Creating An Atmosphere That Says Special...

Getting Ready...

This little phrase can be packed with so much;

As we all have to get ready for so many different things

Getting Ready must apply to certain things we do daily;

Some things must be put in a special order for

School, work, parties and even getting out the door for a function.

So many people never really prepare for anything;

I always laughed at the saying,

"We fly by the seat of our pants"

And I do get that saying;

Sometimes being spur of the moment can work out better and smoother

"Then a well oiled machine"

But the point I was aiming for is this;

Special Occasions

We have all gotten so relaxed and anything goes belief,

We can miss the preparation of making things

Extraordinary...

And I can say that this applies to even a quiet dinner at home!

I believe it is an art to create an atmosphere that says special.

I know we can all get so busy we completely forget about,

Making things appear to be special...

Even preparing to have tea or coffee can be made into a very

Special and noteworthy portion of one's day.

I think we need to put forth some effort into presentation!

Even a glass bowl of something sweet on a table.

A tablecloth that covers your table.

A napkin that is decorated for the season we are in.

Serving your beverage in a real glass.

Setting a flat dish with some dinner candles to light.

Using your best and giving your best;

Can be easier than you think...

Get busy and clean up the kitchen and your sitting area...

Invite someone over for a dinner.

Bake something delicious and put it in the freezer!

Buy some food items that are on sale this time of year!

Elegance can be very affordable...

Happy Planning

Getting Ready is part of the whole process!
