I have been planning my biggest event to date for the last couple of months.  Nate’s baby girl is coming and I was in charge of the shower.  The theme: vintage baseball.  Right up my alley!  I was ecstatic, but stressed.  I planned and planned.  Nicki and I prepared and created.  I went to Emily for help and advice.  And I prayed for no rain during our rainiest summer in quite awhile.  And the party was to take place at our new house that we haven’t moved to yet.

Finally, the day arrived.  No rain!  Extremely hot, but no rain!  So we set things up and it turned out perfectly.  Dale and Cheri were the absolute best hosts and worked so hard to help me pull it off.

We were given the baby’s initials and told that Nate and Kimberly would announce the name at the shower.  So I got this great idea to recreate Wrigley’s scoreboard and have the shower attendees write their guesses of the name on the board.  Shannon worked so hard and did all the work himself creating the chalkboard scoreboard with no template.  It was straight from my head.  (You rock, Shannon Paul!)  It turned out beautifully! Thank you, Emily for your wonderful work on the lettering!!

If you like this wonderful creation, ask me about Lisa and her work! She rocked it with a vegan cake!
