Busy Weekend


I had a busy, fun weekend last weekend that kicked off on Thursday evening with a baby shower for a girl at work. Sandy is due with a baby girl in November, and we had a lot of fun putting together a shower for her and baby! The women I work with are so creative, and we LOVE our Pinterest projects :) Our theme was "She's on the Nest"


You should have seen us hanging these balloons from the ceiling -- quite entertaining! Also notice the "Welcome Baby" banner I made using Mom's friend Beverly's Cricut. We are really considering buying a Boss Kut Gazelle (anyone have one or has anyone used one, by the way?) so we can stop borrowing hers every time we need one! Merry Christmas to us? Possibly.


Karen made these adorable bird nest treats. Cute and VERY tasty! (And yes, those are Cadbury mini eggs; good thing I keep a stockpile around my house year round!)


 Tamara made those cute cupcake toppers to match the invites

 And these cute water bottle sleeves!




 And my pink tutu table made another appearance. It probably won't be the last time either -- the thing took SO. MUCH. TULLE.


Cute invites Sandy's friend made! We had a great time, and we are all so excited to meet baby girl!


I spent all of Friday shopping. I seriously have a problem. At least I can admit it. Then I headed to meet Kody in Fort Smith for a date night in our college town before he headed off to a bachelor party in Dallas. It was so fun/weird to be back together in the Fort. First stop? Blazen' Burrito, of course. We kept it classy. But seriously, we both miss Blazen' so much!


On Saturday, my mom and I went to watch the Arkansas vs. Rutgers game. Three letdown weekends in a row, but I still love my Hogs! WPS!

On Sunday, Mom and I headed to Nadine Baum studios in Fayetteville to see the production "Noises Off!" The studios are in conjunction with The Walton Arts Center and are directly across the street. For as many shows as I've seen at the WAC (my school took field trips there ALL the time and we continue to go today), I had never seen one in Theatre Squared. However, my brother and I both have our handprints hanging on the walls. Twenty years ago, my mom took us both to do this -- you pay five dollars for a tile, put your handprint/name/date on it, the money went to help support the WAC, and our handprints have been hanging along the walls of Nadine Baum Studios for years. Such a cool thing; thanks Mom for taking us, and thanks Anthony for getting me to put my hand in the paint :)




The theatre is very up close and personal, and y'all, the show was SO. FUNNY. I laughed so hard I cried and both of us had headaches when we left from laughing so hard. Mom has a movie that is based off the play, and I fully intend on watching it, but there's something about live theatre... it was a lot of fun! My only regret is that we didn't go see it sooner so that I could tell you to go see it (we saw it on the last day).


So that was my weekend. Extremely busy, but really fun. I hope everyone is having a good week!
