For Ellie

We had a babyshower for my big sister yesterday ... I can't believe that Amanda is finally gonna be a mama (took her long enough ... j/k)

We are all extremely excited because 1) babies are cool and 2) this is the first girl born into my family since my little sister ... thirteen years ago. Of course, me being the girly girl that I am I had to completely pink out anything that I was responsible for ... including my dress and look for the shower. So here you go ... my dear niece Ellie, this is for you dear!

Enjoy!

And this was my present to the new mommy ... a handmade diaper cake made by me! I will have you know that this thing caused me so much stress that I had to have a cocktail at noon on a Saturday to relieve my frustrations!
