Baby Shower

Who says you can't craft while on bed rest?! Since my body pillow is practically attached to my hip, I feel like I can do anything ;) I offered to make my baby shower invitations because I figured it would give me something to do and give me an excuse to use my cameo, which I absolutely love! I decided to be extra crafty and make the envelopes as well. It seriously took me a whole week to make 17 invitations, but I loved every minute of it!

The baby shower was held at my house. It was so fun to spend the afternoon with my family.

If you're like me, I always dread the baby shower games because they always last forever. My sister, Amy, was in charge of the game and it was by far one of my favorite games I have played at a baby shower. It was seriously 5 minutes and it was so simple. She bought all of the items on the list and then we had to guess how much each item cost. The person that came the closest to the actual cost won a candy bar.

Can I just tell you how amazing my grandma is?! Not only has she made a baby blanket for every grandchild, she also makes them for every great grandchild! On top of that, she HAND sews it. She is incredible. I wish you could see the design up close because it's incredible!! She made the cutest disney blanket for baby DeVore. I am going to cherish this blanket forever!

My mom took after my grandma and is an amazing seamstress! She made me the cutest monster blanket, burp rags, and car seat cover. She definitely spoiled me!

I'm so grateful for these beautiful ladies that threw me the best baby shower today. I am so lucky to have such an amazing family!!

Office Baby Shower

I have been the receptionist for Dr. Myers for almost 2 1/2 years. It's crazy how fast time flies. I absolutely love my job. I especially love the girls I work with, it makes working more fun :)

One of my co-workers, Kailyn, is pregnant and is due in January. Kellie and I decided to throw her a baby shower. I did the invites and decorations, and Kellie made the food and hosted it at her home. It was so fun to be together outside of work and see each other in normal clothes (we are always in scrubs). I am so excited for Kailyn, she is going to be the cutest mom!

Kellie made a diaper cake. It had 150 diapers, such a cute idea!

These pom-poms are super easy to make. Take as many tissue papers as you would like, (the more there are, the bigger it will be), and fold them into a fan, like back in elementary school. Once it is all folded, tie a string around the middle of the tissue paper. Un-fold each tissue paper one at a time, until all the tissue paper is apart. And that's all there is to it, it's so easy!

Making invitations is so easy with my cameo! It is seriously one of the best presents I have ever gotten from Chad. It can cut paper, fabric and vinyl and can cut out any design you can think of. It's like a Cricket, but better because you can download fonts off the internet (my favorite is Pinterest) and you don't have to buy cartridges like a Cricket! It is such a versatile machine and can be used for so many different projects. ( I used it to cut out my banner and letters on the gift bags below).
