oh boy oh boy...

so i've always been told,

"you're just not very creative."

well, i'm here to tell you,

i've changed all that.

but more importantly, i've just figured out how to find my creative juices.

here's how.

my roommate was throwing a baby shower for a college friend of hers last saturday. i came home from work to find pom pom balls, homemade mind you, and craft stuff everywhere.

so, i, doing what i do best when crafts come out, i sit back and watch it all be done. i can't cut, i can't fold, i can't make anything. (ie we tried to make friendship bracelets, well needless to say, mine didn't turn out. everyone else's did.)

so i just watched.

then once all the pom poms were made, and fluffed, it was time to hang. well, i'm happy to say and report, i've found my niche. i may not be able to make the crafts, but i know how to hang them and know where they go...(i'm very proud of myself!)

examples...

i hung those suckers for at least two hours. then, the one thing i can make is paper chains.

i made the paper chains like you wouldn't even believe. we then strung them up in the pom pom collage.

the rest is history....

okay not history, but here is the finished product with food and everything.

it's pretty dang cute, if i do say so myself.

these last two are edited....

i love the balloons. they were hanging in the entrance.

anyway, the baby shower turned out darling. everything was a smash hit!

also, to add a little pizazz, L rented a photobooth. quite clever, and convenient, since our friend wayne has a homemade one...

(a few shots from the photobooth)

that's wayne in the last few...

so L and C are both dating boys. and they thought it would fun to get in the photobooth and hold up the whiteboards with a message written to each of their bfs.

well, there were only two whiteboards, so we had to change each whiteboard after the picture had been taken.

so we quickly take their pictures and change out the whiteboards with no problem.

so i, having no boyfriend, decide that i'd like to take a picture the same way, but with different words, obviously.

as i get in the photobooth with my props, i can hear them plotting out something.

so i get in there and take the first three pictures, and while they were changing my

"i need a boyfriend" to something else, the last whiteboard didn't make it in time, so i improvised. (it's hilarious!)
