Finally I am able to show and tell what I’ve been working on for the past couple of weeks! March has been a busy month in itself, but today we had a shower for my sister-in-law, Bethany!
I am so extremely happy and excited for her! At the same time, it’s a bitter sweet thing because the guy she is marrying, Garth, is in the military and stationed in New York! That’s like a gazillion miles away from all of us! Bethany and I are pretty close and it just feels weird to think she will be so far away. But I’m glad she will be with her true love. Anyway, moving on before I tear up!
The shower was a ‘mood’ shower. It’s a neat idea for a shower that my sister had done for me before I got married. Everyone is sent an invitation that has a ‘mood’ the bride is in. The mood could be cleaning, romance, decorating, gardening, and so on. You are then to bring a gift that will help the bride with her mood. It’s quite fun to see what everyone will bring to match the mood. Her 2 cousins (and mine too now) Michelle and Melody hosted along with myself. I was in charge of decorating, so I choose the theme to be lady bugs. Bethany likes lady bugs and that what her mama called her growing up, so I went with that. It was fun!
We had a good amount of food, and I added a few personal touches to kind of tie the theme in. I made lady bug pretzels,
and red and black chocolate covered Rice Krispy's,
some lady bug crackers,
and you can’t go wrong with red strawberries and strawberry lemonade!!
All the food looked great! Michelle made everything else and made it all look fantastic!
It was so much fun and Bethany got some great gifts to start her marriage off with!
I just hope we have a good while longer before we are doing this again for Autumn!!
I hope Bethany had as much fun as we did! She got to wear her ‘wedding’ shoes. She had picked them out to wear with her wedding dress, but is going to end up having to wear flats because the heels make her to much taller than Garth (and he’s tall)!!
Best Wishes you two!!
