Baby Shower Stuff & A Giveaway

You are probably sick of reading about last week's baby shower. But I wanted to share one more thing. I remember when I was researching ideas online and in the planning stages for the shower, I welcomed any suggestions to add to my repertoire.

So this is what I wanted to show you. I am always looking for centerpieces for my dining room table. I get bored easily and like to change things around. So when I was sorting through the baby shower decorations today (finally feeling well enough to do it after being sick all week) I thought I would make a centerpiece for the dining room table while waiting for the little guy to arrive.



I put so much time and love into making these things, I had to enjoy them some more. All of the little treasures are so cute.




I washed and Dan ironed (yes, I've got him trained right! lol) the only outfit we have from Danny's infancy and hung it on the chandelier. I know I am crazy - it's ok.




Here are the little tickets on which our guests wrote their answers for the Guess How Many Baby Bottle Game. My mother won (a pair of Crate & Barrel Valentine dish towels). 


Would you like to try and guess how many items are in the bottle? I have a prize for a winner, a little Anthropologie inspired wreath! I was waiting for the right time to give you a chance to guess how many items there are and now seems to be the right time. Just leave a comment with your answer and the winner will be notified on February 25th. Please make sure I can get ahold of you via email. If you want to look more closely at the bottle, you can look here. And below is a picture of the winner's wreath - I made several at once and have one left just for you!


Thank you for reading all of my baby shower articles and celebrating with me. When he arrives in April, I imagine you will inundated with more posts about the little guy LOL.

February 25th. There were 98 pieces in the baby bottle. Barbara F of Two birdies and a B. is the winner of the Anthro inspired wreath. She has been notified. Thank you all for taking the time to guess how many.
