Baby Shower: About to *Pop*

One of the projects I've been working on these days is a Baby Shower for friends of mine and Tyler's. Annabelle is due August 6th (the day after Charlee's Birthday!!) and on June 2nd we will Celebrate her and her baby bump!

Baby Showers are always so fun and cheerful, I love planning them! I have only hosted one other one, a boy shower, and this time I get to do a girly shower. Check out the Polka Dot Shower Ash and I did for our Bestie J this time last year, here! While researching for the shower, there was one theme that kept popping out at me.

I have just started crafting and working on things but (of course!) I do have a pintrest board with some About to Pop Baby Shower ideas I'd like to share with you.

So I have been shopping and if you've ever seen or attended any of my parties you know we like to do it on a budget here. Buy a few key things and make everything else, and of course recycle from previous parties. Here's my shopping so far!

Happy Birthday Baby Cash!

Happy Birthday Baby Cash!!! This mrning Bestie J FINALLY had her little boy Cash! Seems like shes been pregnant forever, an it was forever ago we had her Baby Shower. I was talking to J for a little bit and everythng is going well so far. I have seen a few pictures so far and he already melts my heart! I just can't wait to meet the little guy! SOON! So happy for their little family!


So this morning I made some lemonade cupcakes to bring to the new parents as a little treat. John had mentioned that they were one of his favorites so far. Only bad thing about it was I only had pink lemonade and I didnt think it would actually tint the icing pink...it did =(

 This morning I also whipped up a batch of Fathers Day cupcakes! (Iwas trying to keep busy, so I wouldnt drive myself crazy thinking about J and Baby) I made vanilla cupcakes with a Rootbeer Buttercream, then found some very cute free toppers to print for the cupcakes.

Baby Shower Sneak Peek

Yesterday Bestie A and I spent the day crafting for a very important Baby Shower! On Sunday afternoon we will be hosting our very first Baby Shower for Bestie J, shes due in June and we're soooo excited to meet the new little edition. A and I are very excited to be "aunties" we even got to go to the 3-D ultrasound with them when they found out they were having a little BOY!! 

Just wanted to give everyone a little sneak peek of what we spent our rainy Monday doing!

....and you know there will be some other surprises and LOTS more food.

 We got lots of other things done too... but I don't want to J to see it all before the shower! And then topped it all off with a nice little shopping spree, also for the shower! It was a very successful (and damp) Monday, poured rain absolutely all day long. So much for APRIL SHOWERS and MAY flowers....but its better than snow so Ill take it!
