I thought at first just a few people to celebrate the beginning of 52 why not!Lets do a garden party we shall call it a JULY SOIREE a few people turned into a rather large group,but no fears all went according to plan.The weather could not have been more perfect!WHAT A GIFT that was; as my little abode would not have fit all of the cast and crew members!I being the BIRTHDAY gal was the STAR for the EVE and my husband the MAIN ATTRACTION as you will see from the following snaps!I had hired an artist to paint THE SET and the party persona………..that way I would have a keepsake for years to come!I hope you enjoy the viewing.So, many pictures to pick from……….hope you enjoyed the show!xoxoxox
