We're WILD about Babies!

 So, I guess babies are all the rave right now, because beside my own, I had a hand in two other baby showers this summer. This one was one I threw for one of my SIL, who after three beautiful little girls, finally was blessed with a boy. Eddison James was born July 3rd, 3 days after ToriLynn.

Here are the favors I did up. They were so simple and inexpensive to make. The boxes I got at the Dollar Tree (12pk for $1) and the elephant and giraffe are Sizzix Dies. The "grass" was just colored card stock and Martha Steward "grass" scissors. We just filled them with animal crackers! I also did these for a friend's shower after ToriLynn was born. Her little man, Xander, was born in Aug.

 





The little jars are full of yummy fruit dip, that went along with the fruit skewers I did up. (and did NOT take a picture of) I wrapped baby food jars with blue vellum (left over from invites) and punched labels from open card stock that I used for the background of invites.


 



This was a casual shower at my other SIL's house, so that they kids could come and play in her beautiful backyard. So, I doubled the outfit gifts as decorations. We just hung them on a clothes line with different colored clothes pins. We didn't play any games, but we did draw Thank You envelopes for door prizes. Here is the Lotto Wreath I did up that morning as I was walking out the door! :)


 

So by the end of the year, our family will have welcomed three new little ones to the gang! Two boys and a girl. My BIL's wife, is due in Dec. Although I'm not making anything for the shower itself, I'll be sure to post pictures  Her Mother and Aunt run a party planning business and her Aunt is a photographer. So I'm TOTALLY excited to see what they have planned! :)  
 

The New Addition!
