Hello! Melinda and Eddie’s Friend Baby shower was last Saturday. We did a family one a couple of weeks ago but did not post pictures on that since we were using the same decorations. (Ahem Melinda) HA.

It was kind of a mixed theme: a little bit carnival, a little bit bright colors, and a “POP-ed” themed as well. Weird, but it turned out good, I think. I really didn’t get to take that many pictures of everyone, but here are a few:

My Mom actually made almost 300 feet of bunting for these parties! Big props to her.

We actually made almost 40 pinwheels for the party!

Look at this beautiful diaper cake that Justin and his mom made!

Thanks Missy for emceeing the games! You are the best. Seriously.

Thanks a bunch to everyone who helped set-up and clean after. You rock! especially you, Ashley. :]

Melinda and Eddie had a great time and really appreciated everyone coming to celebrate with them. Baby Ave Maria Sosa is lucky to have so many people that love her!

I know I am so late in finally making a post for this, but here’s some decorations we made for the Cross-trainer Halloween Party. Everything was inspired and created by me, Tracy, Marie, John John, Angelica, and Sylvie.

 

John John and Angelica painted these scary pictures and we hung them in the staircase. Made a great backdrop for the costume contest!

Sylvie made this amazing pumpkin carving!

I was inspired by this picture to make a sign out of pumpkins:

 

I saw this picture on pinterest too and wanted to make my own version of it.

We also put cobbwebs in the chamdelier which made it really spooky!

Tracy found these awesome bottles from the thrift store and we helped paint them to make potion bottles. She used them for the coffee stand. Read about it here.

I love hanging out, making things and decorating. all of these people are so great.

Tea Love

I’ve never been a coffee drinker. I tried for awhile, but ended up only getting the iced blended stuff or sweetening it so much it didn’t even taste like coffee anymore. I think it was about senior year of high school going into college I really fell in love with tea. I always associated it with fond memories like a cold night sipping it and watching a movie.

Now that I’m working, I feel like I need to have tea every morning. wakes me up, gets me warm, and helps me feel better. Green tea is my favorite! and a plus: the used bags are great for composting!

Here are some amazing tea products that have me going crazy.

From Courier Journal, these cute teacups:

Super cute packaged tea bags from Tea Forte’

 

These tea bags are designed to look like cigarettes: I’m not a smoker, but that’s pretty clever!

And if that’s not enough, here’s how drinking green tea has many health benefits:

Doesn’t this make you want to drink tea?!

Halloween Give-a-Ways

I always have fun making things at work. Now that it’s nearing the end of the year, I’m trying to come up with some new items.

This month’s focus: Halloween!

Here are some things I made last week to give out:

I bought these cute buckets from the dollar section on Target, then filled them with candy. These usually sit on people’s desks at hospitals or health care centers. Perfect for the nurses who walk by!

(Everything looks better in cellophane!)

These small bags are packed with goodies:

I got these cat bags from Michael’s on sale: four for a buck. Not too shabby.

These cute Jack-O-Lanterns were found from Goodwill still in its wrapper. Thrift stores are actually really great for buying holiday stuff for cheap. Especially if they aren’t even used!

Halloween is a great time for cute little things like these!
