Baby Shower Party Favor
We are all better and have been for over 48 hours. I lost 10 lbs and gained almost all of it back after eating a huge amount of pizza when I finally felt good enough to eat. After my lovely cleaning lady scrubbed the house, I then scrubbed the house to get rid of germs. AND after checking with the doctor’s office one more time just to be sure we really are NOT contagious, I was ready to dive into finishing up the tasks for Evonne‘s Baby Shower!
I cannot wait! It is Saturday at my house and Quinn, Emily and I are throwing it for Miss Evonne. She has a baby boy on the way. Quinn is doing decor, Em is doing the treat (yummy appetizer, a cupcake stand, plates and cups and her awesomeness)and I am doing the food (more on that later). I thought we needed to have a party favor and I did what any other “almost twenty seven year old woman that still thinks she is in middle school” would do…a good ole fashioned MIX TAPE!
OR a totally legal burned CD for Evonne and all the guests.
I secretly asked them all to email me a song that reminds them of Evonne and then had Evonne send me some songs that expressed how she felt during this pregnancy.
I had Alma from Ollibird (oh how I love her design) design a front and back cover for the CDs. I went to FedEx and just had them print it out on sticker paper.
I hope she loves it. I really think she will.
Can’t wait to show you more from the baby shower. We love you Evonne!

I am such a sucky friend! I didn’t submit a song.
But I am excited to get a CD!
This is such a great idea! Can’t wait to get mine!
I love the “mix tape” for a party favor. How totally awesome!
The CDs turned out super cute! And why does it sound like I had a very small, lame part in the party? “Treat?” All I was in charge of was the treat?!?! I did bring a yummy appetizer AND a cupcake stand. Plus I had the plates and cups–those are pretty important too, you know… LOL
Loved this. Paul and I laughed as we jammed in the car to our new mixed tape. BEST baby shower ever.
Thank you doesn’t seem like enough.
Dang it. I forgot to take one with me. Even after you reminded me. I’m horrible.
Okay, now THAT’S better. I always try to bring my “awesomeness” to any party!
Oh I hope Von snagged one for me, I’m so sad I had to miss the shower
at least my song made in on the mix! Seriously, Vanessa, that is the BEST idea ever!!
How fun..I know she will love it!
