I love cute wrappings to put around anything. So I ordered boxes to put treats in, twine, stickers off of etsy customized with words I like, and it all came in handy.
A sweet couple in our ward just adopted a little girl, their first child, and a friend and I were so excited to throw a baby shower. It’s a dear experience that my family has been able to experience, so it was close to my heart.
So, with kids playing at a park, Carolyn and I planned for a short time what we hoped would come to be a cute display of treats, with only a few days for the execution of our ideas.
Boxes…
Cute and easy for taking to people you visit teach! That’s why I originally found these boxes to give to people here and there, in a cute way!

Getting ready for the baby shower...
Nadia waiting patiently for the cupcakes to finish baking, so she could have one for being dry through the night!
The fluffy cream cheese frosting turned out delectably! It’s the first time I’ve tried this recipe, and will never use another cream cheese frosting recipe again!
The pic’s of the family and cut-outs from the cricut and the first year cartridge…
oh, the vintage ferris wheel that I love…what a lucky find it was!
the beautiful flowers Carolyn found, and the fancy chocolate dipped pretzels was also her creation!
the yummy dark chocolate moose munch I love to make and eat…only special occasions!
the beautiful banner Carolyn made…it reads Welcome Annalise
All our work put together, looks lovely enough to eat! Which we did!
I tried a new Red Velvet Cupcake Recipe, with a delicious new recipe for Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. What I didn’t tell a soul was, I made the cupcakes gluten-free. I was able to take pic’s of the family to string along the wall with cut-outs from my cricut, and even though it was simple, I think it turned out endearing. I found a cute vintage ferris-wheel at the pottery barn outlets, and couldn’t resist throwing it in there, with cupcakes taking the seat! Some yummy chocolate mustaches were another vintage touch I couldn’t resist. It’s so exciting just getting ideas out of your head and into the world, seeing them come to fruition.
