Owl Baby Shower Invitations

A couple of months ago, the BHO mentioned that she might be in the market for some baby shower invitations for her sister in law, who is having a baby girl in November. I started thinking about a way we could make something really cute and unique, and I remembered the bat card:

And since bats aren't overly baby friendly, I decided to take the wings idea and do another design. And what do all babies love that have wings?

Dragons.

Just kidding. Owls. The answer is owls. So I designed this little gal, complete with wings:

Feel free to ignore my very neglected nail polish. I have since given up on painting my nails since I am unusually hard on my hands, apparently. From what I can tell, I think people liked it pretty well! So. The moral of the story is that if you like babies, owls or dragons... I'm your girl. And that the BHO is an awesome supporter of B is for Brown (actually, all of the artist family seriously are), which I very much appreciate.

Rats. Now I want to make a dragon baby shower invitation. Anyone out there having a dragon themed baby shower?

Digital Party Time: Beach Party

As you may recall from this post, I have a bit of a penchant for party planning. The real issue with this little personality trait of mine is that I have neither the cause nor the funds to perpetually throw parties of all kinds. To alleviate the pressure on my pocketbook, I have taken to throwing online shindigs that save me bundles (and also save me the embarrassment of no one showing up). Thank you SO much for accidentally attending my little digital party. Do stay and look around, the lemonade is particularly good today!

I'm sending these as invitations:

We'll be drinking this:
Blue Hawaiian Lemonade 

And munching on this:
Sand Dollar Cookies
Fruity Trees
Watermelon
Cupcakes
Clam Cookies 

With a little decoration thrown in to make it legit:
Ribbon Chandeliers 
Streamers

The Overly Ambitious Event Planner

Do you guys ever get completely sucked into the idea of throwing a severely over the top party? Usually this happens to me while I'm browsing Pinterest (or while I am doing invitation designs)- I come across gorgeous food ideas and thrifty decor options and I am suddenly overcome with the party throwing itch.

Seeing as I have a lack of cause to be throwing an over the top shindig (and lack the self confidence... I'm always afraid people will judge my bubbly and overly excited spirit)- I thought I would throw a little online bash for all of you delightful folk.

You are cordially invited to my Salute to Spring:

I will be serving:

Coconut square 
Watermelon Bites
Hummus Bites
Cheesecakes
Glitter Cookies
Taco Bites

And decorating with:

Flowers
Bird Sign
Clock
Teacup Lights


Don't worry about RSVPing... I think you just inadvertently attended. I tell you... this is the way to party!
