Thank Heaven For Little Girls....

My sweet friend Kate is expecting a precious baby girl {coming soon this summer}!

This weekend a few of us threw her a baby shower...

We had so much fun!
I volunteered to plan the craft for everyone to do...
{Yikes!}

Thanks to pinterest, I found this incredible easy tutorial for all the ladies to do.

Obviously, I had to try it out myself before I made everyone else do it! ;)

 Of course... I just had to add some ruffles... 

Ugh. I die.

 At the shower we set up a little table with all of our supplies...

The girls and I had so much fun chatting and decorating our onesies.

I must say... each onesie turned out adorable!

To add a little something personal, each girl wrote Kate a note and clipped it to their finished onesie!

I just love how they all turned out! What do you think?

Smooches-

I'm blaming it on Mom.

I have a syndrome.

It's been passed down from my Mama to me.

And guys, it's bad.

There's no technical term for what I have, but the symptoms are extreme panic, sore, burnt or pricked finger tips, crafting galore, rushing around in a frenzy, minor meltdowns, etc. etc.

Realistically, I've inherited the "Come-up-with-really-incredible-ideas-for-handmade-Christmas-presents-for-all-40-people-in-your-family-just-one-week-before-Christmas-then-attempt-to-make-all-said-presents-in-the-limited-time-you-have-available" syndrome.

Like I said, it's bad.

Happens every year and each year seems to get a bit worse.

But-

there are a few something wonderfuls about the syndrome.

1. As each Christmas project gets marked off the list the anticipation of going home builds and builds.
2. I watch non-stop Christmas movies while I work away.
3. Chocolate. There is always chocolate involved when the syndrome flares up. I think it helps tame some of the aforementioned symptoms.
4. I'm surrounded by loveliness the whole time... beautiful fabric, ribbons and lace galore.
5. I sometimes gt to experience what Rach was talking about here.

wrapped up in yuletide love,
Hansie
