Vintage Themed Ball

Karaoke with Nina







Learning to Swing Dance!

My decorating partner Elaine

With the girls who helped plan the ball

You might remember last year when I decorated for this masquerade ball.  We loved the dramatic look and feel of the fabric columns with lights down the center, so this year, with a different theme in mind, we changed up the tables and decor for a vintage themed ball.  I never attended the ball last year, so this year was a treat to eat a delicious catered meal, learn a little swing dance, join in with some karaoke (watching, not singing), and have fun with friends.

LOVE the lights! and i agree with nuit, dee and dawn (hee hee- dee and dawn... don.)- you are gorgeous in these pictures! that black dress is amazing!
as far as cameras go, if you're comfortable with sony and they work for you, then i would say get a sony. i'm always an advocate of canon too. an XT model is good for beginners and you can also work your way into more manual setting once you're comfortable enough.
happy holidays to you and your family, melissa!
