oh boy!

having baby K was the best thing that ever happened to me. 
and i am so excited for our good friends katie and dave who are having a baby boy in 4 weeks! 

after painting, baking, and packing my jars & platters until 3am the night before the baby shower (yes - i'm a procrastinator), i'm happy to show you a beautiful baby shower for the beautiful katie shin! 

Oh Boy! theme created by the super talented Hannah Lee
name tags - our names mysteriously turned into boy names
hannah aka hannes proudly wearing her creative name tags
$12 craft: bought wooden letters at a local store (nat & helen's) & painted them blue/gray
the final result! adds character to the dessert table, no? :)
spent time separating colors from my sprinkles... oh boy!
for these rice krispies! thank you hubby for helping me dip these in chocolate!
yummy banana bread chocolate mousse cake i bought at a local bakery (bittersweet cafe)
baby K's contribution: her hippo! lemon bars & pretty paper i found at paperboy to add color to the table
my signature dessert - oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
these ridiculously cute designs by hannah lee!
my job was... the sweets table! from apothecary jars filled with candy to m&ms for desserts to be placed on top... can you tell i have the biggest sweet tooth?!
on the reverse side of the yellow paper above was this cute gray/yellow "shower" pattern
hannah & her friend made about 15 of these pretty poms!
jelly bean goodies for guests - made by anita & hannah
all for this amazing mommy-to-be! (& yay for the rice krispies!)
can't forget a pic of my baby K! her "cheese" pose (purple sweater by Gap, dress by Gingersnaps - Phillipines, Ugg "Boo" boots)
happy baby shower!
