How about this fun playroom for the kids! The green little sofa is actually two crib mattresses stacked on top of each other and covered in a funky green fabric. I wish I had seen this idea years ago!!
Okay...this is really kind of fun!
Love the idea of using $1.00 store salt a pepper shakers, toothbrush holders and sugar shakers for flower vases! Use flowers from the grocery store or your own backyard!
Have an old drawer to a dresser that does not function anymore? Turn it into a magnetic board. BHG put a piece of galvanized metal inside the drawer and then glued some beautiful scrapbook paper over the metal and hung it on the wall for a new spin on a magnetic board.
Makeover a redwood planter box by adding legs and some trim pieces and painting it a bright fun color!
Not only did she send me the apron but look at the most adorable gift tag that came with it! Yes she made this too. How cute is this!
Then we set the table using our "manly" dark brown almost black place mats with white square plates on them. Then we got out the clear bubble glass goblets and placed them on the table as well. I had the glass apothecary jar filled with these fun porcelain white balls that have black letters on them sitting on my sideboard and we placed that in the center of the table with some of these fun black wooden decorator items that I bought at Hobby Lobby $2.50 each!! 
Emily saw these fun fish napkin ring holders sitting a drawer and decided that there were perfect for our "manly" tablescape. She pulled the white napkin through and then put the silverware in between the napkin and the napkin ring. The table came out looking perfect...not fru fru at all but nice and "Manly" for our special man. he he he
Here he is reading the most precious card that Emily made for him. Very simple but the words were so heartfelt that I think if you look very close there is a tear in his eye.
This is the Father's day meal. Grilled Tuna steaks with fresh Mango salsa, Grilled asparagus, broccoli salad (made with turkey bacon by the way and it was good), and a little bit of chicken pasta salad. It was all scrumptious.
Then for dessert....My hubby loves chocolate and Ice cream so we made him a Chocolate Lava Cake and topped it with creamy vanilla ice cream and a few fresh raspberries.
What are gals doing for your man for Father's Day this year? 
Look at the cute fabric she made it out of. I can't wait to wear it and cook up something fabulous!
I will post myself wearing it as soon as I get it in the mail. I love all these giveaways from so many generous sweet ladies out there in blogland. I am still trying to decide what I will do for my giveaway... 
My oldest daughter.... Madeline and her dad actually put together most of these decorations while I prepared the food with my mom and mother-in-law sister and sister-in-law.
We used Emily's high school T-shirts and Sweat pants to decorate the table and outdoor space by hanging some of them with tape in the windows.
Don't you just love how cut up watermelon always looks so beautiful! My mom made it look like a flower.
Here is a picture of the high school t-shirts hung up along with her gigantic MUM (the silvery thing hanging up in the background with long ribbons.)
t is a Texas Oklahoma tradition.
The kids waiting for the festivities to start! 
Since her school colors are red white and blue we brought out the flags to add some color as well.
You can see more of the Asian lanterns mixed with white lights and blue and white tulle flowing from the ceiling. 
We served some yummy grilled hawaiin chicken, corn on the cob, yams, broccoli salad, watermelon and a delicious drink made from Limeaid and 7-up with lots of crushed ice.
At Emily's school they make "Senior Roalty pants"..they paint their jeans and iron on fabric letters to make them festive. We had to hang them up as well.
Here is our delicious corn and yams getting ready to be grilled.
How about this for ingenuity from my cute hubby!! We did not have anything to put water bottles in and he looked in the garage and found one of these bushel baskets and lined it 
with a trash bag by stapling it to the sides. Added lots of ice and water bottles and hellooooo. Fabulous! 
Emily and her Pal Madi made the dessert for the whole gang. Fruit Pizzas!!!
Can you say yummmm!! The raspberries were on sale for a $1.00 a basket? (whatever that is called). 
After we ate dinner we all went to a free outdoor concert 
where a Salsa band was playing and we all got up and danced and it was so much fun!
Congtatulation to our Cute Emmy-Sue! You have done well and I know you will go on to do many more great and fabulous things.
