Baby Shower

I'm absent from blogger for a few days and people have been wondering if I'm okay, well I'm still here and just had a busy weekend. DS was playing in the Tasmanian Southern Schools Basketball Championships and I also had to co-host a baby shower for a dear friend.

The basketball was great, his team made it to the second round before being knocked out but they put in alot of effort and had lots of fun.
My friend and I have been planning this baby shower for weeks, we had lots of food...
lots of games and gifts from friends....Everone wore these little name tags I made

and received a little gift at the end, a cute cup and saucer filled with Lindt Chocolates!

This was the gift I made my friendIt's from a Homespun Magazine, if anyone wants to know which issue, email me and I'll get the details for you

I filled it with some goodies and she loved it! I'd worked on this from the day she first told me they were trying to conceive and I knew it wouldn't take her long, I wonder what she'll have....a boy or girl? I know she'll make a wonderful mother!!

Ooh and look at the lovely gift she gave us for organising the baby shower, beautiful cream and soap from The Body Shop

So now my busy weekend is over, back to work tomorrow and I'm going to get on my bike and ride there. Wednesday last week was Ride To Work Day in Australia and I did that just, I used to ride to work all the time when I worked in the city, it was a great ride thatfollws the Derwent River, very picturesque. The ride I take now is only 10 minutes, not very scenic but good for me and good for the environment! Hopefully it doesn't rain!

Jo, You are a wonderful friend to put on a baby shower and a gorgeous bag as a gift. She will treasure it I'm sure. You had so much food.
The body shop is my favorite shop. What a lovely gift to receive and you deserve it.
Hope DS had a wonderful day with his basketball. My DD start her first game ever on Wednesday night and she cant wait.
Have a great week riding your bike. I use to ride my bike everywhere when I lived in town. Bit harder now but I miss it. Have a ride for me
