Project 365 and a Shower

Yesterday was my friend's baby shower! We had a lot of fun prepping for it and making the invites, the diapers (more on that later) and for me, the cookies. THOSE cookies. The ones I've made for every baby shower I've gone to since we've been married. This would be my 6th time making these. I still love the way they turn out, but I'm feeling a bit of creative slump, haha.

A pretty platter of party cookies!

This is the place for the baby to be when not being held... I don't think she made it in there through the whole evening.

The food. Gotta have food.

The 'diapers' everyone was to wear.

We played a couple of games. One of them included these diapers. Everyone had to put one on, and inside two of them was a nasty lil surprise. The rest were just stuffed with toilet paper (don't worry, the nasty surprise was just chocolate chips). These were made from baby washcloths. It was quite fun. The other game was the 'pass the present' game. A story was read about "Mrs. Right", and every time you heard 'right' or 'left' you had to pass the gift you were holding in that direction. It made it's rounds, that's for sure! The other activity we had (oops, I forgot to take a pic of that) was making onesies. A bunch of onesies were on the table, along with fabric pens. Each of the party members was to decorate a onesie for the baby. Mine was a cupcake on the front with the word 'muffin' across the bum.

Our presents, all neatly displayed within the heirloom cradle.

The frame in front is another thing we did for her. A picture of the baby with everyone's little bits of advice written in white ink on the purple paper. Isn't it sweet?

Baby M playing on the floor.

The guest of honor trying to act surprised (we got there a little late with our cameras, so she humoured us)

Opening gifts. Baby C really liked the first one, and it would probably fit her. She paraded around holding the hanger for all to see. :)

Again, congratulations Megan on your little sweet pea!
