erica's bee shower!

My dear friends Erica and Earny having their first baby! What better reason to celebrate? Together with friends, we hosted a shower at our church. We chose "What will it bee?" as the theme, as they are waiting to find out what they're having. I envy their self control. ;)

Favor toppers by Paper and Pip were perfect for lemon drops, cute hand-made paper poms made by my friend Melissa decorated the space and tables, and guests enjoyed our baby bee scratch-offs and bingo cards during the gift-opening!

I had ordered some cute paper straws from Etsy, however they didn't arrive in time... which sent me on a wild goose chase the night before the shower looking for straws for our flags. We ended up hand-picking the yellow straws from a basic multi-pack of straws from CVS.

It was a fun celebration, and the mom-to-be was radiant. So happy for them, and excited for their little bundle to arrive!

little robots

A few weeks ago, a customer contacted me about making scratch-offs for a robot-themed baby shower. How could I resist? And so the Inklings Robot was born. Scratching the shiny screen on his belly reveals "System Error" for the losing cards, and "You Win!" with a heart on the winning cards.

Inklings "little robot" scratch-offs are available in sets of 24, and also in smaller sets of 12 that make them a perfect little game or goody bag stuffer for children's parties or showers. They are in our "Pool Blue" which is a great gender-neutral color that works for boy or girl themed events.

What will you use them for?
