{getting ready}

our {lou} bee within the STLMQG has been meeting for almost 2 years, and besides the amazing talent and creations we get to be a part of with each other, we have gotten to support each other in the ups and downs of life. the sweet ladies surprised me with a handmade-lovin' baby shower for baby #3(due any day). here are the goodies.

 a sweet minky blanket from cara. i am in love with that bird fabric!

a growth chart from lynne. this has been on my list-to-do for almost a year. i'm glad i got beat to it. the boys already love seeing their heights on it.

 a couple pair of quick change trousers from AMH's book, handmade beginnings, and made by mary claire.

 a sweet little bag for miscellaneous items, 2 diaper covers and booty cream from jessica.

 a sweet quilt made by kristy. my other boys have each claimed it as theirs.

a flannel swaddle and minky taggie from jamie & jared.
i am a blessed girl and just love LOVE all of the time and thoughtfulness put into each of these. thanks ladies. this was just the motivation needed to get my nesting in high gear! {more on that later}
