It's been a long time...

I can't believe it's been a month since the last time I blogged. I have been one busy chicken.
First off, we got a dog. Her name is Kimba and she is adorable. She really is a sweet dog....almost too sweet. She will cry when we close our door at night to go to bed...and she cries when we put her outside. She just wants to be with us ALL the time. Here she is....all 80 lbs of her.




I also threw a baby shower for my friend Amanda. Amanda and I have been friends since we were in 6th grade. We have been close for a long time. She had her baby on July 20th - the original date for the shower. She was 4 weeks late! After some traumatic events, the baby is good and Amanda is healthy. We had the 'redo' shower on September 14th at my house.







For the theme, I kept it simple. Outside in the grass, all white dishes and napkins, with little wooden toys as the favor. I didn't have a table that would seat 10 people - so Jim MADE me a table! How cool is that!? It turned out really cute.
We made onesies as our 'game' - which was a blast. With this group, the onesies came out tame....and I think Amanda will actually use them.

And lastly, I just finished up designing my good friend Bonnie's wedding paper - the programs, menus, table numbers, etc. It was a very fun experience - my first in the wedding world. I did my own paper when I got married, but it was very different designing for someone else! Way more pressure! But I really enjoyed it. I worked with a great printer that made the experience great. But that's where you make the money! Yikes! I need to get me a high-quality printer!
Bonnie is a great friend, and she was so sweet to have me start this new venture with her! Thanks, Bon!
