Dr. Seuss Baby Shower





Trivia game top left was one game we played. The bar area had One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish hanging above it. Water bottles wrapped in polka dot fabric and pinned with diaper pin were super cute.






My favorite part was the Horton Hears a Who table. I included a book for guests to write baby advice in. And yes I had to have the ultrasound picture in a frame that says "A person's a person no matter how small. Thanks Kara for the idea.
























































Cake by Pat-a-Cakes of Columbus, GA.










Little red bags were cut in half and blue cotton candy inside each one to look like Thing 1 & Thing 2



















Water bottles!


When one of my very close friends found out she was pregnant before I could think congratulations I was thinking of baby shower themes. I saw a shower done by Kara over at kara'spartyideas.blogspot.com so I can't take all the credit for some of the decor. I took the inspiration from her and fitted to this event. It was a real treat to pick from so many Dr. Seuss books and work them together to create one awesome baby shower.

New Years Eve





Dessert table.



















New Years Eve 2009 I held a last minute gathering of friends. I reused my blue and silver ornaments from Christmas table. Some were already in a silver bowl. Others I put in a glass vase with lights strung through it. I surrounded the bar with white Christmas lights and silver tinsel. Great shimmering silver candle holders made a stunning centerpiece for the table. I got creative with the dessert table I simply walked around the house and thought of ways to use what I have. I literally did not buy any decorations for this party. I took a vase from my bedroom and put some sticks in it and lights. I had some white paper lanterns from another party I hung above the table. I made cheesecake shooters for the first time. They are really just cheesecake in a shot glasses, but it makes it bite size for the guests who don't want to be weighed down with plates. We played games until the ball dropped, and then I cranked up the music to get 2010 started on a high note. Happy New Year!
