Circus Baby Shower

 I had the privilege of helping to throw a baby shower for my lovely sister-in-law, Shawna. We had decided on a circus theme. A friend and coworker of hers offered her house and to take care of all of the food (which is the hard part). We weren't in touch much, just were communicative about the theme.
 
 It is amazing how well it worked out, though. We even both ended up wearing red and polka dots!

 Popcorn and peanuts! There was also a hot dog bar, homemade mac-n-cheese, kale salad, and tons of goodies! Why didn't I get a picture of the cake and the cake balls?!! They were adorable!
 Pinwheels= instant party!

 I made these onsies to showcase Otto's name, but also for them to use later.

Shawna actually designed her own invites and they turned out so perfect!!!
I said it once, I will say it again, "I LOVE a THEME!!!!"

church Cruise Party Decorations

 Our church had a Valentine Dance. The girl who was in charge chose a Tropical Cruise theme. She and another girl who were in charge of decorating for the dance totally outdid themselves. I had to share pictures of their amazing decorations!
Above there are sand dollars in sand with Sharpies so you could write a Valentine message to give to your Valentine.
 I have never been on a cruise, but the idea here is that there are lots of booths set up with good "for sale".

 Because this was a dance for families, meaning every age, I was a little apprehensive about these items getting touched and handled. Everything worked out, though. Maybe because everyone was having so much fun dancing!




 We had a professional photographer taking pictures of all of the families.
 Here are a bunch of props that you could wear in your pictures.
 This was a little "spa" set up with little towel animals. Insane attention to detail!
 These ladies built all of this! I was just floored by all they did on a relatively small budget.
 Look at the banana dolphin coming out of the jello ocean!
I was in charge of the invitations, and this is what I came up with. I tried to make it look like a ticket.
