GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY! GIVEAWAY!

What better way to celebrate the impending arrival of our little bundle of joy with not one- not two- but THREE giveaways!

I was starting to feel guilty about abandoning you all for a bit while we head off for the hospital tomorrow, but now I just feel jealous that I can't win the giveaway myself. I just ordered these monkey invites for my son's 2nd birthday and officially now have the paper bug...I want more, more, more! Lucky for you, you CAN have more (and for free)!

Here are the rules:
-You can enter each giveaway only once.
-Enter a comment in the 'comments' section to qualify (please do *not* email me!)
-Make sure there is a way to contact you (either through reading the blog or leaving your email with your comment/ID)

I will announce the winner when I return to the blog world...hopefullythat is around a week... definitely no sooner then November 5th and no later then November 10th!.

GOOD LUCK!

gender reveal party

Brooke always makes sure that I see the latest and greatest in party ideas, and this 'gender party reveal' is no exception! I love the idea of having friends and family over to break the news. Such a great way to celebrate the impending arrival!

A couple of ideas to steal...guests were asked to dress in pink or blue to indicate their guess...a colored gumball hidden inside the cupcakes denoted the gender (everyone bit into their cupcakes at the same time). What fun!

j'adore...

Who can resist these super sweet ideas from Parisian Amelie? Reading her blog - or at least, attempting to - definitely puts my high school French to the test, but no translation is needed for many of these great DIY ideas (including the pattern adorned paper plates). Much more loveliness to check out here and here.
