Baby Shower.... its came & went :)

Kimberlee & Joseph opening up their presents!

Oh my... this was my HEADACHE... I couldn't get it to hang like I had envisioned so this is how it ended up!

These little birdies were made to hang on the tree and people could write notes for Kimberlee, Joseph or Baby Isabelle.These were our "bird nests" they were just cute sitting out on the 3 tier dessert plate.

These were the favors that we gave as our guest left.

Baby showers... love them but they are alot of work! We had a great time at the shower, lots of friends and it was fun to see everyone and just visit. Kimberlee & Joseph were so suprised to see what all they got and couldn't believe that everyone was so giving. They got most of everything they will need for the "New Isabelle Grace". I hope that they will continued to be greatful & blessed!

Remember me?

This is my cousin, Joseph & his wife, my cousin, friend, walking buddy... Kimberlee. Joseph graduated from Basic Training in New Jersey for the Coast Guard. Kimberlee & Joseph are going to have their first baby in October, its a girl & her name is Isabelle Grace. We are hosting their baby shower on Friday night, then they start packing to move on Saturday and heading for North Carolina. I'm going to miss Kimberlee so much... she's been a great friend to have here in Oklahoma. So I've been & will still be busy working on/ planning this shower... its a little "Shabby Chic". I'll take pictures and show them to you when we get it all set up.

These are 2 of the new layouts on my mom's blog http://dkdesigns.blogspot.com/ They are simple but I think that they are just easier to put together. Hope you all like them... visit her blog & see what's been going on with her.

I so wish you could see the pictures better & see what a great job my good friend Renee did at taking them. She has a gift that's for sure! She's amazing with Stephen. But these are 2 layouts I did for http://www.scrappygourmet.com/ the pictures on their website are a TON better. So jump on over there so you can get a glimps of my precious nephew Stephen.

I have more to show & tell you but that'll have to wait until another day.... I'm tired! :)

I'm reading another book, my wonderful & thoughtful cousin Sarah bought it for me. She knew that I have wanted this book for awhile now, Calm My Anxious Heart By: Linda Dillow So I'm trying to remember to not worry & be content with my life. We may not always get EXACTLY what we think we want but through it all, I have a lot!

http://dkdesigns.blogspot.com

Well I have a couple of layouts that I am working on for my mom's blogsite. But I haven't gotten them done yet.... of course! They are laying on my floor as we speak & they have been there for almost a week. I guess I'm just hoping that I'll walk in and the scrapbook fairy will have completed them while I was out. mmmm.... I shouldn't hold my breath. Well I hope that you will take a look at what Mom has been up too. She did have the cutest little dog to scrapbook! :)
