Shower Scrapbook

My latest project stems from
a very successful baby shower for
my sister-in-law Stephanie.
I asked each attendant to bring
a letter written to Daphnie!
It was so fun to see what everyone
wanted to tell her already.
Each person had their picture taken and
then I took it from there.
This is just a quick glimpse!


Jared, Steph with baby shower invite!


Grammy's sweet page.


Each invite (near or far),
received a piece of stationery.
They were asked to send the letter
back with a picture of themselves.
That way, Daphnie will be able
to know all her family and friends better!


Homemade gift page!!
Loved it!




Letters from her family were precious to read!


Best friend and her letter!!



Some pages were just to have fun!
And show off the cake!



Of course, here is my page!
Shaun thinks I look weird in this picture.
Oh well, not much to choose from!


Even Great Grandma's wrote poetry!!




Precious words of wisdom!



So many good friends!




And I had to showcase the food!!



Look at the LOOT!


Sweet email from my cousin!



Fun gifts!




I love this page, my sister
and brother are so photogenic!!


Why do I look like such a cornball??


Sisterly love...and a beautiful necklace!


Everyone participated in
the letter writing!!


We did have a few games,
and yes, I documented them too!



This is the last page!
I had to put my brother on it!
He looks great with the stroller in hand!
Daphnie, you are lucky to
have the greatest parents ever!!


The End.
Now I just have to
wrap a pink bow around it and
deliver it to Sweet Stephanie!
(Maybe I will bring it to the hospital next week when she is born.....)

Pull out the Umbrella!

So, yes, I was in charge of my sister's
bridal shower this past weekend!
And, yes, we had a great time!
I just finished my scrapbook that I will give to her
as a memory keepsake, and I wanted to share my ideas with you all.
I had her read an excerpt from a 1950's textbook
entitled "How to be a good wife" (yes we all laughed!)
...then each person had to write their own
advice to her, 2009 version,
about how to be a good wife and
I then compiled it into the scrapbook!

Some pages show the gift giver, the gift and the advice!


Heather did an amazing job at adding a homemade touch to her gifts!
A pot with the letter 'E' hanging from it! (for Eich)
...and a homemade journal!


More beautiful girls!




Sweet Jan and Grandma !




More friends!




Below is Kalee's sweet future Mother-in-law, Betsy and her mother, Betty!
It was so nice of them to come all the way from Durango to share the day with us!





And there is always me and Grandma D!
(I still need to write my advice, I really need to think of something good!)




And of course, the mother of the bride!
I had to put this picture in!
She is still working on her advice as well!


Sweet Barb and Dana!



Lyssa and Linda.



The group and the food!
Oh. I love a party!


Angie and Brenda!



Kalee opening the shower gifts!!



The greatest hostess, Pam!!
(And the wedding coordinator!)


Thank you Pam!
We couldn't have done it without you!

(she is below on the left with the yellow background)



Coleman came at the end, thankfully,
to meet the ladies and help carry the gifts home!








What a match made in heaven!
Just a few more weeks til the
wedding!!
And Kalee will be Mrs. Eich!
