadn't even considered that there would be a theme and decorations and tables! I would be happy showing up and sitting on the floor. :-) This looks incredible!

    I see you still have that creative streak that I was always so jealous of! You will most certainly have a souper time!
