{My Parties} Something blue... Brooke's Bridal Shower!

The invites

(The stamps & the cardstock are all Stampin' Up)

The favors...Once again, SU stamps & cardstock. The tags are from Staples. Seed paper was ordered from Amazon and cut with a punch from SU! The tag explains how to plant the seed paper.

Using a photo-board from Michael's ($1 with a coupon!), the gift table was decorated with a sign acknowledging the guest of honor...Burlap and brown ribbon were used to embellish the sign cut with a Cricut!

Allllllll Aboard!

Caitlin is about ready to have their first son, Jacob...and that means SHOWER TIME!  Since the nursery is train-themed, it decided was to go with that for the shower theme too...

Invites were all made with Stampin' Up Cardstock and some manilla tags from Staples.

For the favors, we did mason jars filled with sugar cookie mix.We topped it off with a train cookie cutter...

Found this adorable shelf on Amazon.com. We asked all of the guests to bring their favorite children's book and we piled them onto the shelf.

I made Caitlin a fleece blanket, with trains- of course!!

Wow... Combining party planning & the love of literature

This could possibly be my version of Heaven! Someone combining their love of a story with a party. What more could an English teacher ask for!! Check out this link to see Kate Landers and her fantastic ideas!!!

Christening...

These are the Rosary beads that were handmade by Caileigh's Great- Grandma (age 94!)

We had Caileigh's Christening in September. I made the invites, favors, and decorations. Lunch was wraps (ordered) and salads (homemade: Orzo, Watermelon, Spinach, Pasta)...

Favors..  I used tissue paper to transfer the stamp that I used on the invitations to pillar candles for everyone. I absolutely love them (and this technique!)

Dessert was a milk & cookie buffet!
