My SIL's baby shower

Hello, friends:}


It seems like forever for me since I was in my studio last--all last week, I was working ahead and scheduling posts because I was going from SW FL to the TIP TOP of FL for my SIL's baby shower. I love love love her--so it was a no brainer that I wanted to make LOTS of little gifts for her! **Candice is practicing with her sling and a teddy bear! LOL!


This is a fun sushi gift that I made using onesies, socks, wash cloths, and other little goodies. I found this gift and tutorial HERE
So sorry for the horrible pic--I was literally running around all last week and forgot to get a pic before we left. My MIL, Lori, is holding this plate up through the hotel pillow case! LOL! It was her CLEVER idea to use the white pillow cases as a background--and she even had TAPE in her suitcase! LOVE her!!! 

I found this popcorn container at the Dollar Tree...and I knew I wanted to make it using this sentiment! It's filled with lots of little baby socks (different sizes) and then I put some yellow shredded paper on top. LOVE it!
I love love love this gift--it's a clear pacifier with lots of mustaches so that she can use them for some of his pictures/photography sessions. I sent her lots of styles and in several colors just in case she wanted to match her baby's hair! 
Here is a pic of Candice as she was opening her gift! LOVE!!! She is so gorgeous--even with a mustache:) 
Travis was invited to the men's shower and made this diaper creation. He did it all but the stork! I did that;) I found a picture of this gift on SCS by Stephanie Conley. LOVED it and knew I had to CASE it! He did a great job with this gift!!
Here are the gifts on the table--I also created/included a black baby ring sling, tag blanket, tee pees, prayer journal, and card, as well as a full box of more diapers (you can never have too many of those!). 
Now that I look at this pic--I realize this was a random set of gifts--with NO THEME! What was I thinking...LOL!

Here is what I wore to the shower--gotta love my 6" heels! 
Ok--I know I look like a dork in this pic, but I couldn't help it! Pics by Ventura:)


Here is another pic--Candice, Lori, and myself. 
Another pic where I look like a dork--I forgot to stand up straight (I think I have to be the same height as everyone else! Then why do I wear those heels! LOL!). It almost looks like I'm preg....but I'm NOT!!! Silly shirt!


That's it for me....it's been a CRAZY filled weekend, and I'm so thankful that we arrived there and back safely. I am ready to get back in the studio!! So be sure to stop back by tomorrow for some crafty goodness for the next challenge at The Ribbon Carousel:)


THANKS for stopping!! Congratulations, Candice and Allen!! I can't wait for Knox to arrive--by the way, LOVE his name!!! Be blessed:}

  2. Savannah! First, what ahhh-mazing gifts... of course your gifts were probably the talk of the party... that sushi gift was *the* cutes thing I have seen in a while! I'm totally stealing that idea for future baby gifts! I also *love* the sentiment with the popcorn box... another good one!

    But, mostly I wanted to comment and let you know

    1. Those shoes are to. die. for. !!! You and I would not only make amazing crafty buddies... BUT, great shoe pals too!

    2. I love that shirt color on you! It's the perfect shade of pink! And I think it looks like it's actually really flattering ... I tend to think sheer fabrics can be quite flattering with a solid color under!

    Anyway! LOVE your creative genius... and your shoes! Hugs!!
