APRC Shower Ideas

As you can see, I took the time to work on my blog (though it doesn't look perfect), and I am still trying to figure out how to make the sides next to the aqua (right now they're white) a different color or design.

I took the time this morning to make mini-collages of the ideas/pictures I have stumbled upon while planning this shower. I even made them in small "categories".
I needed to get some of this out of the way since I will have to be showing them to a friend who is also planning this shower (it was actually her idea to host this shower) and we're meeting tomorrow so I need to e-mail them to her today.
By the way, with this theme and Easter coming, it's the perfect time of year to buy candy since most everything is in the shape of an egg. I am also going to look at Michaels to see if they have any inexpensive bird houses or nests.















I did NOT create this mini-collage. I think it's from HWTM.






The favors (nest with little eggs in it), I LOVE that idea! However, instead of each individuals name, I want the paper to say, "Thank You".

I have a few items already that I can use for decorating, a few I will hopefully buy cheap somewhere else. We're trying not to spend too much on the shower because we're wanting to use most of our money on items for the boutique. That's our whole goal... to get things for moms in need. There is a garage sale this Saturday that we will be at (a huge neighborhood garage sale) and every time I go they all have pretty great stuff. That's where I got a lot of Miles' stuff as far as clothes, toys and a few other things. I don't remember exactly what but I know that I ended up leaving with an entire SUV full of gently used baby items that I loved. This weekend I will be looking for myself, Miles, Dana, Emma (my neice that's on her way), Miles' birthday and then the 2 showers. Heck, maybe even wedding stuff... who knows!
I will post pictures of the things that I end up buying.

Well, I need to go send the e-mail and get some things together for the shower meeting on Sunday (Julias shower).
