The Bridal Shower

Hey guess what?...
I didn't drop off the face of the earth!!!
My computer was down for a while, but I'm back on it now!
Remember me giving a snippet of my cousins bridal shower, and promising more?
Well, here it is!  A few snap shots of a really fun day!

Me and my beautiful cousin Chelsea! I love her!

I LOVED how everything turned out!  It was fun, whimsical and fabulous!

Some of our random table decor.  I love that nothing 'matches' but all works together.

 We had flowers everywhere!  It was awesome, these are my favorite! LOVE 

Did I mention we had enough sweets to leave you comatose for a week?!

The favors turned out pretty cute as well. Those were the tiniest pots ever!  It was hard to find flowers small enough, but we did. (some we pulled from my aunt's yard}

 I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think my 'wedding dress' chair turned out pretty darn cute!

and you know what?...I completely winged it!  LOL!

I made her this apron.  It screams Chelsea!!!  Bright, peace signs, ruffles... it's all there!

I seriously had so much fun putting all this together.  Yes, it was a lot of work, but fun work.

Hmmm, maybe I should have been a party planner...

It's been a while...

Wow!  I have been so busy that I haven't posted anything in over a week!
The last week of my life was all about the bridal shower for my cousin!
I must say it came together quite nicely.  I will have to show you all when I get pictures back.
In the mean time here is a quick shot I got with my phone.

 Now for some catch up! I have been {mostly} sticking to the photo a day challenge, and now I have two weeks to share!  So, here it goes!

Day 8: inside your wallet

Wish I could say it was full of cash, but it's not... just change!

Day 9: younger you

This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my cousin {the bride to be}

We spent so much time together when we were young, we're more like sisters.

Day 10: cold

Apparently this is my cold face. lol.

Day 11: where you ate breakfast

at work next to the window. 

Day 12: stairs

sitting waiting for the rain to start.

Day 13: something you found

this little one decided to go AWOL and was missing for a week.

He finally came back after the crazy thunder storms.

Day 14: how you feel today

Sassy. That is all.

Day 15 I spaced out and didn't get a picture of the sunset even though I was sitting outside staring at it! Fail!

Day 16: Flower

My new Gerbera Daisy plant! LOVE!

Day 17: something you don't like

running out of chocolate... it's a sad thing.

Day 18: hair

of course this would fall on a day I didn't do my hair, but whatevs.

Day 19: orange

isn't she cute! part of our shower decor.

Day 20: something you drew. I didn't space on this one, I was just too stinkin' busy!

Day 21: bottle

champagne bottles at the mimosa station.

Well, that's it for now.  Hopefully life will be less crazy... until the bachelorette party at least!

Baby shower brunch

Last weekend we threw a baby shower for my new sister-in-law.  It couldn't have been a better day.  The weather was perfect, brunch was amazing (thanks to my mother-in-law) and everyone had a great time.
I was so excited to have this shower for her, it meant I could bust out my craftiness in a big way!  Not everything I set out to do made it to the party, but what did was super fun!  So, I thought I'd round up a few pictures and share the crafty goodness that came from this shower. =)
First off there were the invitations, simple but fun...

 

I wanted to hand make all the invites, but when the guest list reached 75+ I started to rethink it. So, I compromised with semi-hand made.  I bought simple invites, downloaded a cute font, and cut out and attached little pennants along the top.

Here are some shots from the shower.

Walkway into the yard.

Table with a bazillion hand made pouffes.

The super cute food cart.

 

Yummy treats.

Onesies decorated by all the guests.

LOVE LOVE LOVE how these turned out.

Love these little birdies.

I can't wait for the next party to come around! ;)
