Here are some pictures! 

                                   Entryway, you can check out how to make the door decoration here

We had the guests write advice for the couple

and estimate how many candies were the baby bottle.

View from the front door.  Pink touches everywhere...tulips, pink and white polka dotted balloons, and my favorite........

.........PINK PILLOWS!

One banner....

Dessert Table yummys! 

My lovely readers...do you recognize the candy jars? 

I posted a tutorial here...just in case you're interested

One of my favorites from the night.......                

I loved that even the pasta salad looked girly with the flower shaped pasta noodles...please forgive me for not knowing the specific name! If you know the exact name help me out and comment below:)

We had tons more food, unfortunately I didn't get any more pics:( Since the daddy loves hot dogs we ordered them from a special place in town with all the fixins for a Chicago Dog, we also had beef and turkey sliders, anti pasta platter, fruit, mexican dips, ham pinwheels, black bean dip, the best strawberries in the world,  and I think that is all.....It was such a fun shower and I'm glad everyone had a great time!

If you can believe it, I still have one more post.....but I can't post it yet! Soon soon...

I hope that you have an extra special day!

Smiles, 

Jill

Guest Designer at Decorate to Celebrate

***If you're looking for the CWC post...keep scrolling down... Thanks!:)**

We are having a gorgeous day today! How about you? Did you know, I'm having a GIVEAWAY? Yay! If you haven't joined in you can here.

Well, I am honored because..........I am lucky enough to be a Guest Designer for Decorate to Celebrate for their baby shower theme!  You can check out their blog  here. You may remember me talking about a baby shower that we were having for some friends. If not, you can check out the invitations here, and the front door wreath here, and the video tutorial for the door wreath here.

Well, we had the baby shower two weekends ago! I can't believe how fast time flies!  Anyways, here are some of the decorations...

Here is one of the banners I made:

I used the New Arrival Cricut cartridge (if you don't have a cutting machine I made a printable for you at the bottom of this post, so you could replicate this banner) to make the onesies and the "It's a Girl" circles. The flower in the center of the onesies were left over from my Spring Topiary. If you didn't get a chance to check it out, you can find it here. I cut the onesies and circles out at 4in.

The dessert table had lanterns and this circular decoration hanging down from the ceiling. The circular string decoration was so easy to make. All I did was take a glass trace around it to make my circular pattern and cut out circles from felt sheets. The felt was the stiff felt sheet kind. The sheets were purchased at Hobby Lobby. After cutting out the circles I hot glued them back to back on a string. I don't know the technical term for the string but it was shiny and smooth string...ha! You can use whatever type of string, twine, etc...

This is a picture of the dessert table before we had all the food out. I wanted to make sure I got some pictures before it got too crazy and I forgot to take pictures. I actually was able to get some, not as many as I would have liked, after the food was out...I will post soon!

Here are the printables as promised so that you can make the banner yourself if you don't have a cutting machine.

                                Download the It's a Girl here                Download the It's a Boy here                  

                                                          Download the onesies here 

(If you use colored paper when printing the onesies they will be printed whatever color of paper you put in the printer...I'm sure you already knew that, but just in case)

If you've never downloaded a printable follow these directions.....ENJOY!

You will be brought to Photobucket. You will not see the word "File" but if you take your mouse to the upper left hand corner of the printable, you will see it. Go to File then a drop down menu will pop up and go to download! There you have it! Now you can download and print away! Also, when in doubt, just right click right on the image and click "Save As". Then you can save the printable to your computer.  My printer allows me to print at different sizes like 8X10 and 5X7 along with the quantity to be printed off! Let me know if you have any questions because I was a lost puppy when it came to printables at first!

Thanks again  DECORATE TO CELEBRATE  for having me as a Guest Designer! 

Have a Super fun day!

Smiles, 

Jill

Happy Friday...and BABY SHOWER preview

Yay! It's Friday! What is everyone doing this weekend? I think Friday is my favorite day of the week because when it's Friday, everyone seems to be happy! What is your favorite day? Plus, you have Saturday and Sunday to look forward to! Anyways, enough of that....

I just wanted to share a little piece of info with you......we're having a baby shower! No, not for ourselves, but for some wonderful friends!  So here are the invitations that went out today...

Our friends are obviously having a girl. They don't have a theme but more or less are sticking with the colors, pink and gray.  They are doing a modern themed nursey, too.  Our friend is an awesome decorator, so I'm super excited to see it when it's done. Our friend loves polka dots, so when I found these invitations I knew these were it! These invitations are from Tiny Prints you can find them here.  

I will be posting more decorations later...... my mom made the door decoration already and it is too cute for words!  Get excited! You can view more decorations my mom has done in the past here.

Have a spectacular day!

Smiles,

Jill
