Show us your Life ~ Baby Shower

If you haven't ever, check out Kelly's Korner. It's a wonderful and uplifting blog, not to mention all the great ideas you can get each week from all the sharing!

This week is Show us your Life ~ Baby Shower

Just a few weeks back, we threw a virtual baby shower for a dear friend. They have relocated and are miles and miles from their friends and family. So myself and another friend, planned it out. It was set up, so that everything arrived within a day or so of each other. Including all the decorations, gifts and all. It was the best surprise ever! She loved it and was so overwhelmed by the love of everyone and that we pulled it off without her knowing. So I have attached a few pictures of the special decorations we made.

My friend, made the beautiful diaper cake! Isn't it just awesome! It was her first one ever, but she did great!

Then I did this wreath below!

And my friend made this bouquet of cute sock flowers! Aren't they just precious! I can't wait to make some for the next shower!


And then a few months back, I helped another friend host a baby shower. It was to be something small.

These cupcake rattles were made by our friend, who does cakes on the side! Aren't they precious?

Here's a picture of the table set up. We did a wreath here too. And then we had blue m&m's that side boy on them, and blue hershey kisses that on the streamer said "it's a boy." Just a few little small touches to make it special.


I thought I'd share a fun game we did too. We had cute bingo cards. Then everyone was given one. They were to write down what they thought she might get as a gift. They could not write down any one item more than twice. Then we played bingo as she opened up the gifts! Everyone loved the twist on it, and it was so fun to hear what everyone had put down.
Hugs and Blessings,

Hi I was looking through the show us your life links for baby showers and found your cute idea for the cupcakes! I am trying to make them for a shower tomorrow and I can't figure out how to get the mint to stick. I was putting icing on it but it seems to heavy to stay on. Any suggestions?
