Still Pregnant + Sophia’s 2nd Birthday Party Sneak Peek!

July 27, 2010

So i’m still pregnant! haha. 38 weeks and been told for the past few weeks it could be any day! Trying to stay busy through these contractions. the other day i went into the hospital because they were every 5 minutes for over an hour. but i guess they weren’t doing “enough”.. so.. false alarm. 
i’m ready to pop! baby sienna we want to meet you! come soon!
sophia: “i wanna give baby smoochies!”


I’ve been swamped with etsy orders lately! Feeling like a true mama-preneur! i’ve been doing everything from egg carton/jam jar labels… to water bottle labels for a “mustache bash”!! a lot of them have offered to send photos of how they use my graphics at their events and i can’t wait to share them!

Here’s a peek into what i’m creating for sophia’s 2nd birthday party… It’s a Sweet Shoppe/Bakery Theme. 
This is “her logo.” I’ll post more about the party planning in upcoming posts! soo many fun details! Right now i’m in the middle of collecting oversized boxes to build her bakery for the kids to play in! complete with a modern kitchen and play felt-food. ;) Oh and the favors are so funnn! but i’m going to zip it and share the details later. hehe. I’m definitely getting my nesting urge before labor! i need a project! ;)
here’s an image that’s been giving me inspiration on her party!
