The Patchett's Baby Shower

Last weekend we hosted a baby shower for our two closest Colorado friends, Erin and Rob Patchett. Erin is due August 22, 2013 and so we decided it is only appropriate to throw a coed baby shower for Baby Patchett (BP). Another Colorado friend, Kellie, and I really did all the preparation and work for the shower and it turned out to be a huge success. For food we made a taco bar, lemon berry cupcakes, cinnamon sugar pretzels, coconut chocolate chex mix, berry lemonade, frozen wine coolers, and of course beer! I may have went a bit overboard with the decorations and games but it was a blast!

DIY Obsessed

I have recently become more and more obsessed with Do It Yourself crafting. I've expanded my supplies by quite a bit over the last year and have really begun diving into things outside of my comfort zone. Some projects I would like to do are various wood pallet furniture projects or sewing projects! This is when I most often wish I was close to family or friends because I have so many who would join me in this endeavor and compliment my skill set!

Some projects I have recently completed include:

Wood Pallet Herb Garden

Air Plant Terrariums
 

Covered Bulletin Board

 Beer Wall Art
