I can't believe my baby sister is having a baby! (congratulations
Diana!) We had her shower this weekend and
Becky T. did a great job on the decorations. I wanted to show my favorite things, those big pink puff balls hanging from the ceiling in the right hand corner:
Somehow I didn't get a good picture of them though. They are so cute, I think I need to go get some for my girl's bedrooms! They were just at
Walmart in the Martha Stewart crafts kit section- here's the picture from the website:
I got to do the favors and filled these
boxes with pink M&M's and Strawberry Whoppers. I got the white boxes from
Michael's and wrapped a strip of Glitz Hot Mama Damask paper around them and then made the stickers on my computer with the Glitz Create-a-Card CD (vol 2) and printed them on sticker paper sheets and then used a circle punch to cut them out.
Sounds pretty simple, but it took me hours of staring at them to figure it out, especially how to make the ribbon work, (fyi- I wrapped the black ribbon around the box lid, and then stuck a couple pink ones in the knot) but I liked them in the end. There were a few left over and I left them out last night and the kids woke up and helped themselves to candy for breakfast today! At least I got to sleep a little longer before anyone needed me for anything.

Those boxes are so cute! Gotta love the Glitz. I get sad sometimes when I can't go window shopping at the scrapbook store, that's right our little tiny one we had here closed down.

Katie this is gorgeous. I definately will be calling for ideas in the future when I have a baby. Your so cute.
Adorable, Katie!
Diana's baby shower was darling. You are all very talented. And the strawberry whoppers were a nice surprise in the those cute little boxes.
I would love the recipe for the mini-pumpkin cheesecakes. Who should I contact?
