Owl Together Now!

Whew!  The baby shower I did for my darling SIL was yesterday and it was a huge success!  I was so happy to see her giddy with joy about her shower and the gifts everyone brought her.  She's one of those women that I admire deeply for her dedication to my brother and their family.  I'm so glad she's in my family and I get to be an Aunt because of her!  Thanks, Angie!  :) 

The theme for the shower was "Whoo-Ray!".  I took that and ran with it.  I'm really into owls right now, and I couldn't help but use that darling sleepy one from Create a Critter.  It fit so well!  The centerpieces fit on 6 tables and were a hit!  The ferns were from our Great-Grandpa's yard and the pine cones were from my yard.  We were thinking "woodsy" for the centerpieces.  I'd say we achieved that!

There were 18 bags with two owls on each for the tables. It was so fun to make them!!

I've always wanted to make a banner but have never had an occasion to need one.  This party seemed perfect!  I cut "WHOORAY!" from Storybook and the squares are from Fabulous Finds. I was so happy with how this banner worked.  It was so fun!

Our next decoration was a tree full of owls!  It was sooo cute.  I loved this element of the decor.  It was quite windy, but those little owls survived the storm! 

We had a diaper cake sitting on the table with the tree and put some branches around it so it was sitting in a nest.  Everything that we put out just made it all that much cuter.  Here's a picture of the whole table with the tree and cake. 

I would like to send my sincerest thanks to Jill, Missy, Patty and Paige for helping me make this event one that Angie will remember.  It was a blast working with everyone, and I hope you had has much fun as I did!  Thank you, thank you!  I couldn't have done without you.
