Ideas Floating in My Head...

My friend Dawn, has an amazing story. Heartbreaking. But she's getting her Happy Ending! And has asked me, to be her Maid of Honor. I'm honored. But I want to do something extra special. A little different. Definitely fun!

We've had the Bridal Shower. You know, the more formal one. That you invite everyone to. It was amazing! A little fancy. :) Just a nice way, to spend an evening together. But we want to do something fun. All of us friends. Add in a little "Lingerie Party" to it. But not go all the way with that. Do you know what I mean?

Well, I sat and thought about Dawn. She's a fun person. A great friend. Has some fun taste. I started looking for some inspiration. And here are a few ideas I've come up with.



Not necessarily ran clouds. But if you read the title of Dawn's blog...well she likes her some sunshine. I thought, I could make some clouds, with suns rising out of them. With fun colors like this. Aqua, pink, and yellow. Little fun foods. Lots of fun decorations! :)



I like this idea. Of some fun drinks. With those great straws. In our color pallet. I already have HUGE glass jars. Did anyone say Aguas? And I can think up a few fun, summer drinks to put them in.



And of course, loads of paper lanterns!!! We're planning on an outside event. A nice event. Just for us girly friends. A day to relax, laugh, and enjoy the Bride-to-Be!!!

Do you have any other ideas for us? We'd really appreciate it. Dawn, has been through so much. I want her to know, just how special she is, to all of us! And how happy we are, for her and Alejandro!!! I'm just so excited, that they found each other. ♥

Oh Peaches!

My dear friend, Rachael, is expecting her third baby. A girl! She has 2 boys, and prayed so hard, for a little girl. Because this will be the last baby, for Rach and Mike. So the news, was so exciting! And on top of that, my friends asked me, to be their daughter's Godmother!

Well, I wanted to do something special for Rachael. Mike and Rachael are such good friends. And I've known them for years! So I asked Rach, what theme she had picked out, for her sweet girl. She told me peaches! As in Georgia Peaches! Because Rach is from Georgia! :)

The Godfather and I decided, we'd split the cost of the baby's bedding. And the Baby Shower. Yes, we decided to throw them a Baby Shower. Yes, they've had one before. But, this is their first daughter. And we're just so excited!

So I began researching. And wasn't having a lot of luck. Not with the bedding. In fact, if you've seen any bedding, with peaches on it, let me know. PLEASE! But the theme for the Baby Shower, it's been a lot easier. Just look at the pictures I've found.



I just LOVE this color palette. Peach, pink, and a coral color. I'm definitely using this color combo! Those macaroons look so pretty. As does the "shake" type of drink. Yum!



How about those beautiful lantern and "puffs," as decorations? LOVE them! The soda bottles are darling! And there are those macaroons again!



This picture, gave me so many GREAT ideas! Look at the Mason Jars. As vases. Darling! Those cupcakes, look fantastic. And that curtain, oh, I just LOVE it! But in my color palette. I better get sewing!



Darn it! Everything is so cute, in this picture! I LOVE those "Peach Lanterns!" Those went to the top of my list. :) I've already ordered, some of those cute straws. And those drinks, look delicious. But it's those pops, that caught my attention! Delish!



There's that cake again. It does look yummy. But I'm thinking of using this idea, for cupcakes. :) The jar, reminded me of a peach drink, that I once had. It was a fruity, non-alcoholic punch. I need to find that recipe. Oh, and the teacup candle...so adorable!
