One Amazing Baby Shower!

A while back a friend of mine and I threw a baby boy shower for our best friend, Lara. They had been trying to get pregnant for years, so we were soooo excited that it finally happened for them. We may have gone a little overboard....or should I say my best friend, Sarah, might have taken it to the extreme. She is super talented when it comes to the party planning thing. It turned out so fabulous, and we loved every minute of it.

Turquoise and Brown was the color scheme. I just love this set up. Love the sticks in the vases too.

Yes, that's right....that's a bird hanging from my ceiling on a stick. How original?

Crepe paper puff balls....so cute!

This was on my entry was table. Inside the jar was a gift for everyone to take as they left. They are little bird nests with blue robbin eggs inside, and a thank you note.

Personalized cake made to look just like our friend Lara on top.

A closer look of my pregnant friend. Made out of cake fondant. Look at the little purse on the side :)

I somehow forgot to take a picture of all the yummy food that we had there too. Let's just say that no one went away hungry, that's for sure. So happy to say that my friend Lara is now a proud mommy of a little boy & just recently a baby girl. What a great day to remember!

Yea For More Closet Space

Let's start with a little background. My husband and I built our starter home 11 years ago.   It served our purpose then just fine....but since then we have added 3 boys and a lot more stuff! We needed to upgrade, organize, and add more space. One of our many projects was the master closets. Can you say NO ROOM! I really, really wanted a walk in closet, so my hubby gave me the next best thing...an organized closet.



So much more space! Sorry I didn't get a "Before" picture, but just imagine your typical closet with one long rod from side to side.  This is SO much better than that! The hubs is so talented...and it shockingly only took him a few trips to his favorite store, Home Depot ( I seriously can't get him out of that place :)
