This Shower's Sure to be a Hoot

A few month's back I was honored to help host a baby shower for my friend Lindsey Stephens. After seeing all the precious ideas on Pinterest we decided an 
Owl theme would be perfect for her little boy Parker.
These rain drops have made several appearances at different showers. The most challenging thing about them is storage. Hopefully I've figured it out this time... taped into a tri-fold board.

Cut out letters and pasted them to pages of an old book.
A Silhouette would have made this so much easier....some day!!

Fun photo props!

We placed a chalkboard out side to welcome guests.
Jenny Thompson found a couple of really cute food ideas that played off our theme.
I think this idea was discovered on Pinterest. Honestly what did we do before we had that?
She dipped these donut holes in Nutella and chocolate sprinkles and gave them a pretzel stick stem.
So easy... precious... and most importantly... delicious. 

Because this was a morning shower, Jenny actually made banana nut muffins and topped them with cream cheese icing. They were a hit. Tiny Nutter Butter cookies and M&Ms made the eyes
and she used an orange TicTac for the beak.

The overal effect (minus the food) :)

Cookies & Milk on the Farm

 This pretty party was a baby shower for my friend Lindsay. I co-hosted with Becca Woolfolk. We were inspired by a Milk and Cookies birthday party by Sweeten Your Day.
This was a DIY project using small canvasses, burlap, paint and brads.

Tiny pull horse came right out of baby Noah's cowboy room. :)

The wooden crates were found at JoAnn's.  Red gingham napkins were
found at Hobby Lobby and folded to look like handkerchiefs.

Party Favors: cookie mix in a jar! 
Guests could choose the "extras" for their cookie mix. 

Milk Mustaches were great photo props. 

Flowers at a baby boy shower are always hard, but these cotton puffs
I found at Target worked perfectly inside my boots! :)
We had lots of delicious cookies to snack on! Thanks Becca!
Nothing goes better with cookies than milk!

I found this idea on Pinterest, but Stephanie from Let Them Eat Cake brought them to life!!!

We're sorry to go, but we really mustache!
