Ok, so before I get to the main purpose of this post, there are a few disclaimers:
1. No, I don't scrapbook, nor do I condone it.
2. No, I don't have my own Etsy shop that I use to sell handmade flower headbands.
3. No, I don't wear a bump-it, nor do I condone its use.
4. No, I don't wear jeans with bedazzles on them, nor do I own a bedazzler.
However, I do love designing, planning, and throwing parties, even the cutesy kind! My latest endeavor (with a lot of help from my sisters and mom) was a safari themed baby shower for Jane that I threw on Saturday, August 13th! It turned out soooooo cute!!! I cooked all the food (yes, despite popular belief, I can cook!), Cracy managed the baked goods, and Jane and my mom helped decorate!
*5th disclaimer - Yes, I'm very proud of myself and think I'm pretty fancy. If that offends you, get over it!
So, now to the good part...the pictures! Hope you enjoy my boasting! :-)
The first one is of the Mommy-to-be herself opening gifts!

My favorite element of the shower: the thank you candy bar! It turned out so well!
Well, that's all for now I guess... maybe we'll have another blog post in another 4 months. :-)~XOXO~

Mmmmmmm candy. Good job party planning person!
ReplyDeleteI for one am PISSED about the candy bar. Lots of leftovers+me having zero self control = one really bad situation.
ReplyDeleteEverything looked fabulous! You are really talented!
ReplyDeleteI freaking love you! I wish I was there to celebrate. I would have eaten all the candy to save Dan.
