Party, Party, Party!

It's been a week of parties around here and I'm afraid I haven't spent much time visiting. If you've been by and left a comment please know I'll try to get by soon. We're busy getting ready for the start of school on Monday and have another party to attend Saturday. My modem died and had to be replaced so I haven't even started visiting all Barb's rooster party guests yet!

My mom held a baby shower for my sister and her sweet hubby last weekend. I couldn't find an invitation I liked so I scanned scrapbook stickers into my paint program and played with the colors some. I cut away the background electronically and added in a field of little dots and the wording. I love playing with graphics! But you know that already!

Here's the happy couple waiting for their little bundle of joy!

I wonder what the record is for the tallest newborn?

With mommy at 6'2" and daddy even taller, I think we might have a winner here!

It was a day filled with precious things and sweet people.

Unfortunately, I only got photos of things before the party started.

I spent the rest of the day as game hostess and secretary! It was a family shower with hubbies and kids so we had lots of fun guessing "How big is mamma's belly?", unscrambling words relating to babies, and playing round after round of Baby Bingo for cool prizes. When it was all over they had lots of lovely gifts to pack up for the drive home. As for "mamma's belly", I'm not allowed to say but I do know it will soon be too big for her to climb into daddy's monster truck!

I hope you're having lots of fun with family and friends as summer starts to wind up. I know there's many more weeks on the calendar before fall but for me, having school start mid-August really puts an end to the carefree feeling of summer. Forecast for the first week ~ 102 plus!
