Hello Everyone! My apologies for not being available for the last few weeks. I am still dealing with the death of my father and am busy with estate business. However, I am planning to be available in May (hopefully before, but will see how things go) for graduations! Please message me to let me know if / how I can help with your party! Thank you for all of the understanding. Blessings, J

Do you know how to make a girl humble? Have a wonderful group of 3 couples win the bid on a dinner prepared by her. Not only did they win the dinner, they had the highest bid of the night, all while helping raise money for the Grimes Store House. Thank you Eric Johansen for thinking of me and for Cyclone Liquors for donating the wine.

Hi Everyone!! I promise, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! This spring / summer has been crazy! FYI-DO NOT remodel your kitchen 3 months before graduation....but I'm happy to report that it is beautiful and I'm ready to get back to doing what I love---making people happy with food! Our daughter was a senior this year and we soaked up every last moment at school, dance and graduation. I had a great time planning her grad party and I'm going to share some of the pics with you! (Better late than never..right?) If you are interested in any of the set ups featured, please let me know! I would love to make your party fabulous as well!
