A Sweet Shower for a Sweet Baby Girl

Somehow, someway I became the official event planner for my old job =~)! Don't get me wrong... I enjoyed every moment of it!
This shower was for Tonya and her sweet baby girl. She decided to go with the ever-so-popular pink and brown. I just can not get enough of it...

I did not get as many pictures of the shower as I would have liked; but I did manage to get a picture of this cute little diaper cake... Another coworkers daughter made it for the shower...Isn't it just a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e?
I loved it! So much so that I promised myself that I would learn how to make one....

Side note: **** If you ever want to learn how to make a diaper cake, YouTube is a wonderful resource!*********

Tropical Baby Shower

I was beginning to get burned out on the same ole' baby shower color schemes, so when this mother allowed me to {do} my thing with the theme I was jumping for joy! Literally...

This past Saturday we were in tropical baby shower paradise as we celebrated the anticipated arrival of baby Zoyie Grace. I will forewarn you that I AM NOT a professional photographer and as badly as I wanted to capture the beauty of the shower... I failed miserably... However, I will share with you what I have and hopefully the next time my eyes and my camera lens will capture the beauty on which they are focused... Until then enjoy the photos of a true amateur....

First off... A little decor...

And what's a baby shower without good eats and cool treats?

And finally the parting gifts from the expecting mother...

Congratulations Tierra!!!! May Zoyie bring you lots of joy and happiness for the years to come!

Baby Door Decor

I had a friend who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in December of 2008. When I went to visit her in the hospital I was so inspired by the door decor that I wanted to create something for her door... Something special... Something unique... And I ran across something that looked like this...

Well, I am an avid scrapbooker and this door hanger really captured my attention. After I left the hospital I visited my local craft store only to find that they did not have one of these in stock. I later discovered that these were only available through Creative Memories... Oh well, on to find something else....

I visited a lss and came across this...

This was perfect for my little project... While,I don't have a picture of that particular door hanger on hand... I do have a picture of the one that I created for Seven...

All that they had to do is add his picture, birth date, time, weight, and length. I was really pleased with how this turned out... Do you have any unique ideas for hospital door decor? Would you care to share?

Seven's Ark

On May 23rd, I gave one of the most creative showers that I have ever given... It was for baby Seven and the theme was Seven's Ark {Yes, I drew my inspiration from Noah's Ark, Genesis 7}.

The following photos are of the centerpieces that I created for the shower. His nursery colors were green and brown so I used brown and white striped ribbon and green and white polka dot ribbon to wrap around the vases. I had a different animal on each cylinder vase.

I really, really enjoyed this shower. The scriptural reference made it really unique. Here are a few other shots that I was able to capture prior to the shower taking place...

First off the petite fours.... We opted to these verses a cake because it is always so much cake left over. They were all that with a bootie on top {literally}!

Next, the game/door prizes... They included everything from body sprays to embellished candles by yours truly...

And finally, the welcome/sign in table {I did these in reveres order didn't I?} Oh, well..... Instead of a guest book we used a book entitled, "The Creation". How fitting??? Everyone loved that idea...

Have you ever used a biblical reference to carry out a theme for an event? What was that theme and how did you carry it out?
