Basketball Baby Shower

For Justine and Little Dickey!

Justine and Dwayne are having a baby boy! 

 They can't decide on a name so they have nicknamed him

LITTLE DICKEY!

Basketball Centerpieces

The tables for the guests were set up on an outside basketball court.

What better place for a B-ball shower than on the court?

Of course the water, with labels.

The Food - oh yummy!

Thanks for Coming! Table

Our little thank you's.

Jealin had a great idea to leave the envelopes out for the guests to write their name and address on.  At the end of the party we gave Justine the envelopes with the cards, this way her "Thank You Cards" are all addressed and she doesn't have to hunt down address!  BRILLIANT!

Jealin, Me and Kellie - The party planners!

Baby Birth Announcement {Revisted}

A few weeks ago I posted a Birth Announcement - Subway Art print I made here.

For this beautiful baby girl.

My sweet little niece.  Kennedy.

Her mom and dad blessed her this past weekend.

I saved the gift to give for this special day.

Here's the finished project.

I created the print in photoshop.

Purchased an unfinished frame from Roberts.

Painted and antiqued it.

Added some silk ribbon flowers.

Love.

Father's Day Gift Idea

Eighteen 25 had the CUTEST Father's Day Gift Idea.

It is simple enough the kids can make it.

So, what did I do?

Bought enough supplies for all Webelos Scout boys to pass of a requirement by making one for their Dad's - Perfect.

Nothing like a little craft time with a group of Cub Scouts.

I changed it up just a little bit from the original.  I used the free printable ties from Shindig Parties and the free template for the collar from Eighteen 25.

I live in a small town.  We are not lucky enough to have a Hobby Lobby.  I had to improvise on the jars.  I had PLENTY of quart sized mason jars.  Seemed to do the trick.

My boys had plenty of fun making these little guys for their Dad's.

Now I have my "Not Scout" kids wanting to make them too!

Happy Father's Day!

Birth Announcement - Subway Art

Last month our family welcomed a new baby.

Shaunna - If you are reading this  STOP NOW! 

Unless you want to see the little surprise I have for you!

I get the honor of having another niece!

 Don't you just LOVE babies?

I DO!

They smell delicious, soft skin, and they are just plain precious.

I saw something similar to this Subway Art and new I had to make one for our sweet new addition. 

(I just can't remember where...I really need to do better at keeping track of where I see all these amazing ideas.  People are brilliant and I owe credit to the person who created the original - cuz it wasn't me.)

Print it.  Frame it.  Gift it.

PERFECT.

Just like a brand new baby.

Father's Day

 Next week is Father's Day!

Check out Shindig Parties for this adorable free printable to help your Father's Day even more spectacular!

How cute is this?

Ice Cream Soda

Cherry On Top

Who's Your Boyfriend?  I forgot!

Is it A, B, C, D, E, F, G......?

Do remember singing that jump rope song as a kid?

I completely forgot about it until my daughter was skipping rope on the back patio while singing it.

Of course, we had to make Ice Cream Soda Cherry on Top Cupcakes!

Ahhh....Memories.  Days of jump ropes and silly songs!

Chocolate cupcakes with cherry cola frosting.  Top it with sprinkles and a cherry and you have got yourself a cupcake sister!

Now, off you go.  Jump rope with your little girl today!
