Life Is A Party!

Many years ago,  when I embarked upon married life, I began to discover things about myself.  I found that I loved traveling, decorating, crafting, sewing, collecting vintage glassware and china, and hosting parties.  Because people interest me,  I love discovering their experiences, adventures, the things the Lord is doing in their lives, and the things that interest them and ignite their passion.  Passion for something is amazing!  It can lift you to the most incredible places and experiences.  Passion is a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm or desire for anything. I find hosting parties and other social gatherings the perfect way to learn about others and more.

In 1984, I gazed upon the front cover of Martha Stewart's book, Entertaining.  I was enthralled with the teal colored glasses contrasted with the orange poppies on the cover.  I had to have that book!  Once purchased, the discoveries within the pages ignited a fire of all things beautiful, particularly the colored glass.  I love glass, dishes, teacups, teapots and anything that can be uniquely used for entertaining. Within her book, the unique idea of roses frozen in ice, enclosing a bottle for serving a beverage, so impressed me.  After many attempts at collecting things, I have come to the conclusion that if you are going to collect something, it might as well be something beautiful, practical, and that you can see and use often.

That is how my love of entertaining got started!  I'm a good cook, not fabulous!  If I find a recipe that is delicious and easy, I treasure it, and within these pages I will attempt to share what I have learned about recipes, entertaining, and hosting parties.  I derive the most pleasure from my guests sitting at decorating tables designed to delight them. Something no restaurant could provide.  The possibilities are endless! I blog as a hobby not a business so you won't be interrupted by endless pop-up ads. I conduct classes about crafting and entertaining each month just  for fun with seven dear friends. You can find my blog hosting many pictures at MakeItDelightful.com

I simply desire to have fun celebrating life with others sharing what I've learned along the way as well as discovering what creative others have come up with to experience and enjoy.  I hope as you view these pages, you will find something inspirational in what I share. If you feel lead to, I'd be honored if you share my writings with others who share our passion.
