Traci's Woodland Themed Shower

This past Saturday, I helped throw a woodland themed baby shower for my good friend Traci. I've known Traci since I was an awkward high schooler and she was my discipler...I'm glad to be able to call her my good friend and SUPER excited to meet Emilia! =D Kudos to everyone who was apart of the planning committee...everything came together really well and the food was awesome! Congrats again Traci!

Some highlights of the day...

The table with all the decor and food!


Sumiko and I made these... no, they are not squirrels, they are foxes...
Wendy made the leaves for this tree...and these squirrel stamps that she HAND carved...I'm still amazed!


Traci's friend Shelley, made these awesome birdies!

And she brought this cool vinyl tree trunks and branches...I would really like to have those in our house!


And of course, the food...



I decided to make woodland themed cupcakes of toadstools and moss. The "toadstool" cupcakes were vanilla cupcakes with a lemon frosting dyed red and white chocolate chips, and the "mossy" cupcakes were chocolate cupcakes with a chocolate center and coconut frosting topped with coconut flakes.

And just for kicks, Traci's friend who hosted the shower at her house had this for a knife block...it's so awesome yet disturbing!

There are some awesome photobooth pictures that I'll load as soon as I can.

  3. Thanks for taking all of those photos, Rita! Like I told T, it was the next best thing to actually being there, and I'm still so bummed that Kaia got me sick the week-of . . . c'est la vie! I'm glad our fox/squirrels came together, and really enjoyed crafting with you. Thanks for all of your investments of time during an especially busy season for you, and here's to more crafting fun in our future!
