The last couples weeks have been so busy, that I am so proud of myself for regularly blogging despite the craziness. Our puppy comes home in just a couple short weeks (time has really flown by!). I have countless photo sessions (everyone is quickly trying to fit in senior portraits & such before winter sets in completely), school portraits for a private school in the area, and a wedding (that I am really looking forward to) in between all of it. It has been a very busy summer & fall, in fact I think I could use a vacation! Another month or so & hopefully I can take a few days off work (for sewing & just spending time with my family :) In the meantime while I don’t have much of anything crafty to show, I do have some baby shower photos (with a little bit of crafting at the shower) to share… (And more posts lined up despite the craziness! :)
This summer a few of our friends have been expecting, so I offered to throw two of the expectant mother’s we know a baby shower :) We ended up doing a joint baby shower to celebrate the two mother’s since they are close friends. It was actually a lot of fun to put together, although it was nice to have some help in the form of my own mother coming to visit. Since the shower, one of the little one’s has arrived (and I took his newborn portraits last week!) and the other one will be on his way soon :)
I didn’t take a whole lot of photos at the shower, since I was busy trying to be a good hostess. I got a few though of course :)
Little treat buckets to take home…
While I did a lot of the planning, prep, and decorating for this shower – I didn’t have to do a lot of food prep or cooking. Which was amazing, since I am not much of a cook (to say the least :). Friends chipped in to help with food & there was seriously so much yummy food!
(Simple, but cute way to decorate for a baby shower – small little onesies hanging on a clothesline with little clothespins :)
A cutesy card box for each of them to keep cards & keepsakes in from the shower :)
Of course we had to have a onesies & bibs decorating station! :) I cut out a bunch of appliques ahead of time for guests to iron on & also had a few iron on decals & fabric markers for decorating… It was a lot of fun to see how guests decorated these! I wish I had taken a photo of all of them finished & hanging on the line…
My mother was a great assistant & made sure we got to all the cute touches I had planned, including decorating outside on our porch… Loved the floating flowers (which was actually her idea)!
Overall I think the whole party quite the success :)
Okay & can I just say it is official, I am totally addicted to pinterest! I would love to have some more people to follow, so if you are on pinterest leave me a comment telling me your name on there :)
