A very pink intimate babyshower

A few weekends ago, I was part of the decoration team for one of my dearest friend's babyshower. She's having a girl, and since I have a boy, I was very very hungry for pink. And although I'm not a pink-loving kinda gal, having the chance of using it all over the place wasn't something I was able to resist. Per the honoree's request, we tried to keep it low key and simple.

My first task was this diaper cake. My first one ever and I'm so proud. I got compliments from everyone that attended :).. instructions comming soon.

I also made pink pina colada cupcakes with buttercream frosting. They were so yummy and such a hit!

I bought this juice container on clearance at Macy's for $25 and filled it with ice and pink lemonade, we cut slices of lime for a little color. It looked so refreshing and was also a hit!

We did three flower arrangements that we put on each of the tables we had. Simple purple and pink flowers using fish bowls from Michael's with purple glass beads. This fish bowls are so versatile, I've used them over and over again from my engagement party, to my wedding, and other parties. One of the other girls made foam figures and we glued them to wood sticks and placed them among the flowers.

We didn't want a bulky guestbook, so we purchased a frame and mat and put a sonogram picture and had everyone sign it.

Since the honoree is a self proclaimed anti-babyshower woman, and doesn't like games, we bought little shirts and onesies along with fabric paint. Everyone made their own design and she got to keep them for her baby.

First post - RIP MJ

I finally came around to start my blog. I hope to write about all sorts of things I enjoy and don't enjoy. I'm sure many other gals will relate, dealing with a brand new marriage, brand new baby, building a career.. and if that weren't enough, keeping alive my love for music, fashion, crafts, all things geeky.

And it's hard to start it today without mentioning MJ. First, I can't believe he's gone; I'm still in denial. I was never a big fan at all, but his music inevitably had a huge influence in mylife, mostly childhood memories.
I know the guy had tons of personal issues and for many it's hard to disregard that part of him. DH says I find an excuse for everything and everyone, and maybe I do; but I can't help to think MJ's weirdness and all bad behaviors were a result of a stolen youth, influenced by a rain of fame and who knows what other stuff that he was put through. We'll soon forget his mistakes, but his music will sure live on forever. RIP MJ
