Baby Shower:

I thought it would be fun to stick to this baby theme. I designed this printer friendly Baby Shower Game. It's unisex, so it can be used for either a boy or a girl shower. This was actually a game that was played at my bridal shower, but I redesigned it for a baby. Download the free printable here. It will fit to any standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.

Recipe:

If you feel inspired to do a Mother's Day project similar to mine, I've designed a generic recipe card for your use. You can do something similar to what I'm working on, or if you are giving someone a kitchen/baking related gift, this is a nice way to get them started. The recipe card is available for download!

Work in Progress II:

My little project in progress has been compromised. I can't seem to find mini loaf molds anywhere in Miami. How is that possible? I guess that makes it that more of a challenge? I decided to design some favor tags to match my recipe card.  I'll add pictures later once everything is put together, if I ever find the molds! Here is a sample of what they look like. You can download them here if you'd like to use them in your own Mother's Day project!

Old Recipe:

So after much soul searching, I think I figured out an idea for my Mother's Day gifts. When I was younger, my parents would take my sister and I to visit my Dad's aunt and uncle who lived in Sunny Isles, Florida. His aunt was a very elegant lady who always dressed to the nines. On every visit she would bake her Orange Date Coffee Cake because she knew I loved it, and on one of those visits she gave me the recipe. Sadly, shortly after that she died in a plane crash. I'm not much of a cook, but I'm going to attempt to make mini cakes for all the moms and share her recipe with this recipe card I designed.

Orangy Mine:

About a month ago Beegee Bags had a contest on their Facebook fan page. Get fifteen of your friends to become fans, and you get a bag of your choice, an $80 bag, for FREE! Needless to say, I recruited all of my closest girlfriends and nearly begged them to hurry up and become fans before Beegee's deadline. I had originally found Beegee bags on a wedding blog, and immediately fell in love with their unique little gems. Of course at that moment and time I didn't exactly have a need for an $80 clutch, so I had to admire from afar. Now I can admire it from up close! My own little gem arrived in the mail yesterday.
