Bridal Shower Decor

Morning! Well, let's see if I get more comments today. I'm wondering if it isn't time to delete the blog. I'm certainly not one of the popular blogs out there...hmmm....I like blogging and visiting blogs, I don't always comment myself. Hmmm....on to happier things...

Here are some photos from the bridal shower...

My living room. The banner is hard to read because it is glossy and glittery...

it says...ADAM on the top and COURTNEY on the bottom.

A view from the eating area into the living room.
The pompoms were easy to make.

A shot of one of the centerpieces and the M&M jar.

The jar was the prize for the ice breaker game.

My daughter all dressed up by her bridesmaids.

A friend of hers made the big roses out of the

tissue paper from the gifts. She is using this for

her rehearsal bouquet and veil.

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Hugs!

Shower prizes

I found these cute jars at IKEA (sorry no before picture). The lids have a raised handle on them and a tied some pretty ribbon to coordinate with the shower/wedding colors. These are the prizes for one of the games. I will do a post on the game soon...it's really cute and fun. I will be filling these jars with orange M & M's...yum!

Quick and easy!

The two taller jars are for a different game but there will be orange M & M's in them too.

I cannot believe how fast Saturday is coming. I'm off to finish the game to go with these jars. I will take pics and do a post...you may want to use this game!

Have a great day!

Hugs!

Bridal Shower Prizes

Hello!!! As promised...today, I bring you crafty goodness!!! For my daughter's shower, I am going with an orange theme to match the bridal party colors. I've been picking things up here and there, while I'm out and about, along with making a few prizes. It really has been a lot of fun planning! A couple of days ago, I made these prizes...

I found these oval clear paperweights somewhere on clearance and set them in the craft room for future use. I pulled them off the shelf and decoupaged some decorative paper from my paper stash onto the back. They look so pretty in person!

For one of the games we will be needing clothespins. So instead of boring clothespins, I thought why not make them pretty and to go with the color scheme. They were so quick! I cut the paper to fit and decoupaged them on. I made 50 of these in about an hour. I'm planning to use some for gifts, they're great for clipping notes together, closing up chip bags and cereal bags. We use them all the time for snacks...I like these better since they're all prettied up!

More clips. (Remember to click on the picture to see a bigger view).

Today, I am cleaning and packing to go to Chicago, again this weekend. I'll be there all next week. Watch for posts from the Windy City next week! I will try to post some pics too :-)

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Hugs!

Found It!!!

I've been busy, busy finding this and that for my daughter's upcoming bridal shower. The wedding sort of has a natural feel to it so when my daughter saw these favors boxes (pictured below) at Michael's we knew these were the perfect ones.

We found the perfect favor to place inside...100% pure beeswax candles (pictured here at www.CandleshopCreations.com). My daughter's friend's parents own a honey farm here in MI and her sister uses the beeswax to make candles. Perfect! They are very cute and 2 will fit in each box.

Now, the ribbon was harder to find! I searched for hours in stores and online and finally found this ribbon. I found it at dunwoody booth packaging Orange colored jute, earth friendly ribbon!!! Hurray!!! Now I just need to order and receive the ribbon then assemble! Woo hoo!

I will post photos when they're done! Hope you've had a great weekend!

Hugs!
