"I don't want Garbage, I want Sprinkles."
Nancy bought me this shirt for my birthday, along with many other super fun gifts - including a fun new pink and black Adidas bag and a renewed subscription to EW. Love it! But this shirt, this shirt is the ultimate! If you don't watch The Office you won't get it. And if you do, then you will appreciate the greatness of the shirt. Nance, thanks for being my friend for 15 years, even when I brushed hair on your desk in geometry. Love you! :)

Showering Sommer
I just finished putting together the second of two bridal showers for my sister-in-law Sommer. It was a lot of work, but it was a ton of fun coming up with ideas AND it allowed me to rediscover my crafty side!
I was particularly proud of the favors. Sommer is one of the cutest girls you will ever meet and some of her favorite things are pink and sparkly (or maybe those are my favorite things and I just projected those "likes" onto her!) One of my pet peeves about favors is that they usually cost a lot of money and aren't very useful. How many of you have taken home a favor and forgotten about it, or worse yet, taken it home and thrown it away. I figured if I was going to spend money on something it should either be fun and useful or, at the very least, edible. I opted for fun - bordering on useful. Since this shower was for a lot of teenage and twenty-something young women, I had license to be creative and fun in a *young* way. I hit up the dollar section at Target and picked up 35 tubes of lip gloss in both a sparkly clear color and pink. I decorated each bottle with polka dot ribbon and created mailing labels that read "Som Gloss" to personalize each tube. The result, a fun, personalized shower favor that everyone (I think) was excited to put in their purse and take home with them.
Regardless of their usefulness, I thought they were fun and I was pretty proud of them! And, I must add, when planning a pink and brown baby/wedding shower, one can never use too much skinny or wide brown polka dot ribbon. Altogether I have probably burned through about 20 rolls of the stuff. I even had one bridesmaid dreaming about it! I'm a total maid-zilla!
All of Sommer's bridesmaids were extremely helpful in the execution of the shower! We couldn't have pulled it together without their help! And thank goodness they are all so photogenic!
