Is it just me or is EVERYONE AND THEIR MOMMA getting preggers?!? Just this past year alone I know SIX people who have been bitten by the baby BUMP bug. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for me. Don't get me wrong I want little Mudgies running all over the place someday just not NOWday.
Recently, I helped host a baby shower... which was WAY fun. Baby showers are a good way to satisfy a little baby craving without diving in if you're not ready {like me}. Decorating for baby showers=AWESOMELY FUN TIMES PLANNING FOR& CREATING BABY gOoDs.
There are soooo many amazing ideas out there for baby decor... I was beginning to have an overload of ideas so in the end I just decided to keep it simple:
Tissue paper flowers. Rubber duckie candies. Baby bottle banner.
Did you know that adding a doily to your gift is a great way to show everyone that you can make a gift look pretty and save a couple bucks on those expensive gift bags? YEs, it's true. Plus, it spices it up your gift-wrapping life!!! In the words of Charlie Sheen:WINNING. Haha. {that was for all you out there that keep up with entertainment news} ps- I can't remember what wrapping paper brand that is... perhaps Martha Stewart?
This upcoming weekend I will be a part of another shower... You know what that means for Cartwheels, right? More {fun} DIY projects& ideas. Check out this SUPER cute idea that I have in mind. Elephant theme anyone? If you live in the deep south and have a love for {college} Alabama football then your answer will most definitely be YES. I just couldn't wait until next week to share my idea {and by MY i mean the-idea-that-is-being-borrowed} long though to show you this cuteness! Once it's a brewin' it's hard to keep it stewin'.
If you fancy this idea as much as I do you can print out the elephant bunting&cupcake toppers. See the link at the very bottom.
Happy Monday to everyone! Go out&get crafty today!
::SHOUT OUTS& DIY's::
hello, baby elephant image, elephant bunting&cupcake topper : here
Tissue paper flower: HERE.
Duckie candy mold: HERE. How to melt candy: HERE. If you're wondering if it tastes as pretty as it looks the answer is YES.
Here's a bottle similar to the one i traced and cut out: HERE.
{1}. I used cardboard {cereal} boxes to trace the bottle on. {2}. Painted BOTH sides blue {2-3 coats of acrylic paint}. {3}. tied a ribbon around each bottle {double knotted on the backside}. You can cut out as many bottles as you want!!!

Baby showers are fun, especially the preparations. Don't you feel so thrilled and excited when you see the cute things used for decorations and props? And oh, the cupcakes are cool! I like how you did them. Other animal prints can also look for baby showers.
