this is for the wonderful ladies i work with who keep bugging
me about posting pictures of alyce's shower. :)

this is my dear friend alyce.

this picture was from way too long ago.
from before either one of us was serious about
having kids.

well, fast forward nearly 3 years, and i have a kid
and alyce has one on the way. you would think
with a camera that is nearly attached to me at all
times i would have taken pictures of alyce the day
of her shower, but i didn't. boo. but....here are some
pictures from her shower....


i decided to make a majority of the party favors.
i don't know why i decided to do such a crazy thing,
but i LOVED doing it. I found this idea from Kelly and
her fabulous 12 crafts till christmas blog. brilliant.

then i got this great idea from my friend
Julie. i also "borrowed" the idea from
julie to put pics up around the house of alyce.
such a fabulous touch...thank you for posting
your creativity jules. :)


we had the guests fill out "wishes for Lila"



i. heart. poofs. only martha could invent such an easy, beautiful thing out of tissue paper.


i'm saving my favorite creation for last....i got this amazing idea from
Rebekah at A Blissful Nest. i saw this idea and knew i HAD to do it for
alyce's shower. i envisioned this going on lila's door to her room and knew
i had to make it. fortunately, alyce liked it (i'm pretty sure.hopefully.seeing that
it took me oh, 3-4 days. with a screaming kid. and hot glue burns.but no pressure al.)


it was an honor to co-host this shower for you alyce! you are an amazing
friend and i would create all this again for you in a heart beat! can't wait to
meet you baby lila (isaiah looks forward to meeting his girlfriend too!)


so, i'm going to throw this out there into the crazy world of bloggers...
i loved planning this shower and creating the perfect decor. if anyone needs
help, ideas, someone to brain storm with....e-mail me and i'd love to help!
