We wanted to bring in good energy!!!! I have many hopes and dreams for this new year .Many more house projects that we didn't get to last year!!!! Luckily hubby likes my ideas!!!! Here are some of the projects and events that when on last year.

Vintage baby shower part 2

I posted some photos yesterday and now I have more to post!!!!!! We had a blast playing a few games with the guests and we tried to be creative since this was a coed shower!!!!! Our first game was literally an ice breaker!!!! We placed little babies in dixie cups(we put water to cover babies and froze them ahead of time) and who evers baby melted first was the winner.It is called the water bag game.It really made people laugh so it was a good start to the party!!!!! Here are more photos.

I don't know how to edit the possessed look in my eye in the photo!!!! LOL .I think it was someone else flash reflected in my eye. The details of my outfit: Blue ruffled dress .I found on clearance at Marshalls for $7.(score) it was past knee length in the front and had a longer train in the back. The beaded sweater was mine and I found it cleaning my kids drawers last week.I think I haven't seen it in at least a year or longer.It matched the dress perfectly!!!!! I bought the headband at Khols .It had a retro look to it( it had a little netting attached) and I also found a leather feathered cuff bracelet there. I also wore black patent leather high heeled boots that I previously had.Probably one of my least expensive dresses that I have ever bought but that looked and felt high end.

Vintage Baby Shower!!!!!

Our daughter's baby shower was yesterday!!!! It was a success!!!!! Our theme was "vintage baby" so I collected items for months. My good friend Maureen came over the day before to help me do the final baking and setting up.

Our daughter Paloma was glowing at her shower.We gave her a crown and banner to wear for the special event.We had a houseful,at one point I was overwhelmed and exhausted but had a great time.In the photos I can tell how tired I was!!!! It was a full day,most of the guests came before 2 pm and then left around 5 and then a second set of Paloma's friends came after 6. We were entertaining past 11:00pm. The house looked great !!!! I tried to take photos of everything before people showed up. Here are the photos.
