She's Just About to Pop! Girls Baby shower

Cars, trains, dinosaurs, firemen, around my house it is all boy, as far as the eye can see. Not a trace of anything girl. I love it all but there's something about little girls that is irresistable!

So when one of my best friends found out she was having a girl I can't tell you how excited I was. Off to my computer to look up ideas for anything and everything girl. Looking up baby shower ideas I saw the theme "She's Just About to POP!" and that was it. I had to do it. So I did it with a little bit of a girl spin, taking my inspiration from a piece of scrapbook paper.

When people entered we had them write a self address envelope (for mommy to send thank yous)
Super easy to make pom poms. Thank you Martha!
Easy banner (I was going to cut out the letters but my cricut wasn't working so I had to go old school with a marker)
All the food was labeled with emphasis on the word "POP" like otter POPs, soda POP, Jalepeno POPers, POPpy seed muffins, POP corn.....

Also not pictured, I had a ton of different sized dots in the colors spread out on the table, entrance... it was an extremely simple (and cheap) way to decorate.
I made poppy seed muffins and while I was making them I happened to have my food dyes out and decided to make them...PINK! Also frosted baby to be's initials. Super easy with a little help from a ziplock bag.
As thank you gifts we had a Candy Bar (that's a bar with candy) with a lolly pop tree I made.
That everyone put in these take out boxes!

It was a lot of work, but totally worth it!
