(fyi....this post was originally titled "How to give a cookie lady a heart attack")
(part one...)
My niece
Katie recently co-hosted a baby shower for one of her best girlfriends.
They knew the Mommy-to-Be was having a boy and loves sports so the
party theme was really easy to choose.
Katie said the parents love the Michael Jordan logo,
so I did my best to incorporate that without making it too obvious.
I used a projector and a teeny-tiny little liner brush
to paint the logo on using black food coloring mixed with a little clear alcohol.
Of course, it's not a shower without party favors...
I love those pretzel bags for tying up mini cookies!
A few days before I needed to ship these,
I gave Katie a call to get a final head count for the favors and hear how the planning was going.
This is when things got a bit......interesting.
"Hi Katie! How are you??"
"Hi Aunt Elizabeth, I'm good! Just busy with work and the party planning."
"Well, I won't keep you...I'm just calling to double check the head count and confirm the details...."
(then there was a lot of back and forth....45 people...baby's name is Elijah....Mom is Robbie...etc.)
"I just saw the balloons my friend ordered for the party.
They're really cute and match the plates and napkins..."
"How fun! Are they giant sports balls or did she find a Michael Jordan balloon?"
"No....they're like a jungle safari type print....."
**silence**
"They're...so it's...wait...what about...um...WHAT!!!!"
