Yesterday, I hosted a baby shower for my dear friend, Elissa. It was such a nice day and after the shower, Elissa and I went to get pedicures and manicures together. I loved spending that time with her. We cannot wait to meet little Jack Mason!
P.S. I am still in the "playing around" stages of the blog design. I am learning a lot and practicing some things. So, this header is not a final product at all. It is simply my very first attempt.
How gorgeous everything looked! I just love showers! They are always so much fun!

ReplyDeleteLet me just say....your home is gorgeous!!!
Everything looks so beautiful!! You have such a gift in decorating and hosting!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo glad you posted the pictures. When you said you were closing the blinds for a little to plan a shower, etc. I just knew the shower would be perfect (not b/c of shutting the blinds - but because everything you do is done with class and elegance). I love the cake, the favors are so creative - I am just impressed throughout! Great job!

Wow! It looks like the shower was a huge success! The train theme was very cute and the cake was adorable too!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S a baby shower! What a wonderful host you are! I have one to go to next Saturday, but it will pale in comparison. Baby showers are always a blast though, aren't they?

I love your blog! I just found it. Question though...I saw you've scrapbooked in the past. Me too, are you still scrapbooking or just blogging? Do you know if you can save a blog, like on a cd or something? Also, I love your header how did you do that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the advice!
Jennifer
OH what a beautiful shower you hosted for your friend. She certainly is glowing. How sweet of you to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a precious little life with such a beautiful shower. Your decorations are exquisite. It is obvious that much love went into this shower and I am sure your dear friend appreciated it so much.
ReplyDeleteYour house is just beautiful. I love all of the windows.
Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteNo time for scrapbooking right now. Yes, there is a place that will print and bind your blog. I forget what it is called but you can google it. I'll look it up and try to post it soon.
I made the header with some digital scrapbook materials and lumapix. I am such a novice (just started today) but it is pretty easy to figure out.
Hope that helps.
Kim
I forgot to mention that I would love to add you to my blogroll.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet cake. I love the letters I think I am going to try to make some for when Lilly Rae comes home. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteKim, I'm so glad you posted pictures of the shower, everything is just wonderful! I'm sure it was a lot of fun and very special for Elissa.
ReplyDeleteI liked the part about manicures and pedis afterwards! :)
Congratulations on her upcoming arrival!
Kim,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful celebration! You and that cake looked fabulous!
Now, take a breath and relax!! :)
Hugs,
Diana
Everything looked so elegant! You did a great job! I LOVE the cake!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso the blog looks great! Getting ready to over haul mine too!
Debbie

ReplyDeletethanks a lot for you explanation...
We don't have such celebration in Spain....( once I saw it in a film called "Gilmore girls"...but it was a disaster¡¡¡)
Your friend is very lucky to have a friend like you.
Thanks a lot again.

You will never believe this but I ordered these tins for my daughter shower. Are they as cute as they look?
ReplyDeleteLea
Beautiful shower! And, I love your blog header... how are you doing that (just saw your comment, so never mind on that one)? I would love to create my own and am trying to figure all the HTML code for the background. Also, what photo editing software do you use?
ReplyDeleteReceived my first pinafores for my Sophie... thanks to you, I am now addicted to etsy!
