Another Pink & Black Baby Shower

You may remember that we recently posted a party idea for a Pink & Black Baby Shower. Well, considering I had about 4 baby showers, I am sharing another one! This one was thrown for me by my dear friend Katie and it turned out great!

PINK & BLACK BABY SHOWER, #2

 There was yummy food and hand wrapped loppipop washcloths, plus personalized water bottles!

 Those are the Thank You cards, with pre-filled out addresses by all the guests. Plus cute little goodie bags with chocolates wrapped in pink! 

 Adorable right?

Thanks Katie for such a wonderful shower!

Happy Spring Sign

Happy Spring Sign

I needed a quick decoration project from things that I had so I came up with this Happy Spring Sign. All you need is, scissors, printed out letters (you can draw them yourself too), string or twine, and small clothes pins.
First you cut out the letters.

I tied the string to pins and pinned them to the wall. Then I clipped the letters onto the string and you have a cheap sign that looks pretty cute. You can do this with any words and any Holiday. I hung it in front of my mirror in my family room. I sometimes get sick of that bare mirror, and now I have something to look at instead of myself.
