This weekend I helped throw a baby shower for my dear friend Julia. It was a circus themed shower using her nursery room colors: red and light blue. The party was held at the church where Julia is a children's pastor. Aren't the decorations cool? (Thanks to my co-hosts Shannon and Amanda). They were inspired by some of the links above.
Amanda made these cute little circus tags for all the food with circus stickers.
Strawberry, Nutella, and Vanilla cupcakes with animals on top.
These are so easy and yummy to make: cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, and a little balsamic vinaigrette on top right before the party.
The pretty pregnant lady: Julia Goolia!
Our craft activity was to have everyone make a quilt square for a crib quilt. I cut flannel into 8x8 inch squares and the ladies traced stencils and die-cuts into shapes on fleece. Then they pinned them to their quilt square.
A few finished squares. I'll post the finished quilt when it is done.
Guacamole, Artichoke dip, Italian Skewers
Fruit salad, cupcakes, cookies, lemon blueberry trifle
To make the Lemon Blueberry Trifle:For the lemon mixture: Mix two 3.4 oz boxes lemon Jello pudding powder with 2 1/2 cups milk and three 6 oz. containers lemon yogurt
Layer 1 inch cubes of angel food cake, then lemon mixture, then blueberries. Repeat two more times. Top with Cool Whip and blueberries.
Tissue paper flowers
The guests filled out wish cards for the baby.
I just love this silly lady and can't wait to meet her baby!
