It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Whew, what a week it's been and it's only Tuesday.

But with much exhaustion is MUCH excitement—it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas this week with JLM's Christmas Jubilee Event! I'm the VIP Shopping Event Chair this year (see last year's CJ post here). We've been working all year on this event, and it's finally here...thank the Lord! :)

Here's a sneak peek of the merchants moving in tonight. It's amazing to see this place transform so quickly. Oh, and I'm so excited about these two new merchants this year: Caroline Reehl Ceramics and Carter & Company!

Merry Merry!

Girls Night Out Event

Whew, what a week it has been! Last week I was busy with Junior League's Christmas Jubilee event. I was the Girl's Night Out Chair, which was an event on Friday night with a fashion show by Private Gallery, Makeup by J.Edward, drinks, hors d’oeuvres and door prizes. This ticketed event allows guests to shop and socialize in the private shopping event and raises money for Christmas Jubilee, JLM’s largest fundraiser.

We've been preparing for this event since May, so it was wonderful to see everything come together. The event was a great success and lots of fun!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this event such a success, and thank you c spire for all of these wonderful photos!

Goodwill Easter Seals playground

We selected the Goodwill Easter Seals playground at Springhill Presbyterian Church for our Provisional Class project. I had the privilege of working on this playground with the Junior League of Mobile. It was a very special, meaningful project, and now children with disabilities can play on this beautiful, colorful playground.

The Goodwill Easter Seals preschool playground is used by children with special needs. The children receive year-round programming and education in an inclusive preschool setting.

Picnic tables and the playhouse received a fresh coat of paint. New swings, including high back swings, were added, as were a balance beam and ride-on toys.  The provisional class also purchased and painted wooden train, consisting of an engine, two cars and a caboose for the children to enjoy.

Did someone say spray paint??

And special thanks to Lucy Pryor Brady, who put so much time and effort into making this project happen. She received Provisional of the Year, which was very deserving!!
