Baby Shower Peep Wreath!

I have received a few request about how I made the Peep Wreath for Dana & Ryan's baby shower a few weeks back... so here it is...

First of all this was not an original idea... I was searching for fun decor ideas for baby showers and came across this... http://www.gerberadesigns.com/triedandtrue/?p=310.

Below is my tale of this fun crafty project!

First I started with a straw 12" wreath from Hobby Lobby and wrapped it in white tulle. This kept the straw from falling off the wreath and making a big mess.

Second... open all of your Peeps packages and separate the chicks for easy application onto the wreath.

Next... plug in your glue gun and go to town. There was no method to laying out the peeps on the wreath for me... just random application and fun!

All done!

I added a bow and a "Welcome... come on in" card and all finished!

Happy Mother's Day!

This past weekend my sister, mom and I enjoyed a fun 24 hour road trip to San Marcos for a retail adventure... if you have never been to the Outlet Mall in San Marcos you have to go... they have everything you could ever want; from Pottery Barn/William Sonoma to Gucci and Fendi to Old Navy and Jcrew!

We left Friday after work and came back Saturday evening. It was a quick trip but we enjoyed ever minute! Friday we had dinner at the Gristmill in Gruene, TX and it was really good! Then enjoyed Cracker Barrel on Saturday before we drove home... nothing is better than shopping, eating really good food and hanging out with two of my favorite people!

It was a great weekend and the perfect way to celebrate Mother's Day. I look forward to many more trips just like this one!

Mom, I am so grateful for your constant love and devotion to our family. I am so blessed that God chose me to be one of your daughters! Thank you for the daily example you show me... I love you very much! Happy Mother's Day!

Feather their Nest Baby Shower!

This last weekend Jay and I hosted our dear friends baby shower. It was so fun and we are so excited to meet baby Piper in a few short weeks!

Day After Photos

A few weeks ago Jay and I took our "Day After" photos with Clark Lara, our amazing wedding photographer. It’s not really “the day after” obviously, since we got married 5 months ago.... The day after session is a fun way to get some additional wedding portraits in a much more relaxed setting. And I won't lie... it was really fun putting on my dress one more time!

Check out some of the photos on Clark's blog here - http://clarklaraphotography.com/blog/2011/04/kelly-jay-day-after/

Crawfish Boil

This weekend Jay and I hosted our first Crawfish Boil and it was a great success. We were blessed with amazing weather, wonderful family and friends and awesome bugs. This was our first time so we relied on our wonderful friends who are crawfish boil pro's. Danny and Tim were a huge help! Here are a few photos...

Pure joy!

We look forward to having our 2nd boil next year!
