10/26/08 - Baby Shower

My mom, aunt, sister & I threw a baby shower for my cousin Dolores this past Sunday. I posted the invites a few weeks earlier but here are the thank you notes, baby bootie goody bags & hersey kiss flower arrangements that we used for gifts. I also did some Grandmother Brag Books that I've been wanting to do for a long time but couldn't find the albums. I finally ran across them at Dollar Tree on Saturday. I'm really impressed at how much I have learned since we did her bridal shower last year. The shower was supposed to take place almost a month before Dolores was due but the baby had other ideas and was born exactly a month early on Sunday, October 19th. She is absolutely beautiful!

This is one of the games we played. Pretty & Simple. The guests had to guess how many M&M's were in the jar. The correct answer was 311. The new mom won the prize.

These are the Thank you notes with coordinating envelopes. I also stamped a flower inside the card to coordinate it all together.

These are the Grandma Brag Books. I was really excited about how well these turned out. I will definitely be making more in the future.

Kiss Bouquets for guests.

Baby booties that I think almost my entire family played a part in. Mom arranged 3 templates on a page & printed them out. My sister cut them all out and rolled the flowers on them then she put all but 1 or 2 together...my dad had to get in on the fun! I punched the flowers and put the final touch on to finish them off.

Beautiful Baby Faith & Mommy Dolores.

This was the food table. Mom had the bouquet of Roses done up & my aunt made the yummy brownie cake.
