bebe shower

Bonjour bebe Steele!  Our dear friends are expecting their first daughter, here's a little shower I threw in their honor.  The theme was parisian and the colors were pink and black.  Check out my pinterest board used for inspiration. And as usual pretty much everything was upcycled (its merely an obsession on mine)!

a couple of birthdays

I really can't believe this adorable little man is already one!  Remember the waiting game here.

My sis-in-law made these cute cupcakes with sun bathing teddy grahams. Ha!

Check out this awesome banner with a picture from every month of his first year.  Great idea.

Seashell cake balls in a beach bucket, love it!

Auntie and Unk's gift for the little guy, thought I would share this pinterest inspired wrap job. Hand crafted fabric flower and yarn.

And this adorable guy here just turned 30!

We threw a plaid themed party at our local favorite restaurant.  I used a ton of recycled materials as well as some pinterest inspirations.  It was an all around fabulous night!

I made this denim runner from our old jeans that were destined for the thrift store.

Penant plaid banner. Can you guess which one is made from recycled boxers?!

Cupcakes from Elizabethan Desserts.  I made the little flags for an extra plaid kick.

The tent was mr. roundys gift from me.  I couldn't resist making him open his gifts inside the tent!

Oh and here are our diy invitations!

harry potter shower

Woo hoo its a harry potter themed baby shower!  I was honored when asked to help out with decorations for a coworkers baby shower.  Keep in mind, I've never read the books and can barely stay awake during the movies (sorry mrs. rowling and, weird your initials are the same as my hubby and I, jkr).  Huge props to pinterest for the ideas!!

It wouldn't be a baby shower without a diaper cake!

Interestingly enough I did most of the decoration "shopping" in my own home.  Who knew I had so many potterish items?  Everything else was either upcycled or purchased at a thrift store.  I was super stoked when I found the flying broom at my favorite thrift store ($4 score!).  And when the mr. was trimming the trees in the backyard I snatched them up before he could use them for kindling.  Also big thanks to the friend who let me borrow the very popular owl.
