Baby on the brain...

...a baby shower for little baby Anders #2. :)

[Thankful to get to blog, because while I'm down, due to surgery...blogging is helping me keep my mind off the pain!]


My community group and I came together and hosted a baby shower for Chrystal (who is in our CGroup). Chrystal is due in January with little boy #2. :)  We had a lot of fun making this shower special for her. Megan had the idea of having different fondue stations. It turned out really well! We had 4 different stations (chocolate, peanut butter, cheese cake, and  hazelnut one). They were delicious!!!

Here are pictures from the evening:

Christmas Crafts...

I've been working on this Christmas Tree for a few weeks now. 

Slowly but surely it came along. :) 

I got this Christmas tree idea from my friend Morgaines blog: It's Simple Holiday's 

--> she's ubber-dubber crafty, and has every single craft tool under the sun I swear <--

{ Here's what you need }

• cut up scrapbook paper
• pins
• scissors
• & the green looking foam things from Michael's in whatever size you'd like. I was planning on making a family of trees, but have yet to complete more than one ;)

[ In progress ]

[ Complete ] [ ! ]

• Bow added to the top / I had to hot glue it to stay well

[ Now I'm inspired to make more ] [ ! ]

My community group girls and I recently hosted a baby shower in my home. 

I really wanted to make Chrystal a diaper cake, but as I was googling them 

I came across the idea of making a diaper wreath! 

I had never heard of this before!  

Some looked very cute, but some looked very gaudy...which I don't like. 

That's the cool thing about a project/craft, 

you can make it what you like & that I did. 

It turned out WAY better than I had anticipated! 

I had some of a vision of how I wanted to make it, 

but really it all just came together as I was making it...as do most of my crafts. 

{ Here's what I used}

• Foam ring thing from Michael's
• Ribbon
• Diapers
• Scissors
• Hot glue
• Fun Lettering

**It was difficult to find diapers without some sort of character on them...I did NOT want a character on the diapers, but I wanted them to have some boyish color to them, so these were great!
