Madelyn Rose Collins Baby Shower

I love parties, and hosting one for my sister/best friend and first niece... I had so much fun! I borrowed the idea for the shower from my friend Leslie. http://goodbyehousehellohome.blogspot.com/ My mom & my friend Honey helped me decorate. Carol stayed for ages afterward, helping with clean-up. Everyone brought scrumptious food, and lent me their birds. Aren't I blessed in friends?!


A pin for the lovely "mommy-to-be."

Each table had a "nest" centerpiece that my dad made. Pink pacifier napkin rings- love it!
The pink bird stickers were a steal! $1.49 for about 50!

Madelyn Rose's dress, her Mommy's bonnet, and her Mimi's baby shoes.

So thankful that we got our room finished in time! (Carpet was put in Thursday!)

This cake was an absolute work of art! Amy (picture below, right) actually made the baby and bluebird! It was exquisite, and delicious!

Cathie & Amy chatting.

We even had a real lovebird! Jerrel lent us "Love" for the day!

Buying baby girl gifts was so much fun!

Pink, pink, pink! So many beautiful gifts from friends.

Carol, Christy, Valerie, Cathie, Amy

Pam, Dailey, Caitlan

Mom, Corticia, Nana, Honey

What a wonderful celebration. We can't wait to meet you, Madelyn Rose!

Behold, children are a gift from the LORD...

Beautiful shower for a beautiful mommy to be! I love the name Madelyn Rose also.
And believe me and my budget or lack of one, buying baby girl clothes is sooo much fun, just ask Stacie how much fun I have:).
Congrats to the new parents for me.
