Mother's Day Card from Baby Holt to his Mommy

Baby Holt and I made a Mother's Day card for his mommy today. I borrowed the poem from my sister. She had written it a while ago for her daycare kids. She had told me that her little daycare kids helped her write it! I thought it was so cute:) We put his little hand in orange paint and stamped it on the inside of his card. :)

Create a Critter Cricut Baby Shower Book Signing Sign

We are having everyone write a wish or prayer and sign their names in a children's book for the baby:) We are using the hardcover book "Love You Forever" By Robert Munsch

Softly she sings to him:
"I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be."

Baby Monkey Card

Grandma Tutu asked me to make a baby shower card, that went with our jungle/safari shower theme, for her to give Shelby. This is what I came up with:)

Create a Critter Cricut "Advice for Mom" Sign

This idea for an "Advice for Mom" shower activity idea came from Pinterest (of course) :). I made ours to go along with the theme of the shower. You fill out the little green leaves with your advice for her and pin them with tiny clothespins to the ribbon vines:) I will have a stack of paper leaves sitting beside it. Also, two mason jars. One filled with pens and the other filled with tiny clothespins:)

Married People Night Out! at River Ridge church

(The food table after the event)

I was tasked with decorating and cooking for the Married People Night Out events at our church with Kacie. This is the second event that we have done so far. I came up with an idea for the centerpieces for the 15 tables I had to decorate (and the small cafe tables in the food area). I didn't want to spend a lot of the church's money so I took a look around my house to see what I had a lot of. I had been collecting bottles to make a wine bottle chandelier but never got to it. And, I had bought around 60 framed mirrors from the Dollar Tree to make the Chippy Window Pane mirror from the Pottery Barn but never got to that either! So, I decided to prime and paint the 23 bottles in chalkboard paint and make easels out of the Dollar Tree mirrors. I went online searching for an easy cheap way to make the easels but couldn't find anything. I am posting here what I ended up doing to make the little easels for my church. (And the chalkboard bottles)

My idea board for the "LOVE" theme:

The "LOVE" sign I made out of silverware:

The smaller chalkboard bottles I made for the small cafe tables in the food table area:

I was so busy that night I never got a picture of the centerpieces on the big tables but someone had taken this and posted it to Facebook:

I had added these little metal bait cages (for fishing) to hold the chalk onto the larger bottles which were on the he larger tables in the sanctuary.They were there to write love notes on the bottles by the attendees ;) I had bought them at the 100 Yen store while living in Japan. You can buy them here: Metal bait cages
