Andrea's Shower!

Yesterday we had a combination baby/wedding shower for my daughter. It turned out beautiful and everyone had a great time. I am so amazed at how generous and thoughtful everyone was. What an amazing family we have.
My other daughter made a baby fruit carriage. It's adorable. So much work though. Our first watermelon split like the turkey on the movie " Christmas Vacation"!
Now, we have only a month to wait for the wedding....going to sail by quickly!

Geocaching!

Discovered Geocaching today! Geocaching is a sort of " treasure hunt". The app is on your phone and it tells you where to go via gps. You use your " location" to find " treasures" in your area. What you're looking for is usually a little canister of some sort. Some have little treasures in them  and some just have a piece of paper that you date and sign. I had the 3 grandkids with me and had sooo much fun!  We found three of them in our area. Can't believe I hadn't heard of this before today. It's free, it's exercise and it totally occupies the kids.
If you're looking for something to do with or without the kids.... give this a try!

Clean, simple designs...


These cards are sooo simple. Sometimes I don't have time to create anything with a lot of " stuff". These cards are very clean and simple, yet , I think, adorable...
Just plain Papertrey Ink white cardstock, a couple of stamps , a sticker and some pearls.... done!

Baby/Wedding Shower

My daughter and I are  planning a combination baby/wedding shower for my other daughter; her twin. It's so much fun. We are lucky because her wedding colors are pink and white and she's having a baby girl.... so PINK is definitely the color!!
Our venue ended up changing because of a error with double booking by the company we were dealing with, so my sister kindly offered her home. 
I've got the gifts bought and wrapped .. I made cute little gift boxes with my Cricut that we're going to fill with pink and white candies. I'm also making white chocolate covered pretzel rods with pink sprinkles. We have cute tissue paper flower decorations. It's difficult to keep trying to remember that this is a combination shower and not just a baby shower. If anyone has any other cute ideas for this shower... I'm all ears.

Cards!!






Just a couple of cards I made. I do a little bit of scrapbooking, but, definitely love the " instant gratification" of making cards..
what do you think of them?
