Time Flies!

We have been crazy busy here! A newborn, a toddler who has been sick for about 4 weeks (now has Strep) and my hubby has been traveling alot for work! Whewwww...I can do this!

One really fun thing I was able to work on lately was a baby shower I did the decorations for. My friend Stephanie has her cutie patootie baby boy Beckett right after I had Avery. It was a blast to find inspiration for the shower. The color theme was blue and brown. I saved old mason jars for a couple of weeks and just wrapped them with ribbon, then went to the farmers market and got two bouqets of flowers. Yes, two bouquets filled 8 jars! I made poms out of tissue paper and make pin wheels, that I stuck in the bouquets, out of paper from the $1 Store. This was the best deal I have ever found! Three huge sheets of double sided paper for $1. I had bought it before we even planned the shower, went back a month later and there was one left! I didn't even use all three sheets, what a deal! I bought brown and blue polka dot fabric and made a table runner which looked so cute! The favors were chocolate cupcakes with blue frosting and mini paper pin wheels on top. I ruffled up some fabric left over from the runner and hot glued it to these fabulous brown bags. I got a huge box of these bags for $2.00 at a yard sale! Major score! I think there is about 100 left =)

My girlfriend Kelli did a wonderful job with all the food, despite the fact she is due with her little boy in about 2 1/2 weeks. It was been fun to be surrounded by great friends who have also just given birth to their little boys! We had a great time just chatting and catching up! Congrats Stephanie on baby Beckett!!
