Shower for Baby Celia

I know how much I love to decorate for a special occasion.
This occasion was very special, the birth of my great niece Celia.

My daughter Kristy made and decorated the cake.
Not only is it beautiful, it was sooo delicious. Buttercream icing..hello 💗
This is one of her many talents.
She also made the cake for her sister Ashley's wedding!!
I made the cake banner with some card stock pretty decorative paper and some letter stickers.

My nephew named Celia after his grandmother, which is my husband's mother.
She was such a sweet lady.
Celia's middle name came from my nephew's fiancee's grandmother...who was at the shower. She is 94, not only does she not look her age, she is sharp as a tack.

Marilyn made an appearance in the decor as well.

I made a wall banner for the baby.
I so wanted it to be part of the decor, but no matter what we tried, it didn't look right to us.
So hopefully it will fit in with her nursery.

Here is a functional cake...a diaper cake :)
Not only did it serve as decor for the shower, but mommy and daddy can use them when needed...you can't have to many diapers.

My nephew and his fiancee are so thoughtful.
They gave a flower to everyone who attended the baby shower.
They even hand made the cards 💗
I was so touched by their gesture.
Then when everyone was gone, my daughter's and I were given gift certificates for pedicures for hosting the shower...talk about feeling appreciated.

I made a video on the decor :)

I hope you all have a very creative day :)

Crafting at camp

My SIL Sharon and her husband Jim are up at camp with us this long weekend :)

Besides me going for my morning and evening walks, Sharon and I have crafted most of the day.

We have been working on Pocket Letters….I did make a Thank You card for the couple that invited us for cake last weekend….but forgot to take a picture of it.

Wayne and Jim went for a couple of very long quad rides…in-between the rain.

Today is Jim's birthday, so Sharon brought up a yummy cake.

We invited my FIL and his wife over and we all enjoyed a pieced of Jim's Birthday cake…yum.

It has been an odd long weekend for Wayne and I.

Usually my dad, step mom, my baby brother and his family come up to the cottage for the August Long.

But with Ashley and Tyler's wedding coming soon, they are of course going to come up for that instead.

Also it is just the 4 of us this weekend.

Ashley and Tyler decided to stay home with their new puppy. 

They want him to get used to his surroundings first before bringing him out here.

Kristy and Blake had a wedding to attend to.

And Heather figured it wouldn't be as fun hanging with the old people as it would be hanging with her sisters this weekend, so she stayed home, lol.

We are still enjoying ourselves….just a bit (a lot) quieter this weekend.

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend…if you are celebrating it.

And I hope you all had a very creative day :)
