Chela's Bridal Shower

On Saturday I gave my new sister-in-law to be a bridal shower. She is marrying Kristopher's brother Brady this Saturday. It was a lot of work and it kept me very busy! Of course I didn't manage to take any pictures before OR during, so these are the pictures I snapped afterward. Both Kristopher and my sister Meg were a huge help getting all the last little bits put together the night before and the morning of. We were up until about 1 am the night before! Hopefully everyone hada good time and Chela enjoyed her shower. I am getting ready to do her flowers after the family dinner on Friday night... It will be another busy weekend!



I scored these vases at DI for $1 each, and I really like them. I am still trying to figure out how I can work them into my decor at home. It's looking like it's either along the mantle or on my piano that will win out in the end, once all those holiday decorations come down. That will be a nice little pick me up come the first of January!
A big THANK YOU!! to my mom for letting us have the shower at her house. You're the best mom! These pomanders took FOR-EV-ER. I would say probably about 1 1/2 hours each, but maybe closer to 2. Definitely a project to work on once the baby's in bed while you unwind at the end of the day watching TLC. Oh, how I love TLC. Poor Kristopher... something tells me he doesn't love it as much as I do =]
Later today I am planning on hanging the pomanders and the banners up above Abby's crib. She doesn't have a mobile of any kind so maybe she will like to look at them! Her ceiling is really high (10 feet I think) so I think they will look really cute hanging from so high. Plus, they took wayyyy too long not to use again somehow.
And do you see that, there outside the window? Hello Utah winter. Welcome back. You're so pretty, and I do want you to stay for a while, but maybe ease up on the wind a little? Thanks.
