Since (E) is only 3 months old (tomorrow) I am up a lot of late nights. I spend a lot of this time surfing the web and checking out Pinterest. Most recently I have been checking out baptism/christening stuff as hers is rapidly approaching. Ever the psycho about event planning I was looking or a theme. I stumbled upon the “Faith is a tiny seed planted deep within the soul” quote at 3 am.  PERFECT!

As a family we spend a lot of time gardening and landscaping. It’s a favorite past time of (A)’s and mine. In fact when we designed her half of their bedroom we did a flower theme and incorporated the types of flowers that we grow in our yard. Off to the races.

The next day I ran right to AC Moore for ideas, I found galvanized watering cans that were absolutely adorable.  I decided to take a look at the silk flowers since they are easy to work with and could be a “take home” for guests.  I found hydrangeas that are this great shade of autumn pink with a bit of purple at the tips.  SCORE!!  We grow hydrangeas at the house and adore them.  Add some accent flowers (it took me a while to do this) a transparent gold ribbon length, a mini chalkboard and a stencil.  I ended up with a little creation that I like very much and is simple, sweet, and not too expensive.

Suggestion to keep it cost effective is to bring with you the 50% coupon they have pretty much all the time. You can find it and print right from their website.  Also, they offer a teacher discount so that’s a plus.
