surprise bridal shower

My camera disgusts me.

I helped throw a baby shower this past week for a bride in my small group and have about 5 semi-good pictures to show for it. My camera officially hit the curb...kicked the can...fritzed out...

I'll be using my phone camera until Christmas when {fingers crossed} I get a new one :0)!!

A big hit at the shower were marshmallow pops I made as favors. They were so simple!

Three large marshmallows on a popsicle stick...

Covered in melted chocolate pieces. These were pink, but you can't tell with this high quality photo ;0) Mine didn't dip that great into the chocolate -- they really needed to be coated with the spatula. It worked out better, because I could smooth it out before dipping it into the white beady sprinkles!

A few hrs to chill and voila! They looked great wrapped up with a piece of matching ribbon. The one on the left was kind of a dud, most looked much better. I ate that one :0)

The shower was held in our church fellowship hall. It's a big space, but I think the decorations came out well.

Lots of delicious foods...can't go wrong there.

Pink and black were Erika's colors...can you tell?

The towel cake I made was used on the gift table :0)

And some of the lovely ladies that helped surprise Erika!

She was so deserving of a special afternoon! Her wedding is in a few weeks and I can't wait!
