Ok, so this is a baby shower I threw for my good friend Amy, who has long since actually given birth to her sweet kiddo, Bennett. I don't understand what 'posting in a timely manner' means. This is her third child, but I was in Hawaii and didn't get to throw her a shower the first time around, so I'm making up for lost time, here. So.. Diaper shower! You can never had too many of those things lying around, I hear.
This was a lot of fun, although next time I will do less planning and a lot more doing before 6pm the night before. I was literally lugging my couch into the front room and throwing the cushions on it, haphazardly, as Amy was walking up my sidewalk.
I have issues.
But I think it came off well! Unfortunately, my camera crapped out, and since I was finishing it up as guests were arriving, I didn't get to take all the fun beofre pictures I wanted to, and had to use my phone camera for most of these. Drat!

| Entry! |
 |
| I decided to go with a bird theme. I have no idea why. |
 |
| Each guest got a packet with goodies for them and for Amy when they got there |
 |
| Food Table! Yes I did make that tablecloth myself, thank you! David saw me doing this and was like, "You are just going to use this once, for like 2 hours, right?" I gave him the death stare and he wisely moved off to another room with no further comments. |
 |
| I was actually pretty proud of the lanterns/balloons/tissue balls ensemble I've got going here. |
 |
| Advice and well wishes tree! Guests pinned their submissions to the branches |
 |
| 'Advice and well wishes for the new mom of three' |
 |
| Some fun examples |
