Nicole brought her adorable nephew Aidan up to hang out. He helped pass out candy and generally entertained us. Doesn't he have the most gorgeous eyes?

For throwing these movie nights together pretty much at the last minute they have been greatly successful! I'm a little sad that this Saturday {september 4th} will be our last for this year. We'd hoped to have one in October but it will just be too cold........But this Saturday we're showing the WIZARD of OZ, what a great way to welcome fall. So pack your lawn chairs and a few extra blankets {it got a wee bit chilly at our last movie} and we'll see you this Saturday on Battle Alley in downtown Holly.

A huge thank you to The Holly DDA & The Holly Area Community Coalition for co-sponsoring this great new Holly event! We also need to acknowledge the fabulous downtown Holly businesses that over the last several weeks have spent countless hours planning, organizing, purchasing concessions, banners, flyers, equipment & the movies, sending out press releases, passing out flyers & so much more. Thank you, Something Blue Bridal Boutique, Morgan's Boutique & {moi} Kel Leigh Coale Photography & Design. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did. And mark your calendars for the next movie. We're collaborating with the Holly Police Department on August 7th for their Safety Day at Cyclone Park. We'll be showing Bee Movie at dusk {9:20ish}. Hope to see you there!
{a few photos of the prep....tables lined up with items for the bags, nicole -from morgan's boutique- helped distribute the balloons. i love that she let me take a photo of her crazy static-y hair from the balloons. she braved the wind & had to untangle each set of balloons she delivered -over 100- & as a result has now developed a deep hatred for all balloons.}
{the studio before the masses descended...i should have photos of the ladies waiting in line but we were so busy there was no time for picture taking at that point. nicole -something blue- had a trunk show of local bridal accessory designer arbie goodlfellow.}
{and i had some yummy cake bites from the appetizer lady -jacqui blackwood-. well they looked yummy, they were gone in about 15 minutes. and i had to show the photo of my brother-in-law galon. he rode his bike (as in bicycle) downtown in the pouring rain to see what we've been working on for the last month. it's only a 3 minute ride but the dude was soaked.}
{and the last pic is angel & savanah, mother & daughter who braved the wind, rain & hail to check out our little event. they were so funny i told them i had to get a pic & add them to the blog post. angels whole left side is drenched because as she put it, she had to share the umbrella with her skinny daughter (who stayed dry) and only her right side was under the umbrella. they had us in stitches they were so funny. they left with savanah telling us, "we're like the osbournes only no one believes it. especially when we tell them my mom is a pastors wife.}
It was a great night! Thanks to everyone who braved the elements. I really need to thank Nicole Saunders, Nicole Kilpatrick & Holly Jablonski for all their hard work helping to organize this event. And a big thank you to my sister & mom as well as Sandra Klevin {holly chamber of commerce} for helping pass out bags! Ladies Night Out wouldn't have been the success it was without your help, thanks ladies!
{here's the bag}
{I also designed the bags...simple & cute!}
{love the way the frozen hearts turned out, thanks cathy for freezing them & jenny for hanging them!}
{love the way they glow in the evening light}
{the holes in the snow around the tree are from me climbing in it to get the shots of the ice hearts. nicole threatened to take a photo of me taking a photo of the hearts...i guess i looked pretty funny knee deep in snow, hunched under the tree. what i won't do to get a good shot!}
