Baby Shower Overload














Well - a great time was had by all. It was truly a wonderful shower and such a blessing to be a part of it. My sister had a great turn out and received so many precious things. My mom said that she'll have to change Campbell twice a day to use all of the outfits she received.

The theme was a mix of country farm animals and the colors were muted shades of brown, cranberry red, and buttery yellow. They were unusual colors for a baby shower, but it had a unique and comfy feel. I designed the invitation using a digital scrapbooking kit. I then decoupaged all of the decor accessories to match. The sign that is on the table is now in Campbell's room.The menu included: fresh fruit, the most delicious sandwiches (ever!), sausage balls, cheese/cracker tray, and super delish cake from Cakes and More.

awww-so cute love all the decorations. she made a haul. The cookies were adorable! I'm glad she had a great turn out. I bet she had so much fun opening everything. She'll have more fun when she has a baby to use all that stuff on too.

Chey-Anne - I am going to post the recipe for the sandwiches for the Super Bowl - let me know if you need it before then...trust me you want to make this sandwich for your shower. It was a HUGE hit. Hey - you were the first person I made the baby bottle cookies for...member??? This was only the second time I used it. Ü
I couldn't have done it without my mom - 50 cookie favors was WORK!

You must be busy! You haven't blogged much lately. Maybe life will slow down, or maybe not!
Hope Uncle Check is doing okay, tell them hi for me. I love them so much, they are so great!
