UPDATE: Giveaway is now closed. Lifeogolia is the last counting comment.
Well as promised, I am going to share a few things about my sister’s shower.
The first I will touch on is one of the games we played & the garland hanging behind the chairs (a few of you asked about this):
.jpg "6.10shower-07")
Game: I printed up about 30 cards with different phrases on them. The guests were asked to finish the thought/sentence/phrase. Once they were all completed I read the entire card and Lesley had to guess who wrote it. Some of the things on the cards included: “When it comes to her daddy….”, “When she is a teenager…”, “Her favorite thing to do as a little girl…”, “Her first word…”, “When it comes to pink….”, “The first time she smiles…” – you get the idea!
Garland: I’ve been working on the banner for a while. I really wanted to get a What Not Banner from Dottie Angel, but they sell out the minute she makes them! So I have been storing away vintage linens and random fabric for a while. My garland made an appearance at the shower, but it’s real home will be in the playroom.
……………………………….
The next is the banner with her name:
.jpg "6.10shower-09")
.jpg "6.10camvas-01")
……………………………….
And the tableware:
Napkins & Forks: Nothing fancy, just a little scrapbooking paper and twine…in a vintage fruit basket
……………………………….
And finally, I know so many of you love super quick crafts. I wanted to gather little notes of advice from all those that attended…and wanted them to be cute of course.
My supplies:
Unfinished wood jar from Hobby Lobby ($1.00 when it is 50% off)
Basic white tags from Hobby Lobby
Ribbon & Scrapbooking Paper from Hobby Lobby
Paper doily from my friend Marty (who was going to throw an old package of paper doilies away then thought of me!)
Japanese masking tape (you can find it all over etsy, just search for Japanese Masking tape)
Mod Podge
Spray Adhesive
Step 1: Cut ribbon to tie to top holes of tags
Step 2: Embellish with masking tape
Step 3: Cut strip of paper doily
Step 4: Glue doily to jar using Mod Podge
Step 5: Cut scrapbooking paper to fit around jar, decorative cut edge
Step 6: Use spray adhesive to glue scrapbooking paper on top of doily, add a cute sticker, wrap with baker’s twine
Other Ideas for this jar:
Little love notes
Date Night ideas
Special activities to do with kids (like a reward jar)
‘Coupon’ jar (babysitting for 2 hours; 1 back rub; 2 hours of alone time)
The sticker I used on Lesley’s jar came with a set of cards I got from Absolutely Delightful on etsy. This is the card set….I think this design is just perfect. When someone sends me a handwritten note, it communicates “you are loved” to me….goodness I am a fan of Amy’s designs!
Here are some of her other items:

annie - I collect magnets for the side of my fridge – it’s covered! When friends and family bring me back or send me a random magnet that reminded them of me – it makes me feel loved. They thought of me and they remembered. It feels really good.
Crystal - When my 8-year old nephew tells me he loves me…it doesn’t end with I love you, too…..we go 8 more times (I love you times infinity +1…I’ll love you ’til I’m an angel…etc). It makes me feel special, and I love that it gets the attention of people around us.
Kara K. - when my 5 yr old reaches out to hold my hand …
klott07 - When my son gives me “eskimo” kisses. Even though I know he hates them!
Mary Craig - My husband delivers a hot cup of coffee to me EVERY morning to wake me up, made just how I like it; with 1 splenda and a splash of buttercream creamer. Love waking up to hot coffee on the nightstand and an “Good Morning! I love you!” in my ear!

Receiving packages and letters in the mail is such a day-saver. It turns your whole day around! When someone takes the time to write something out by hand, seal it in an envelope, address it, postmark it and then patiently wait for you to receive it – it’s a special treat and you certainly know you ARE loved.

Trese - When my 3 year old comes up and says “I need a big hug mommy.”

Kaylene - When my boy comes back from an outing and excitingly empties out his pockets, saying ” mom i thought of you when i saw this……” Sometimes it’s a rock ( goes in “my boy rocks jar”) or something else. one time it was a plastic knife and a bend tack, those go into my “sweet nothings” jar. both are on the kitchen bar for all to marvel at.
