{above Scott's Birthday Card- Happy Birthday, February 18th}

This weekend I had one goal in mind. Make family February Birthday cards for: Stephanie, Scott, Adriana, Aly & Susan (from work). Luckily I have no Birthday's in January so I can use this month to get started for the year. I was successful in making 7 cards! I know I mentioned only 5 people above but I also got an anniversary card made for Ryan & Sarah and a Valentine's day card for my lovebug. I can only show two of the cards as not to ruin the surprise for those who would look at my blog. I had so much fun spending all of Saturday coming up with the layouts and design for those special people in my life. I sure do love doing this!

David's company, California Closets finally held there Holiday Work Party. We've been to two parties before this one, and I have to say they have certainly stepped it up. Although last year, Casino Night was very fun. This year they held it at a pretty posh bowling alley called Lucky Strike. I think the other one is in LA. So it caters to the rich and famous. Well for that night we felt famous. David's company rented out a private room. Which I swear was the size of a bowling alley found in a small town. The area had four lanes to bowl on, which lead to a huge theatre screen which played music videos on. It had an open bar, which I would have totally taken advantage of if I drank. But believe me I had 3 glasses of Diet Coke. They had all the bowling, food, and video games you could handle for 3 hours. David found out that this was close to $5G's to rent out. I certainly had a blast. Lots more fun than my Holiday work parties, that's for darn sure.

Dave was in Heaven bowling. He bowled a 150. And said that he wanted to start bowling more. I wouldn't mind.

I have to say watching the music videos was my favorite part. I kept dreaming about how great it would be if I could stand up and karaoke to it and maybe bust out my Michael Jackson moves when his "They Way You Make Me Feel" and "Beat it" songs came on!

Us on the fancy white leather sofas. Just having a wonderful evening.

{below Welcome sign for Kara's Baby Shower}I hosted a baby shower for my friend Kara last weekend. I had a great turn out that night, about 16 girls showed up. They ate my cookies, scotocharoos, banana bars, brownies, and lemon cake. They talked, played games, helped with making a family photo book for Kara's baby. Kara had lots of gifts. I made her this sign and a banner to take home for the baby's nursery.

I loved the tissue balls in the background, my friend Gina made them. I guess Martha Stewarts website can tell me how to make them. I can't wait for that occasion.

Having lots of fun making the family photo book. Turns out an activity is lots more fun than a game. I'll have to remember that for next time...

The best group shot we could get. Minus a couple people. I'm surprised how well my apartment could accommodate this group. I guess it was comfortable enough that they all stayed at least 2 1/2 hours.

The best part about this evening, other then hosting a party, is that David had a man-date with the Father-To-Be, Jake. They went to The Dilemma. Which from what I understand was a fantastic movie. Can't wait to watch it myself. I'm a little bit of a movie fanatic.
