HB Sonda

My SIL was born on Christmas Day. Some people opt to celebrate birthdays that are on or near major holidays at the 6 month point. It always sounded like a smart idea to me, but then I experienced how seamless my in-laws made it look. I changed my mind. It can be done!

Baby Shower

I made a couple of things for a friend's baby shower. The letters are fromHobby Lobby. I painted them and added embossing powder to keep them shiny. I got a lollipop kit from Michaels and instead of candy, I used rolled up baby washcloths. I also made a bunch of onsie cards for the guests to write down heplful hints on how to manage different situations. We had a lot of fun and the mom-to-be loved them. TFL
