Tania's Baby Shower Part 1

I'm so behind, it's been like 3 weeks since Tania's shower and I haven't posted any of the goods I've been dying to share! I had so much fun working with Jamie and Shellee to put the shower together- Tania totally deserved every little bit of it, she's a sweet sweet girl who really helped me feel welcomed when we moved here and gave me so much great infertility comfort! and now she's pregnant with twin girls and moving across the country :(


anyway enough sob stories- and some pics of the goods! (i apologize for some of the not so great and sporadic pics, I do have 8 month old twins so it's a miracle i actually had time to do any of this!) Here are some of the decorations i created with a pink on pink theme...

Candles

Totally simple, wrapped ribbon around candle and attached with art accentz terrifically tacky tape by provo craft (the best double sided tape ever which i used for pretty much everything you see below!) used stamps from the by ones & by two's stampin' up set and water colored them (i used watercolor pencils and a blender pen) and attached them with a couple dimensionals.

Washcloth lolly pops

I lifted this idea from my friend emilie and her mom. I bought a pack of washcloths from target (6 for 2.99) and folded them into a strip about 1 1/2 wide rolled into a tight spiral, attached another folded washcloth using my terrific tacky tape and rolled around the 1st, and did this with one more wash cloth. I then attached a Popsicle stick with my tacky tape and took a piece of cellophane and wrapped it around the lolly pop finishing it off by tying a bow with ribbon around the cellophane and Popsicle stick. I put 2 of them in pink pails i found in target's dollar section and while crinkle paper. Super easy and super cute!

Napkin rings

I used some more stamps from the same stampin' up set (by ones & by twos) with "twin phrases," punched them out using a scallop circle punch, punched a small hole (1/8") i think and attached the tag to a piece of twine tied around a rolled napkin. and I almost forgot- of course I inked the edges of the tag, nothings complete without a little ink around the edge right?!?

Diaper Cake

See upcoming posts for how i did the diaper cake... I have a couple more to do so i'll put together some better instructions :) But for a teaser, it's hard to tell by the pic, but this one square in shape, complete with a sparkling cider in the center!
Live saver Pacifiers

Jamie created these for the "don't say cute" game, I know they are made with jelly bellies and 2 live savers, I think the jelly bellie is attached with a frosting paste of some kind, but not sure! and a ribbon is put through the live saver to make it a bracelet, necklace, or ring!Here are a couple pics i "borrowed" from Tania from the actual shower. Some wonderful food, trays, flowers, and candles, topped it all off!

And can I just say (sorry if it's too much info) but out of pocket I only spent $25 on decorations and gifts! I may be giving ty a run for his money!
