My Week In Pictures April 21st - 27th

Monday 21st April 

The countdown continues! I had a day off today and tried to get my things together. I took tags off of all my new items of clothing and tried to pack! 

Tuesday 22nd April 

I worked a 8 hour shift today and it involved lots of Chocolate!! 

Lots of Galaxy Chocolate. 

Wednesday 23rd April 

I've received a lot of weird messages this week, but this one here from Larry was by far the most interesting. Its safe to say that I blocked him straight after reading this. 

I don't understand how these people find me!? 

Thursday 24th April 

It's official guys! One week exactly today! 

This holiday is over due and I can not wait to be sat up on that beach with a cocktail in one hand as my troubles float away. This also means I won't be posting much but I will pre-post something for you whilst I'm away.  I'm hoping to blog whilst I'm away too! 

Friday 25th April

It's my Best Friend Amy's Birthday today! She's not been in my life for a long time but since the first day I met her she's been there for me. Supported me, never judged me and given me the biggest choice of my life. As some of you know she's asked me to be her Birthing Partner to her little bundle of joy - who's due in June and I can not wait! I hope she has a lovely day because she deserves it. 

Saturday 26th April 

Spent the evening with this girl. We laughed a little too much and had a proper catch up session. Sarah is great  - I'm going to miss her when I leave work. 

Sunday 27th April 

I'm packed!! I can't promise I won't unpack and pack again, but I'm packed and ready! I think I've over packed to be honest with you, and I most probably will unpack and re-pack a few times before I leave but this has lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. 

Bring on Tenerife!! 

Baby Shower Excitement

Hello my beauties! 

As some of you who follow me on Twitter may already know that I've been planning a Baby Shower for my best friend Amy, who asked me to be her Birthing Partner. I'm super stoked and literally can not wait to receive that all important phone call! 

Meet my gorgeous little God Daughter 

... Kay Betsy Hall .... 

I offered to organise her Baby Shower, at first I didn't think much of it but me being me, and leaving everything until last minute I've regretted it this week! Although I've had a week off work so it should have been easy - you'd think so anyway! 

 

Everything is finally in place. 

The house is decorated, the cake is ready to collect tomorrow (today if you have been to sleep already) the games are organised, I have even gone to the effort of making gift / survivial bags for all the guests!! 

Yes, you can call me a professional!! 

I ordered these basic bags online and have filled them with little sentimental gifts, some games that will be used during the night, massive novelty tea bags, coffee sachets  condoms and all sorts!! They're supposed to be a gift bag come survival bag. I'm really proud of them to be honest!! 

Also inside the gift bags are baby bottles personalised with sweets inside for all the guests. I found this idea online when typing in Baby Shower Gift Ideas ... I recreated the idea and I'm so chuffed with the outcome!! 

 Another cute idea I come across whilst surfing the web were these tea lights with cute little messages. The original ones were bigger candles and had personalised stickers around the glass outing but I figured it would be easier to recreate them this way. I then googled ideas for the messages and printed them off. I purchased the cute little pink and purple bags from Ebay. 

All thats left to do is collect the cake and go food shopping tomorrow, then cook the food and add the finishing touches to the house!! We have around 15 guests coming, and I'm hosting it at my house, which is going to be .... fun!! 

Although none of this would have been possible without my Mums creative head and ability to step in and lend a helping hand!! 

Here's some sneaky pictures of the decorations ... 

And of course no Baby Shower is complete without lots of cute gifts for the Mother to be and Baby! 

The following picture is the hamper I made her and Bouncer I brought the baby. The gift bags will be moved tomorrow to another table and this table will be used to store all the gifts until the Baby Shower finishes. 

Keep posted for a complete update over the weekend, lets hope its a success. Keep them fingers crossed for me!! 

How are you all today?
