I had my first ladies meeting/fellowship at my home this past Saturday, June 21st. It went really well. The ladies all enjoyed the food, so that was good. If you haven't made
these Apple Dumplings, then please stop what you're doing and go make them! They are absolutely delicious! My friend, Pamela, recommended them to me. She said "Valerie, if you make these, everyone will so love you." Well, I want to be "so loved" so I made them. And you know what? I think it worked! I get a lot more smiles and hellos now! ;]
Anyway, while my house looked decent, I stopped my ladies meeting preparations and ran around my house at a frenzied pace, snapping photos. Come on in, and welcome!
The entry way from the carport.

The view as you enter my kitchen from the above entry way. I recently painted above my cabinets and put this apple border on. I love it!! I love red in my kitchen! It's so cheerful! The walls were already red, I just did the green beneath the border. Okay, Terry did the green beneath the border, and I did the border. I gotta be real here.To my left(not pictured) is my laundry area, sink and the stove and fridge are on the right.

The living room. I just got these end tables when we moved in!! I've never had end tables before!
Yay!

The hallway. Not much to say here. :)

To the left of the entry way is the school room. It used to be a carport, but a former pastor closed it in. I love this room! Sorry it's so dark!

Another view of the school room. It needs some decorating. I've got more to do there.

The dining room! I had it set up for the ladies meeting.

My bedroom. I love the wood paneling in this room! The pastor that closed in the carport also added this room, the dining room and another bathroom. What a great guy!

This is the master bathroom. It has two sinks! The shower is in another room.

Laci's room. It used to be a blueish-gray color. Now it's PINK! Maybe a little too pink, but oh well. I plan to do some kind of border or something in here eventually, just to break up all that pink! But until then, you better keep your shades on in this room!

Lauren's and Leslie's room...once again, it's a work in progress!

Mitchell's room is very unique. Two walls have a deer type paneling, and two are wood grain. I didn't know that printed paneling existed! Live and learn!There's also another bathroom down this hallway. I didn't get a photo of it.

This is the other view of the entry way. You can see it's a "catch all" type room. If I don't know where it goes, I put it in here! :)

Ah, yes! The best photo of them all! What good is a house if there aren't any people around to make it a happy place? Here's a photo or two of our ladies meeting. Your first look at some of the sweet faces of Grace Baptist Church.

Here we are doing what I love the most! Eating!! I had a great time...I think everyone else did too!
