guess the baby food
candy bar poopy-diapers (that's just sick and wrong)
each person at the shower had a baby trivia question along with a bag of jelly beans.they asked jilb a question, and if she got it right, she won the bag of jelly beans
and poured it into the "ready-to-be-a-mom meter". if she answered incorrectly,
the person got to keep the bag for themselves. the levels on the "meter" were:
1. do you even know where babies come from?
2. maybe we should delay the stork for a little while.
3. your baby has a good chance of surviving the first night.
4. you're ready to bring the baby home
5. bring on baby #2!
Thankfully, she reached level 4.

camie, one of my best friends from childhood and most importantly, partner in crime
there must be something in the watera few weeks ago brooke and I put on a fabulous baby shower (if we say so ourselves) for jenny leigh. as my childhood friend, camie, can attest, my domestic skills (and aspirations to have such) fall short (way short) of any marks to be dubbed or likened to martha stewart or even that sweet little lady on pbs who makes puppets out of lunch sacks. in the world of tiramisu and creme brulee, i am proudly the boxed cake mix and pillsbury cream cheese frosting (there have been WAY too many merry miss/young women's craft projects that have gone awry...burnt/unedible bakings, cake decorations that couldn't even pass as a nursery kids creation, abandoned sewing projects, and yes, even the simple, can't-go-wrong puffy paint and applique projects). SO...having said all that, i am quite proud of the way things turned out..... (of course there was adult supervision at all times).
do you see those cute "d" (for david) sugar cookies? of course if you grab it the wrong way
it is a "p", but never mind that.
while the picture may resemble a little surprise left by a dog, it was actually an
incredibly delish cream cheese, caramel, and chocolate dip.
way steal all the pics from your sister's blog friend :)how dare you have strawberries and chocolate without me!! honestly though, the shower looked amazing :)
ReplyDeletethe shower was great, I really enjoyed that baby trivia and might steal the idea for my shower. By the way I grabbed the sugar cookies the wrong way and did think it said the letter "p" but thought it was for Pendleton so either way you look at it, it worked!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't put a picture of my oreo balls on here
ReplyDeleteLyndi, you don't give yourself enough credit! You were one rockin' homemaker with me when we were canning fruit and whipping up our Anthropologie knock off...!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow Lyndi; I'm way impressed.

Lyndi, the shower was so much fun and I was WAY impressed at your Martha skills. The food was all so good (AND it looked good, too!). Kudos to you, because I know all about your baking/craft history! ;o) I have to agree with Jenny Leigh, though...no pics of the Oreo balls???
