***Baby Shower***

Hey! I wanted to share some pictures with you all of my sister's baby shower I hosted this weekend. We ordered food from Honeybaked Ham, they have amazing sandwiches! We also got their pasta salad and beans delish! 

I made the baby carriage out of a watermelon to hold the fruit, the fruit dip to go with it is one package of cream cheese and one jar of marshmallow creme. If you make it always make two batches it goes fast! This time I had enough dip but not enough fruit! LOL

We also had a 7 layer bean dip that my Grandma loves to make and sherbet punch made with lemon lime sherbet and sprite. We used food coloring to dye it blue and I put some ducks floating on the top.

I made the baby belly cake, it was my first time ever making a cake like this, so I was so proud!! I think I might have found another calling! :)

For the table I hung balloons from the ceiling at different heights and hung the banner I made below it. 

 Here is the tricycle diaper cake I created. It turned out so cute!!

I framed her invitation that I made so she can put it in the baby's room.

A closer look at the banner.

Well, that's it! I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I will be back sometime this week with a decorating post.

 Have a great week!!

***My Memories Giveaway***

Do you all love to scrapbook? I love it, but don't seem to have a ton of time to sit down and create pages. I have good intentions of doing it though. I was so excited when I was contacted by My Memories to review their scrapbooking software and they generously offered a free software to one of my readers. You can create all different kinds of things with this software not just scrapbook pages. You can create cards, calendars and photo books just with the click of your mouse. I love that!

My Memories Suite Digital Software can be used on both a Mac and a PC. Once installed on your computer, the software helps you creates pages from templates, or from scratch, for those of you with with a little more time than others.

The software is really cool you can add music  and video to your pages without all of the clean up of the paper!

Tassels & Baby Shower Invite

Hey!! I wanted to share with you all two custom tassels that I just made yesterday. I am in the process of making another one as we speak. I'll share that one with you when I am finished. She wanted these for her daughters, one of them loves purple and pink and the other loves blue and green. I think they turned out ADORABLE! I used initials for the topper.

I am hosting a baby shower with my mom for my sister in a few weeks. I made the invitations for her shower. I took my address and number off there so I don't get any creeps lol! I am going to list some invitations in my Etsy store if you are at all interested shoot me an email I'd love to create something custom for you!

Well that's it for today! I will be back in a few days! Enjoy!! If you missed any of my last posts I showed my kitchen and the other half of my living room. Check them out!
