MUMS!!

 Good morning!!

My topic today?  If you guessed TEXAS Homecoming mums, then you guessed right!!

Yes... Homecoming is a BIG deal around here at the High School Football games!!  And so are Homecoming MUMS!  I know I have blogged about this before (like last year) but, since this is Mylee's Senior Year, I wanted to add this to my blog book that I have printed each year.  This is a wonderful way to record your memories...

The famous Senior "Painted White Overalls"

This is the highlight of the Fall Football season!! It's not just another Friday night football game...Oh no!!!!  Homecoming is the the "EVENT" of the season.

The excitement starts long before kickoff, with ribbons, lots of glitter, cowbells, Painted overalls, and the biggest mums you can find. 

Actually, the Homecoming mums are the heart of it all..  No joke!  Even bigger than the football game itself.

Each mum is a one of a kind masterpiece with personalized names, charms, flashing lights, cow bells and trinkets.  

The girls wear them on their shoulder or around their neck, and the guys sport a smaller version of a mum (called a garter) on their arms. 

The seniors.....the Kings and Queens of school pride.  They are dressed in their traditional white overalls or white pants, perfected painted with team colors and slogans.  On this day, they are living the symbols of school spirit.  

My Favorite Senior!!! 🧡🧡🧡

These mums are certainly not cheap!!  As crazy as it might sound, these things sell anywhere from 

 💸💸 to 💸💸💸 

I have made hundreds of them in the past (when I had my flower shop)

I made them for all of our grandkids when they were in High School...and my grandsons girlfriends...

They are so much fun to make.  

The game was last night and BH won the game 13 to 0.  This is a big WOO HOO to win the Homecoming game!!

Tonight will be the Homecoming Dance.  Excited for these Kiddos!!

Shug....🧡
