A Life More Beautiful

Back in July I had the pleasure of throwing a Baby Shower for a dear friend.

My original plan was for a rustic-chic theme, I envisioned burlap, rusty tin, lace and pearls.  However, once I started looking for ribbon and embellishments for the diaper cake I had a hard time finding what I had envisioned without spending a small fortune, so I ended up going with more of a Bright & Chic theme for the shower.

I made Tissue Paper Pom Poms using the instructions from Martha Stewart’s site. I tried making these with tissue I purchased at Target, but it was quite thin and tore easily. My perfectionistic self couldn’t handle this and I broke down and ordered premium tissue from Paper Mart. I’m now the proud owner of a rather large collection of tissue, however, I’m sure with all the parties my girls go to, it will be gone before I know it.

Look at all that delicious food!!

Here’s a closer look at the parfaits, they were a big hit.

YUM, YUM, YUM!!

And those ham rolls……..oh my, can you say DE-LI-COUS!! Found the recipe for those here.

Though I don’t have pictures, we did play a few games…….

How Many Diapers in the Diaper Cake?

Baby Gift Bingo & Celebrity Baby Name Match-Up

The final activity was a Blessing Book, I picked out a special book for baby and we all wrote a special message or blessing in it. Here is Grandma-to-be, leaving her special message.

And finally, here I am with Mom-to-be!!

I had so much fun throwing this beautiful shower for my Dear Friend!!
