Little Man Baby Shower

Sorry I have been a little slack with this blog, I have had alot going on with Ah-Tissue, but will try to get back to doing regular posts.

Now this was the baby shower I helped out with a little while back and since then my beautiful friends Mel & Blake welcomed their gorgeous baby boy into this world.

As they new they were going to have a little boy so I thought it would be fitting to have a "Little Man" themed baby shower.

So this is why my husband did up this D.I.Y printable set for it and we based the colours around what Mum to be had in mind which was the colours from some little outfits she had.

This range can be purchased here: Little Man Printable Set

Here are a few Images from the day.

Made use of a wall shelf

Made some little bow ties out of felt and wool for the guest to pin on.

Made these hanging bow ties out of tissue paper and crepe paper.

From the left over cupcake circle I scatted them on the tables

Instead of games as requested we had little stations. 1st station we had a pile of Nappies and markers for the guest to leave a funny message for the parents to be.

Of course there would have to be some Ah-Tissue poms.

2nd Station we had wish tags for the guest to write little wishes for the baby or parents to be.

I made some homemade yummy chocolate mustaches for a little thank you gift for the guests

Added little Mustache to some straw using a some hot glue.

These are the little outfits that the colour scheme was based around.

Covered lolly pop with matching fabric and used a piece of foam covered with tissue paper to stick the pops into.

The 3rd Station was a little photo booth.

Little hand held Chalkboards " Speech and Thought" can be found here.

Guest took home a little goodie bags filled with treats.

It was a very fun day for Mel and a great memory for her..

Here is Corbin (Corby) and his very proud parents.

DIY - Shopping List Frame

Following on from the post I did here..

This one is for your kitchen, it is perfect to write down once you run out of something before you need to do your shopping..

http://getyourdiyon.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/diy-shopping-list-frame.html

To make this I found a spare frame and printed out one of the below printable that my lovely husband has done for me.

If you have an old frame that doesn't have the glass anymore all you need to do is laminate the image and pop it in the frame as it will work the same way..

The only other items you will need is a whiteboard pen and a cloth to wipe off old thoughts.

"Learning new things from each other" Session - Paper fan craft.

On Saturday we had our first "learning new things from each other" Session that I told you about here.

Well it was so much fun and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves I needed a big drink of water afterwards from talking to much heheh.

This class was a group of 12 which was a nice class to teach.

It had been awhile since I took a class and last time it was in front of kids.. Looking forward to the next one which will be run by a friend which will be a Household Organisation session.

Here are a few photo's from the session..

Fun Fun Fun..

DIY - Can't Sleep Thoughts Frame

Does anyone have trouble falling asleep because you have too many thoughts going around in your head?

Well I do, and also have wake ups in the middle of the night. Then can't get back to sleep because I am thinking about things that need to be done the next day.

I wanted to make myself one of these frames so I can right them down and be able to remember them in the morning..

To make this I found a spare frame and printed out one of the below printables that my lovely husband has done for me.

If you have an old frame that doesn't have the glass anymore all you need to do is laminate the image and pop it in the frame as it will work the same way..
