Let them eat cake!

Hey girls! Here is the famous MOMMA of mine who made my shower SO beautiful and just what I had wanted!! She worked SO hard on all the details, and I hope she knows how much it means to me!

So mom and I had a hard time taking pics, we kept goofing around!

Not sure what these faces meant, pretty sure that we weren't STINKY or anything! LOL

I guess this one's a little better:)

My camera was taking some really fuzzy looking pics that day; now it ticks me off that they didn't all come out so clear!!

And ta-da...

Here are the Mini Wedding Cakes that each guest received to eat at my shower!

Aren't they the cutest?

Yep, my mom made like 30? of these, one for each guest!!

The cake flavor was PUMPKIN and oh so good! You can click on the pick to see all the detail she put into the frosting! I definitly think our guests were surprised!!

Sooo... do you want to see pictures of the gifts we received?

I didn't want to post yet and appear that I was being "showy" or "greedy";

but that we are grateful for all the wonderful things we received!!

Sorry to not put all the pics into one post but I've got a lot going on with a project due this week for one of my classes, making room around here for the "new", laundry, ... etc.

Its  just easy for me to post a few at a time!

Hope you have a great Monday!

Bridal Shower Sneak Peek ♥

Hey girls! Just wanted to give you a quick sneak peek of my wonderful shower today! It was so much fun; everything came out absolutely beautiful! My mom made almost all of the decor; isn't she talented? I got lots of great gifts and had an amazing time! But I am POOPED! So I will be back tomorrow with more:)

Hope you have a great night!

So little time to do so many things!

Hi girls! Sorry no pics uploaded yet but I have tons to share... the caramel apple shower favor DISASTER!! Note to self: NEVER make your own 3 dozen candy apples EVER again! Last night, all the caramel, sprinkles, and peanuts SLID OFF to the bottom of the wrapper!!!!! Ugh!

On a happier note... I received my Fall Swap today from my partner Amy and she spoiled me!! Can't wait to show you all! I also have received several shower gifts in the mail this past week, along with sweet cards/goodies from darling people like Holly!! Thanks again!

Tomorrow is the bridal shower and I have a new sitter coming for the 2nd time to watch the boys, my house is in shambles so I need to let that be my focus tonite! I will have TONS of pics to share with you over the next week; so get ready!

I love you all and thank you for your support/love/advice during my "Calgon, take me away" moments lately!! :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mostly Wordless Wednesday: WHEW!

This is me... an exhausted BRIDE to be!

I haven't even gotten to my wedding day yet and I feel like I could collapse! (11/14/09)

The past couple weeks have been full of getting the wedding invites addressed and mailed (sent 2 to my boss by mistake, oops!, trying to find something to wear to my bridal shower (this Saturday), purchasing almost 4 dozen apples, nuts, caramel, sprinkles, bags, sticks, and ribbon- creating the tags to go with them, cleaning out cabinets and the pantry to get rid of old stuff that will be replaced with new gifts from the shower... and on and on and on! WHEW!

All the exhaustion will be worth it come Nov. 14th when I marry my handsome silly man!

Thanks for joining me for MWW!
