Table cover} red felt to suggest the red carpet (but please don’t walk on my table!) Paper plates with theatre-related stickers topped by glass plates, and depression glass soup bowls. Plastic hot dog holders with sunglasses (in case you forgot yours). Plastic stemware (but they do have that gold ball in the stem)! Bling in case you forgot yours. Half of an Oscar} A gift from my friend, Susie (maybe if my acting skills were better, I would have received a full Oscar)! “Film Reels”} When I purchased Christmas lights one time, they were wrapped on these round plastic things that I thought looked like film reels.
I’d like to thank my producer, my director, my husband, and my children, for standing behind me as I pursue my acting career, and I especially want to thank each of you so much for coming to visit my blog. Watch out for the paparazzi when you head over to Between Naps on the Porch for links to wonderful Blogville tablescapes. laurie

What a fun table. Encore! Encore!
You deserve a whole Oscar for that Laurie! I think this is my favorite table of all times!!!! The shades in the hot dog holder just crack me up!!!! Now I want to come watch the Oscars at your house some time!
You get my vote!! (As soon as I get into the Academy) This table is so clever, it makes me want to host a rockin' Oscar party next year.
Cheers, Andrea
Laurie,
This is too darn cute. You had a blast creating this, I can tell! The topiaries in the popcorn are too funny. I think you should get an Oscar for this!
Fun film reels and stars! Great table!
Too cute. I have always wanted to host an Oscar party. Yours is great.
What fun your Oscar table is ! How great that you celebrate! :0)
OK this is too cute.. love your creativeity.. I'll be at your house next year for the Oscars and the after party...
What a fun Oscar table!
Yes, ma'am, you deserve a whole Oscar of your very own, maybe even two....for Scenic Design and Special Effects!!!
Please tell me that you and your guests dress in their very best for your event! Nothing like tuxes and long gowns to make you feel like a star!!
(In case I wasn't clear, I absolutely LOVE this table and the whole theme! Awesome, simply awesome!!)
This is just too adorable! I love it!

Fun fun fun, girl I so remember you doing one last year also...how fun is this Laurie...I was thinking about this table the other night and wondered how come you didn't do it again...did you watch the oscars...I found them boring this year...I miss them doing the songs and sining them from the movies...But the gowns were all lovely not as pretty as my Old red robe but heck I was comfortable and got to eat my Ice cream sandwich ha ha!! Hugs and smiles to you girl...Gl♥ria
And the winner of the most imaginative tablescape goes too...I loved this! You are always fun! Joan
Best of Show!
Fantastic and I am not overacting:)
Really creative!! Love, love this theme. What fun it would be to come over on Oscar night with your tablescape. Do you think Johnny will be coming...?
You are so creative. I think it was a wonderful idea to use the oscars as a theme for your table. Now, I would have thrown away those light "reels", but you saw the potential. That is creativity. You win an oscar in my book!
Two thumbs up! I did not see my place at the table. (Oh, I jest...I am not a star *yet*)
Your table so sweet! Love it!
Your decor may be cheesy, but it's really clever and cute. Love it!! I remember a similar post that you did last year. It was one of the first tablescapes that I visited and I thought it was the most clever thing I had seen.
You are so much fun, Laurie. Your tablescapes make me smile all the time. I love the uniqueness and originality of this. Very nicely put together!..Christine
Laurie, this is the most fun table I think I have ever seen. I love it all. The bling and the consession stand are perfect together. So cute and so well done. Love it. Hugs, Marty

Laurie I am sorry to be using your blog post as a place to let you know that little Joel is with the Lord now. He suffered so much but now his suffering has ended. His family is really having a hard time and needs to still be lifted in prayer. You are such a wonderful prayer warrior and you honor God by doing so. I am glad to be able to call you friend,Kathysue
Such a fun post! Sorry to see about 'Little Joel'!
Your mind is always working on over-drive, Laurie! I love this theme. How very clever, dahling....
hugs, Sue
I love this table Laurie! You have the most creative mind. I want to sit next to Steve Martin, hopefully he'll keep me laughing so much that I won't overeat :) Kathy
Laurie...this is awesome!!! I would love to be a "star" for one night at this table. I prommise to NOT walk on the beautiful "red carpet." LOL This is so clever and fun and glamorous! I love it and love your sense of humor! :-)
Hugs,
Susan
Wow Laurie! I am so impressed! You did a great job capturing the glamor of the night! I am sure it was a fun evening and I am thrilled Julia Roberts won!
