Baby Girl Shower

Pink, pink, pink!!! I love baby showers & this one was for my friend Leslie who is expecting her third girl, Joy Tatum! I hosted her shower with Holly Rawlinson, Mandy Johnston, Ashley Oliver, Jamie Blankenship, Shauna Brewer, and Katie Sandlin.
This shower theme was vintage and lots of pink!! I had a lot of fun finding things & brainstorming for this event. Some of the decorations included a birdcage painted baby pink, pink & white striped straws to go in the pink lemonade, some old books, and maternity pics of the momma to name a few. The tables were covered in light pink fabric and covered with lace doilies and had centerpieces of mason jars with garden flowers and ribbon.
We had the shower in our church foyer. The girls and I had a great time decorating!! And baby Joy got lots of goodies!! :)

Mod Podge!

My first time "mod podging" was fun!! I thought I would do the baby's name for an upcoming friend's shower. Yes, she will probably see this post, but its ok ;)
I started with white letters that I spray painted a baby pink color. Then I got antique mod podge and scrapbook paper. I tried to pick patterns that reminded me of baby Joy Tatum's room and of her sweet momma.......Scripture, birds, vintage.

Blankets for my kiddos

It's been a while since I've made a post. Been kinda quiet around the Laney household (rare!). But it gave me some time to make some blankets for the girls. I bought some incredibly soft & comfy material a few weeks ago and was excited to finally start making the blankets.
My cousin gave me her old sewing machine (thank you Shana!) which is amazing! I am still learning/self-teaching so I have a long way to go. But making little things like blankets give me some practice :)
I have one little girl who loves purple & all things princess so she got the purple & princess material. My other little girl loves Dora so she got the pink & Dora material. I even had material left over so I made their little dolls "mini blankets".......silly, yes but the girls loved it!
So the finished product?? Well......they are useable blankets made out of cute material but it just proved I need more practice and improvement. There are mistakes that are visible to me but my sweet girls don't mind....or even notice!

Random pics of our girls!

Just loving watching our girls grow & developing their own amazing little personalities!

Bunk beds

I am soooooo excited about getting our girls bunk beds!! I am, however, very picky about what kind of bunks. I don't want anything too high and I would like a lighter color wood and/or girly pattern. These are the ones I have found that I like so far. We won't be getting these beds until summer but I am shopping around early so I can find good reviews and the best price! If you have any advice on purchasing bunk beds, please share! :)
