Monica's Baby Shower

My dear friend, Monica, is expecting her first baby this fall! I was thrilled to help welcome the new little one and bless Monica with a baby shower. I loved our "Bee is for Baby" theme - perfect for a Saturday morning brunch!

This was my favorite contribution to the shower. Our hostess "committee" was multi-talented - Lisa and Kellie cooked and baked and Laura decorated. I'm not naturally gifted in any of those ways, but I love to capture memories and make crafty little keepsakes. All the guests at the shower shared their hopes for the new baby on a "fill in the blanks" style card. (I wish I'd taken a photo!) Now they're saved in a special book the family can enjoy!

*Laura gets ALL the credit for these amazing decorations!

{Sweet Treats & Diaper Cake}

*Kellie whipped together that diaper cake like it was nothing - incredible!

*Monica's favorite "pregnancy" beverage is a combination of organic mango lemonade and citrus Perrier. It sounds fancier if we call it a "spritzer"*

*Lisa and Kellie were the chefs!*
