No Sew Fleece Baby Blanket

I have discovered that I need to do things that can be finished quickly.

I went to a baby shower a few months ago and saw a no sew blanket
done and it was so cute. A young teenager had made it and I just loved it.
Hers was a bigger blanket made for a crib.


So I went to "You Tube" and learned how to make a small baby blanket.

I  needed a baby gift for a sweet little friend
and wanted to make her something from my heart.

So I got busy and had so much fun!!!

Here is my finished blanket. 
I just love it!

Here it is ready to put in a gift bag!

Then my little "Angel" spent the afternoon with me
and she saw the extra fabric I had and wanted to learn how to make one.

So she got busy and together we made another blanket.
It is smaller but is just perfect because "Angel" helped make it.

Didn't she do a great job?

Then I got busy and made a couple of burp cloths to go with my gift.

I just love to do projects that I can see finished quickly.

So here is my gift blanket, "Angels" blanket and the
 burp cloths all made and ready to give away.
I had so much fun making these gifts with "Angel".

Today I am thankful for.........
                                 making memories with "Angel".

Decorations For The Baby Shower

This is a lot of gifts for the new baby but as the shower
 was going on there were lots more gifts brought in.
This little baby is already so blessed.

The next few pictures are the centerpieces for the tables.
Aunt Tiff (sister of Mom to be) fixed all of this.
I just thought it was all so cute.







There were many gifts but I just loved this one. 
It was made by a young teenager, Sidney.
I was so impressed.

Isn't it so cute? 
I love it when I see young girls making things with their hands.

This is one of many burp cloths that the Grandmother of the new baby made.
(the Mother of the Mom to be)
Isn't it just darling?

What Happens on my Tractor stays on my Tractor!

This is a basket that "Big Sis" got for our gift.
I thought it was so cute.
We filled it full of baby stuff!
The shower was great!  I loved being a part of it.
I can't wait until this new baby is born.
I don't think I have ever been to a shower
that had this many gifts.
This baby is already so loved.

Today I am thankful for............gifts of love.

Food For Baby Shower

There were about 8 of us that helped with this baby shower for our friend LeAnda.
It's a boy!!!
I thought you would enjoy seeing the food that everyone
brought.  The food was as pretty as the decorations.

See those cute stars???

So pretty.

I  just loved all of this fruit.

I am not sure if my friend Jo cut this fruit up herself or had it done
but it really didn't matter. It was so good and so beautiful.
She had 2 different dips to go with it.  Yum.

"Big Sis" fixed this beautiful vegetable tray with dip.
So delicious.

I fixed the sausage balls and "Big Sis" brought
a beautiful crystal bowl to put them in.

"Big Sis" made this great cheese tray too!

My friend Reba made this chicken salad.
She also made egg salad sandwiches and chicken salad sandwiches.
She makes the best ever!

I made these chocolate candies. 
You can see how I made them here.

The tables were so pretty with all the food on there.

I was so impressed what a good team we all made.

My friend Shelly made the best punch!
It was made with Ginger ale, seven up, sherbert and vanilla icecream.

But I have to say that this was the hit of the shower!
My friend Cheryl made this cake.

Look at that edible blanket and those little edible feet!!
Isn't it darling?
**********************
I will probably have one more post about the baby shower.
It was so cute that I just thought you would all enjoy seeing the pictures.
  I haven't included any people because I failed to
get permission to post their pictures.  But I just thought this
was the cutest shower ever.  Just wait until you see how my friend Tiffany
fixed the tables. 

Today I am thankful for...........teamwork!

What do you think???

Do these look like baby shower prizes? 
My daughter Maranda & I were in charge of the prizes
for the games at a baby shower we helped with.

I saw these at the Dollar Tree and fell in love with them.
We went online to see if you were suppose to give baby items to be
given to the mother or gifts for the winners of the games.
It said either.  So we decided to make up some cute prizes that
anyone would enjoy.

We picked up some flower seeds, some candy bouquets and
cookies on a stick. 

Then we added clear rocks and a cute little picture of a babies feet.

I just thought they were darling even if we did do them.

The best part is everything came from the Dollar Tree.

We added zinnia, marigold, and sunflower seed packs
in this little garden container. 

So what do you think???
Aren't they so cute?
This is the tag that we added.
On the back it says:
Thank you for coming.


We had so much fun helping with the baby shower.

Today I am thankful for.........newborn babies.
