MY BABY SHOWER!

I just realized the other day that I had completely forgotten to post about my WONDERFUL baby shower!

The theme was elephants... no surprise to anyone who knows me and the colors were orange and blue! 

It was the perfect event hosted by three amazing friends! I'm one lucky chica. 

Enjoy the photos and if you are wondering the source for anything just let me know and I will get the info for you.

The one thing I do know is that the flowers were custom arrangements from Wegmans! They truly did such an amazing job! So turn to them the next time you need something!

 

Loved the Animal Cookies and Sugar Peanuts that guests could take home with them. I also loved the cute invitation! 

Photo of the little man in my belly! This is now on the bookcase in his room. 

Wishes for Hunter. I especially cherish the wishes that Emma wrote down!

Little Carter booties with an embroidered elephant on them. SOOO cute! These were the first socks that Hunter wore.

Emma and Matt's cousin! Two very beautiful girls 

Yummy yummy cake

 

Emma helped open all of the gifts

 

BIG SISTER Emma shirt... and a little bodysuit for Hunter!Thank you HOLLY!

Sadly my mother-in-law was unable to attend in person but she sent this GREAT camo outfit. It was one of our favorites on Hunter! So sad that he has now outgrown the outfit.

 

Great photo with my WONDERFUL mom and Emma!

 

Matt's Aunt was so amazing and opened up her beautiful home for my shower!

My great friends. I'm not sure what I did to deserve such wonderful people in my life!

DIY Easter Towels

I have an AWESOME craft to share with you today! In fact I think this is my first truly unique idea that I have come up with and I'm pretty excited about it! And if you have seen something like this before on the Internet... DO NOT TELL ME. I would like to stay blissfully ignorant and think that I came up with it on my own!

Here is what I did...

I made some DIY Easter Towels! I know not ground breaking but again I'm excited!

** Side note: I did this with my "Do not use" guest towels in the bathroom. So they are decorative towels only.** Matt hates these towels because their only purpose is to look pretty!

Here is what you will need:

- Two Towels
- 2 pieces of felt
- Needle and Thread
- Hot Glue Gun
- 2 Poof ball... not the technical term but that is what I'm calling them

First get your bunny template from 504 Main... print and cut

Lay your bunny template on a piece of felt

 Trace the bunny with a pen

Cut out the bunny

Get your needle and thread

I am using some of the GREAT Brother thread that Matt bought me when I got my sewing Machine. 

I love that it includes 20 great colors!

Next, I got together my towel and supplies

Placed the bunny in the center

and got my sew on... I did about 10 stitches around the bunny at various points...

 

Goal is to not make too many stitches because after Easter I will cut the thread and remove the bunny easily...

Now for the finishing touch... get your glue gun out and attach your bunny tail...

The end result is SUPER cute and I love that after Easter I can easily remove and the towels will be exactly as they were before!!!
