RECYCLE & REPURPOSE

I love DIY projects, especially those that give new life, purpose and beauty to old things!

What Will Her Name Be??

On March 19th, 2011 we got together for luncheon to celebrate my soon-to-be grand daughther!


As is tradition, I made the all important "diaper cake" center piece! Cute, right? With a little green monkey topper that she will hopefully like to play with.


In attendance were several family members, as well as my best friend and her daughter, Aimee. We've known each other since our girls where 2 and 4 yrs old!

Big brother-to-be helps mom with opening gifts.

Aren't gift bags the best invention ever!? Love them!


These pink and girly driks were jummy! Pomogranete Lemonade and Sparkling wine (aka "champagne"), served on pink sugar-rimmed flutes. Fun, fun!


These fun snack are pretzels dipped in white chocolate and sprinked with pink edible crystals.


Unlike my daugher, a cake decorater, I am NOT! But it was edible. I don't like to get store-bought cakes, so even my cakes are "rustic" looking, I still prefer them.


These are just flowers from my garden...tiny and beautiful just a new baby!


I also had some cherry blossoms that were the perfect pink!


These pink soaps Favors were so fun to make! Had fun making the little tags too, each one unique!


The decor was simple but unique, made of baby clothes cut-outs, including dresses, onesies, underware, and bibs. They were strung about like as "clothese line". SO much fun!


Here the underware that matched to dresses. Using a double-sided paper was key. Mommy plans to use 3 of them for decorating baby's room!


These whreath was the pic, the actual one I had the day of was of all underware but didn't take a photo.




The invites were so SWEET! Little dresses with the details inside! Sadly I didn't get to send everybody one because I ran out of paper and when I went to buy more, the store was out! I plan to make more for those I missed, including one for my scrapbook.
