I must be really hungry for spring, because when I was asked to host a table for tonight's Ward Progressive Dinner, all I could think of was spring colors. Last year I promised I'd host this year, but I wishfully believed I would be back in my own kitchen by now. I'm not. Fortunately, they needed a table to stay at the church for those members who had a hard time with stairs and a lot of moving from one house to another, and as a result, I still get to hostess it - just at the church. So this is what I've prepared for that (and to decorate a couple of tables with for the Stake Relief Society Women's Conference in the morning - which is the main reason I made these, but we can keep that as our secret.)
These are the decorations I came up with: an inexpensive paper mache box from Michaels with some colorful scrapbook paper torn and modge-podged over the outsides, combined with a colorful posy bouquet plus one butterfly pick - add some tissue and a big bow, and there you have it!
Okay, I know people have been doing these kinds of things for ages and I am truly a little behind the time. But this is the first time I've ever done it, so I had to share.
I am so ready for spring.
So ready for spring.

It was really hard to leave spring/summer and come back to winter. Darling box. How is the kitchen coming? Or is that a sensitive subject.
Sensitive. Very.
I love it! I haven't seen this before and think it's a great idea!!!
You will always be ahead of me in the crafty department. I am severely incompetent and will never be asked to host a table. I love that you went with a Spring theme. If you find Spring, please point it in my direction.
Love the centerpiece - you are truly amazing in all you accomplish. The picture looks like the table settings were also beautiful!
So pretty! I wish I could have seen in live.
Thanks for doing that!
I am so anxious for spring too...and so are the pretty flowers in my yard!
