Our Gemstone for Girlfriends Weekend is amethyst/purple...I'm sure with Mardi Gras and LSU we can come up with some great table decorations and costumes!
Greetings fair Queens!
As I am working fast and furious on Girlfriend Weekend, I am now compiling a list of the gemstone colors you are choosing as your theme for the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Wizard of Oz Theme at Girlfriend Weekend 2010, that's Saturday, January 16, 2010.
Yes, that's right, each chapter is to select a gemstone color for their theme and come up with some amazing costume, think Goodwill, Salvation Army, perhaps that old bridesmaid dress that you were never going to EVER wear again. We have so many chapters coming we will have duplicate colors but I know each will be amazing and unique. Each chapter will get a table and you are to decorate to represent your chapter and to go with your them. Now I know some of the chapters are thinking more a Wizard of Oz theme and girls, whatever, you go for it!
The Pulpwood Queens and Timber Guys of East Texas have selected EMERALD and going for a Wizard of Oz theme too but I am taking us out of the competition as we were last year's winners. We want everybody to have a chance at winning!
As you know who were there, The Pulpwood Queens of Katy, Texas BROUGHT IT ON last year for the contest and I can honestly tell, you, the were the "living" end. Sorry girls I could not resist the pun, see photo attached!
More to come but let me know your gemstone color and are we going to have some BIG TIME FUN!
Truly,
Kat
The Pulpwood Queen
