Getting Ready for the Baby Sprinkle

Lately, most of my creative time has been spent preparing for the "Baby Sprinkle" that I am hosting for my sister-in-law and niece to-be. I am literally doing a "sprinkle" theme, as in dessert sprinkles. I found lots of great inspiration on Pinterest. I am finding cute ways to incorporate rainy sprinkles into the theme. I found a cute invitation on Etsy, which I purchased for like $10. The seller emailed me the file, and I downloaded it and had them printed as photos at Walgreens.

I am now working on decorations for the party. I'm making a hanging cloud with paper sprinkles. I punched various colors with a small balloon punch. Then I trimmed the tips off to make them look more like raindrops. This was very time consuming. Now I am in the process of gluing them onto skinny silver string and tying them onto an embroidery hoop. When done, I will top it off with a cloud of pillow fill.

The other sprinkle project I am working on is tags for the favors. I had a hard time finding clip art, but finally found some on mygrafico.com. I am working on designing them, but am not quite happy with them yet.

I need to get cracking! I only have two weeks left!!
