Hi everyone! Sorry I’ve been MIA from Xanga. I promise to try to be better at keeping up! I did miss you all while I was gone. There have been so many things going on…some of it is bad. I have faith that things will get better though. Maybe I can go into it later on protected. Until then…here’s the happy stuff.
I recently helped plan a baby shower for my buddy, Katherine. I was in charge of invitations and decorations. I wish I had more time to make stuff!! I was soo busy at work that I’d end up working all day and staying up all night making stuff.
THE INVITES
This is how it all started~ the doodle ducks:
Here are a few photos of the invites:
I used the Hostess with the Mostess site for guidance~ such an awesome site! Things were so hectic the day of the shower that I barely got any photos. 
Here are the few I got:
THE GIFT
I really wanted to get Katherine a gift that could show her how truly blessed I feel to have a friend like her. I made her a personalized scrapbook to document the baby’s first year and a camera to take photos to fill it with. Take a look and let me know which page is your favorite! I wish you could see the details~ the crystals, felt, ribbon, handcut letters, etc.~ you can click on it to get a better view or I guess you can just use your imagination…hehe!
I think the one below is my fave~ I drew the baby animals and used my Africa photos of baby animals to match. I wish I had more time to work with it but this was the best I could do with the time crunch!
I loved making the scrapbook! I tried to hand-make every detail so that it would be special. I know Katherine is going to be an amazing mom since she’s already such a truly caring and wonderful friend. I’m so excited I’m going to be an auntie!!
