St. Jude Chili and BBQ Cook-Off

Our final stop on October 10 was the St. Jude Chili and BBQ Cook-Off at Pedigo Park in Livingston! Randy and I enjoyed finishing our day supporting a wonderful cause—and these two beautiful cactus displays with their wooden stands came home with me after I placed the winning bid at the auction! 🌵❤️

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible. What a wonderful way to end a day out in our community!

Purse Bingo Slumber Party

On October 8, I had the pleasure of sponsoring a Tory Burch backpack and crossbody bag for Polk County Purse Bingo! My bestie Niki and my grandson’s girlfriend Kylie joined me for an evening full of laughs, friendship, and bingo.

The theme was a slumber party, so of course I put my crafting talents to work and made my own custom pajama pants and shirt! It was my first time attending, but it most definitely won’t be my last. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a fun evening! ❤️
