Welcome To the shower!

Welcome to our home! We are so happy to share this day with you:)

This has been so much fun! (Please ignore the extension cords from our Christmas lights, lol)

We had a "diaper drawing" which was super fun. Everyone who brought a package of diapers could enter

thier name on a ticket to win the red bag of goodies on the table. It was full of a chocolate cookbook, giant muffin tin, and all sorts of yummy goodness. We also did another drawing for the quilt you can see, by drawing out an advice card that the guests were asked to fill out. I wish I would have used my camera instead of my phone, the pictures aren't the best.

We had a "candy bar" with red plastic bags that our guests could fill to take home. I also did Hershey bars with a thank you note from Maggie and Nikson for our guests as well.

In the back of the picture, you can see Mag's maternity picture, It's so cute! What a wonderful 

treasure. We also had a finished quilt to tie, that turned out super cute. It has red with white polka dots on the back.

Another view of the table.... You can see a picture of My dad (Nikson is being named after him.....) in his dress uniform from the fire department. You can also see a photo of my dad and brother in their turn out gear, and just behind it is a photo of Maggie at about 2 years old sitting in Unc's pedal fire car. I can't wait to see them hanging in baby's room.

More decorations for Nikson from his Mimi..... I LoVe that the shower decorations can be used again in his room.

Meet Maggie :) 5 More weeks to go! 

We played some quick games....( 2 of them are in the baby shower party pack), and gave out lots of prizes.....The Maggie opened her gifts.

Then we had lunch..... chicken salad and rolls, a veggie tray, chips, fruit, and white chocolate dipped oreos rolled in silver sprinkles (They were AwEsOmE!)  Can you see the GIANT diaper cake from Kara and Momma Janene? How cool is that!                 

All in all, it was a pretty sappy day for Maggie, my sister, and me. Every time she opened a firetruck, we all bawled like babies.  

What a blessing and a humbling experience, to see how family and friends can come together to celebrate a new life. Now for the hard part!!!! Waiting!!!!

Thank you friends, for sharing the day with us!

Virtual Baby Shower

Hi friends:)
I have been MIA this last week..... I have been busy planning a baby shower

for my Maggie. Since I know you all couldn't make it to my house, I have decided to invite you to the virtual shower!!!!

I'm so excited with it! 

So, here's the invitations I came up with. I used the graphics from the 

Fire safety bundle. We couldn't choose between the designs, so we printed up some of both.

We went with the fireman theme because baby is being named James after my dad..... sniff sniff....

I have had the best time finding treasures for the party!

Tune in tomorrow, so we can share the shower with you :)

An apology from my soap box.......

Hi Friends:)

I just wanted to take a second and apologize to those whom I have offended,

or have failed in any way. I know I have misplaced and just plain forgotten requests, or taken 6 months to

finish one. I really am sorry. I'm so grateful for all of you, and am doing my best. Please understand that I do have a full time job as well as a family to look after. 

To those who are irritated by the content or pricing of my work, thank you, for taking the time to review it and offer your advice. I take each comment into careful consideration. I realize that graphics are priced differently from other artists. I stand behind the work that I produce. It is hand drawn. I very rarely use the same graphic in more than one bundle. Maybe I'm just not the artist for you.

Now, off my box:)

Thank you so much to all of you who have stuck by me, and have watched my work morph

into the quality of graphics I can offer today! Thank you for your encouragement, ideas, and patience. But, most of all, thank you for your friendship.... both old and new. YOU are truly the reason I draw silly kids at 3:00 in the morning,lol. Love you to bits!

Who's ready for a fun, new kind of giveaway?? Well, are you as obsessed with Ipsy as we are? I mean, you've got to admit, it's pretty amazing.  Who doesn't love a little surprise something in the mail? We sure do! And it seems like most of the developed world does too! Monthly Subscription Boxes are all the rage -- and just about every kind of company is hopping onto this wagon!  You can even get a monthly subscription box for a fisher lover... or your dog! How's that for cool?

So some of us bloggers got together and thought, "Why can't WE do this?" Obviously we don't have the inventory to have a subscription box... but we can't resist a little mystery box!

Special thanks to Melonheadz for making our "box" and to Teacher to the Core for designing the graphic!

Each month, the bloggers above will host a giveaway of special goodies AND digital products! What kind of goodies, you ask? It's a mystery! But we'll be sure to put some of our favorite teacher goodies in there. If you win, a special mystery box filled with our favorites will arrive at your door! You'll enter by visiting, following, and leaving a comment on each of the blogs. The more blogs you follow and comment on, the better your chance to win! Admit it. You're totally psyched. And you should be! April's box is ready to ship!

What amazing goodies could possibly be inside this box?? One lucky winner will soon find out! Will it be YOU? a Rafflecopter giveaway


**** A little clarification: This fabulous idea was not mine, I was just lucky enough to be asked to join in on the fun! Please be sure to visit the other ladies, and see what they have to offer as well. I'm super excited to be included:)
