Red Penguins, New Friends & Derby Hats-oh My!

Today I am linking up with my new friends ChrisAnn and Kristin from Love Feast Table!!

Fancy Friday Badge
We met this past weekend at the GE MOMsperience! They are so sweet and fun & even let Jamie (from Mommy’s Camera) and I play a little Red Penguin prank fun on them the last night we were there.

We tucked some penguins into their beds with the help of a fun security guard!

See?

Penguins in the elevator….on their way to………

Bed in ChrisAnn & Kristin’s room :)

(Seriously-this is THE most fun hotel/museum/restaurant! I highly recommend 21C Hotels!!)

Anyway-onto the “Fancy Friday” part of this post!

GE arranged to have us create our own Derby Hats for our dinner at Churchill Downs so the first night we were there we got to play and create.

Here are some pics I took of that process:

 

These are the supplies we were allowed to choose from! And that is Tara from Therapy 4 Roses who was my reader winner! She is SUCH a sweetheart! Hi Tara!!

 

Wendi from Bon Appetit Hon working! How fun! Hot glue, pins, scissors, flowers, ribbon, feathers-oh my!

 

My new friend, Traci, from Beneath my Heart, and two friends from Blissdom: Kristen from High Heels & a Hammer and Allison from House of Hepworths

 

Then we got all dolled up and got on the bus to go to Churchill Downs (it was a funny sight to see apparently because WE, as tourists, got the attention of some other tourists who were like paparazzi and taking pictures of us getting on the bus haha!)

I am kicking myself for not getting everyone’s business card because as a result I completely forgot everyone in this photo’s name except for Heather (in the middle) who is from The MommyHood ! So ladies forgive me please!

And of course I had to get a few pictures of me in my own derby hat, dress and new heels!

First with the iconic Red Penguin (who would in just a few hours end up in Love Feast’s room-gotta love moveable, interactive art!):

 

and on some of the art that was on the sidewalk- cement suitcases! I loved these!!

 

So there is my “Fancy Friday” Derby Hat style!! Head on over to Love Feast Table to link up and/or read the other posts!

Have a wonderful Friday everyone!!

I am also linking up to Insta Friday since every one of this pictures (minus me posing with the red penguin) were taken with my cell phone because I don’t have a cool camera lol)

Have a happy day,

I am a bad blogger since I can only remember Heather’s (middle) name! Heather is from <a href=”http://themommyhood.com/wordpress/” _mce_href=”http://themommyhood.com/wordpress/”>The Mommyhood</a> and is just so sweet! The other two were just as funny &amp; sweet and I am kicking myself for not getting business cards! Ack! Forgive me ladies?
