Festive Friday - I'll Fly Away

Grab your boarding pass and jump on the Stork Airline for this super cute baby shower!  All the details are amazing and they went above and beyond with all the little extras!  Make sure your trays are stored in the upright position, and your seat belts are buckled.....we are in for a fun ride!

 

 

 

You have to agree that all the details in this party are perfection!  From the check-in to the luggage drop off, I just love all the cute ideas!  One of the things I love about this particular shower is the use of fun furniture for displaying food/props and more!  It's so much fun to see a cute dresser being used instead of a boring table!  Another thing I love about this shower is that most of it could be done on your home computer with some sort of publishing software.  There's no doubt that this would take some time, but with a little bit of effort you too could have a super cute "Stork Airline" shower !

So what do you think, will you take flight with a project like this for your next shower or will you stay grounded and serve tea and cake?

Festive Friday - Baby Davis

We are back with another Festive Friday!  This shower we are featuring today was put on with the help of Showered With Love!  This one was for one of our Besties Kelli!  Amanda and I had some help with this shower....let me show you the goods :]

I love this idea!  Onsies on a clothesline are such a cute way to decorate for a party!  They liven up any mantle and they even look cute as name banners {we sell these by the way :]}.

Speaking of name banners, here's an example of our paper name banner!  This one was placed in a photo prop station, and now resides above Baby Davis' bed!  I love things that can be shower decorations and gifts too!

Look at that spread!!!  Can you see the center piece?!?  It's a Showered With Love Diaper Cake creation and such a cute touch to the food table!

Close up of the center piece :]  I jut love these flowers!  Don't you??  Amanda rocked out this cake :]

Here's the mommy and daddy to be modeling some Showered With Love Photo Props!  These are inexpensive at 10 props for $5, and are a super fun way to add a special touch to any shower!!

I thought this was such a fun idea and I hadn't seen it at any shower before, but we all know diapers are expensive!!  We decided to get family a head start on their diaper fund with this cute decorative piggy bank that they got to keep along with the money inside!

Another fun shower put on with the help of Showered With Love!  We will send you away today with some candid photo station pics :]  Let us know if you need any props for your next party or any other decoration for that matter! Most things that we make double as a decoration and a gift!

Meet Christy

Hi, I'm Christy! I'm co-owner of Showered With Love, but there's also some other things very important to me, and I thought I'd give you a little peek into my life outside of this super fun business :]  I am a child of God, a wife, a mommy, a writer and a creator!  Let's get to the nitty gritty.....even though it's just me writing, I thought we'd do this interview style, so here goes :]

Q: Tell us about your family.

A:  I sure do!  My family is super important to me!  My husband Johnny and I have been married since 2006, and I am truly blessed to have him in my life!  God gave him to me and I hope I never take that for granted!  Johnny and I have 2 super cute kiddos named Joey and Sam {both girls:]}.  They are so much fun and energetic.  There are often times when I'm making a SWL creation and I think to myself "They didn't have anything this cool when my kids were born".  Here's a picture of us in one of our favorite places, Wisconsin!!

Q: What do you like to do in your free time?

A:  When we aren't swimming in orders for SWL, I love to hang out with friends!  I have a new found love for reading and just finished The Hunger Games series {a must read if you ask me!!}.  I also love to sing...always have loved it!  I'm involved in the choir at church and I sing on our praise team from time to time!  I love Jesus and spend a lot of time with our church either serving vocally, in our online ministry or in our Life Group!!!

Q: How long have you been crafting, and what's your favorite thing to make?

A:  I've always been crafty!  I loved to draw and color growing up and was encouraged to do so by my parents but especially my dad who is an artist!  I love to create, and in this season of life, it was only a matter of time before I got to start creating for babies and friends who were about to have babies!!  A fun fact....I just started sewing in October, and love it!  I make half of our Showered With Love Burp Cloths and have even branched off into projects for my kids and family!  Amanda, SWL co-owner, was the one who taught me to sew!!! Thanks Amanda :]  My favorite thing to make has to be our Diaper Cycles!  I think they are so much fun and make such a great impression at parties!

Well, that's a little hint into my life outside of Showered With Love!  For more, click over to my personal blog StoutsRUs!  Anything you want to ask me?  Anything I didn't cover?  Feel free....I'm an open book!

Stay tuned next Wednesday for another glimpse into the makers of Showered With Love!  We can't wait to get to know you :]

Festive Friday

We are starting a new series today to highlight some pretty amazing Baby Showers!  If you'd like us to feature your next shower, just email us at showeredwl@yahoo.com!  Now onto the shower...

The shower we are bringing you today is a super cute collaboration and was actually done for one of my best friends Liz!  Let's bring on the shower goodness shall we????

We wanted color, color, color, so we started with the invitation and expanded from there!  

Plates were stacked in alternating color so that all the colors would be in use, adding to the fun!

Candy is a hit with everyone, so we set up a candy bar with all candies colorful!

 These lanterns adorned the mantle and just about anywhere else we could stash them! The sign on the mantle was handmade with some scrapbook paper, thin wooden letters, some craft paint and decorative accent ribbon!

Food is a must at any shower, and we had some yummy goodness!  Of course the lanterns made an apperance on this table, and you can see the candy bar in the background!

What a yummy cake made by Holli's Sweet Treats!!

Adding fruit or cucumber to your drinks is an easy way to make things a little more festive!

What a fun shower :]  

Here's the beautiful Liz with her picturesque background!!

So what did you think?  Anything you see that you'd like to incorporate into your next baby shower? Showered With Love is here to help you in any way we can, so if you see something and don't know how to get it done, all you have to do is ask and we can hook you up with the know how!

Product Feature - Be A Blessing

Today's product feature are the Showered With Love's Blessing Rings!  These are so cute and a great way to be a blessing to your friends and family!

See the notes peeking through the around the edges?

We've all been to a baby shower where you write down advice for the mommy and daddy to be, and stick it in a fish bowl or something like that.  The soon to be parents go home, they read through the notes once and then the notes either get lost in the mix or thrown in the trash :[  With our blessing rings, the concept is the same, but now you have a place to tie these notes of encouragement and a great keepsake!  Blessing Rings can easily hang off a door knob, a changing table, the towel rack or anywhere else you can think of.  When the new parents are home with their bundle and can't think of what to do, or are feeling overwhelmed, they can sit down and re read these notes for a burst of energy to make it through 1 more feeding, 1 more poopy diaper, 1 more day!

If you look closely, you can see notes tied to the back :]

So what are your Blessing Ring ideas?  Where would you hang yours?  Who could you bless with one today?
