Makeover!

Thanks to "I love my blog makeover" (see link to the bottom right) I've managed to make my page a little bit more "me." I've added some pictures and done some editing so hopefully this looks a little bit more presentable!
This past weekend has been quite a whirlwind.
I first want to address my heartfelt anguish for the people of and the people that love Haiti. My prayers go out to everybody affected by this disaster. Some of us live in a very comfortable bubble and will never know what the people of Haiti are going through. We can only reach out to those that are hurting and try and make a very horrible situation somewhat better.

Right now I'm planning my big sister's baby shower, and am having an absolute ball. I haven't really had a creative outlet in awhile so I'm enjoying being able to completely obsess over this event. This past weekend I managed to get all the shopping done for the big day, favors made, games organized and made, and the guest sign-in cards made. I'll post pictures as soon as I take some!
Being that I'm on a super tight budget I've really had to stretch my imagination to accomplish everything I  my sister wants done for the shower. I was on bedrest during my own baby shower, so this has definitely been make-up time!
The favors are my proudest product. I had seen  these cute popcorn favors but wanted to create something the guests could reuse. I purchased some plastic popcorn containers and filled each with tissue paper, a sealed bag of microwave popcorn, a box of Sugar Babies, and a tag that read "Ellen's About to Pop!" with a generic baby shower thank you poem. I promise to take a picture of said item and post it!
So the shower is this Saturday and the countdown in my brain has begun. I'm preparing everything from the food and drink to the decorations so I'll be a busy girl! I'm in absolute heaven though!
