Recycling ideas for kid paties: Cute Baby Shower Idea (and some announcements)

On Sunday, I went to a baby shower for my precious cousin, Whitney. She is pregnant with her first child, a baby girl!

My Aunt Pat, (Mom’s youngest sister), hosted the shower at her home.

Like a goof-ball, I forgot to take my camera, but I did snap a few pictures of the decorations on my phone.

How cute is that tu-tu around the punch bowl?

My favorite little decoration was these adorable little baby booties my Aunt Pat made with styrofoam cups.

Aren’t they adorable?!

Of course, I had to have a tutorial!

We gathered around the kitchen counter as Aunt Pat showed us how she made them.

First, cut the top off of the styrofoam cup.

Then cut two slits in the cup about an inch apart…

Push the middle section between the two slits back…

Then fold the sides over the middle section…

Secure the pieces with a staple and glue a little pink or blue ribbon on top of the staple. Aunt Pat put some netting in the bootie to hold the candy mints. Too cute!!!

Thanks for the demonstration, Aunt Pat!

I just had to take a picture of these strawberries…you don’t even want to know how many of these I ate!

And I had to have one of these too. They were “melt in your mouth” good!

There were beautiful pink roses that greeted us when we walked in the front door..

I wanted to steal this bear! Shhhh…don’t tell anyone…

And look at one of the presents Whitney got…
