Yesterday, Stepan and I went to a baby shower for our good friends, Archie & Jessica. Everybody had a great time and our contributions of Stepan-made foccacia bread, Jfer-made brownies (2 varieties), and fruit punch were well appreciated. However, our best contribution to the event was an advise scrapbook I put together for the expectant parents. I took polaroid pictures of all the guests as they arrived and instructed them to take a sheet of paper (provided in green or yellow) and write anything they wished for the shower scrapbook. It could have been well-wishes, or parenting advice, or just a simple drawing. Towards the end of the shower, I took my glue stick and the left-over colored paper and pasted each polaroid next to that persons words of wisdom into a very nice scrapbook I picked up at the Paper Place.
Kudos to my cousin Debbie first coming up with this idea at our Grandmother's 80th birthday party.
