Allison's Baby Shower

Remember last month when I disappeared from the blog for 2 weeks because I couldn't stop crafting? Well, it was for a baby shower that my mom and I hosted in Atlanta last weekend! Our long-time family friends, Andrew and Allison McCleskey, are having their first baby, and we had such a great time showering them with love and gifts for baby Fisher! Plus, I had an excuse to visit Michael's just about everyday, so it was a win-win :)



For the food, I made the cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, and fruit dip. We bought the fruit (obviously), chicken salad and croissants, and pasta salad. Yum.











I'm now OBSESSED with these straws! The bottles were my favorite thing at the shower- and I love that we can use them for any event and just change out the ribbon and design!















My mom and her longtime BFF, Janis






The soon-to-be momma and grandmas!


I think this picture is SO precious!


I think I'll do another post about the shower showing how I made everything, so if you have any questions, leave them in the comments! I bought the straws, but made pretty much everything else!
