Yesterday my sister, my mother, and several friends threw me a beautiful baby shower. There were so many sweet details to look at and enjoy. I was very blessed to be surrounded by many of my family members and dear friends. It was truly overwhelming to be showered with such love and generosity.

I have to thank my friend Stacey for taking these beautiful photos!

  9. Beautiful pictures!
    One of your gifts was in a kitty box of sorts. Was this a home made or pre assembled box. If it is something someone made can you post a close up pic? I would love to steal the idea.

  10. fuzz, it is a store bought fabric storage box. I think it's the kind of thing you could easily find at Target, Walmart, or Homegoods. :)
