Welcoming Miss Cali...

As your host, I would like to extend to you a warm "Welcome" to Heather's Online Baby Shower!

(hopscotch & hydrangeas)

As Jo, pointed out in her post, do take a moment to go by and read "Heather's Letter to dear, unborn Calista"....it will bless your heart! :)

Pearl is spreading pink cheer with confetti,

as Heidi ushers everyone in, to celebrate a brand new precious life....

Miss Calista Kay

I encourage you to visit each participant and see their beautiful contributions!

We can't start the shower without something special for the "Mother-to-be"....

Nikki could you do the honors, and crown our Queen Bee!

(Doesn't Mrs. Nikki look pretty, in her hydrangea dress, ...perfect for the occasion!)

And how about a cute little Corsage...

Debbie, Would you please pin this on Heather?

We can't forget the Big Sister, Bella & the Big Brother, Kyle...

What is a party with out decorations? ....Beautiful Roses for the Food Table....

Polka Dot Arrangements for the guest tables...

Brenda, these look like they came out of your beautiful garden!
Precious "Diaper Cake" for the Gift Table...

Please help yourself to our tasty "pink" refreshments...

Sheila, Could you be a sweetie, and cut the cake??? :)



Big Brother, Kyle & Big Sister, Bella deserve their very own pretty little cake...

Ohhhh, "Dot, and I are squealing with delight!!!"

...A tower of chocolate cupcakes!

"Pink" Strawberry Souffle, with slivers of berries that look like sweet bunny ears...

Don't forget to try one of Diane's delicious sandwiches!

Or a lovely lemon custard...

Time to open the Presents....

Marie and Jo, could you pass around the gifts?

Cindy, have you got the camera ready for pictures? :)

These made me think of LeAnn, Cute little Cowgirl socks.. Sweet little Memory Box (Girls, I secretly think we could make one of these? "smiles")

Every little girl is a princess...

"Little girls dance their way into your heart, whirling on the tips of angel wings, scattering gold dust and kisses in our paths." Author unknown

Lucky for Cali she has a Big Sister, to teach her how to be a Princess!

Bella needs her very own princess attire, of course...

Pink Piggy for College Savings...

And since this a "Virtual Shower," and I have "virtual money" to spend that has no limits, I suppose....

I found this beautiful furniture dressed in Heather's favorite, toile bedding...

(I'll even throw in the fabulous chandelier...)

Shower favors for each guest?

Putting together this Baby Shower, for my very dear friend, Heather, has been so much fun!

...I'm so glad you could all join in the festivities,

and a heart~felt "Thanks," to each you who participated!

Dear little one, Calista, It is my prayer that God may richly bless you, and keep you always in his tender loving care! ~hugs, Rhonda
