Remember the cool Fiskars paper punch that I showed you?
Well, I'm not sure if they are on sale at your Michael's but the ad that was just emailed to me this week for my area says that all punches are 40% OFF!!! So you can use your coupon for something else :)
Thank you all so much for your sweet comments about me posting so much about the shower. I always just share on the blog what I'm up to in my life and love doing it ~
I still have to gather all of the ingredients of what I'm making for the food. I'm making my sour cream/buttermilk poundcake batter and using it for the cupcakes! I hope that they turn out good. You can find the recipe on my blog HERE if you'd like to give it a try, it. is. DIVINE!
Homemade spinach dip with crackers, fresh strawberries with cream cheese/marshmallow creme dip, mixed nuts and a vegetable tray with ranch dip. I love buying the classic ranch packet and making the dip recipe! Oh and I'm going to make Fruit Tea which is amazing tasting but thought I might buy the Red Zinger Celestial Seasonings brand to make the sweet tea base so it would be pink!!!
To make the fruit tea you use two family sized tea bags (I'll use about 7 of the reg. size) steeped in 2 cups of water in the microwave for 4 min., add one cup of sugar and water to fill a one gallon container. Then take the one gallon of sweet tea and add 1 big can unsweetened pineapple juice, 1 can of frozen orange juice concentrate, 1 can of frozen lemonade concentrate and half of a two liter of ginger ale ~ it's delicious!!
Wishing you all a wonderful Monday sweet friends!!
xxoo, Dawn

Dawn, it sounds like you have all the details ready for the shower...the tea sounds wonderful...and red zinger will make the color pretty too, i love that tea...
My daugther-in-law, with the 7 children, makes this regularly. She used to serve it to the children almost every meal until she had about 5 kids. Now she conserves a bit. She leaves out the ginger ale for table use but I'll have to tell her about the ginger ale to fancy it up. She's a Southern girl, too--Tennessee.
Love the pink!--Sally
You did a wonderful job of turning those little socks into flowers. I'm learning so much here.
Everything that you are doing for the baby shower looks so beautiful, I am sure it is going to be the most amazing day. The fruit tea sounds fantastic, I will have to try it, just have to find a similar tea here in the Uk.
