It’s been eight months and six days from my last post.

A lot of things has happened and not so much on posting any of them. For one, a baby girl was born.

Last year!

My nephew, Mario, and his wife, Kannitha gave birth to a healthy, baby girl named Olivia.

Before she turns one years old in a couple of months, here’s a snapshot of the sweets table and decor I threw together for a baby shower. Thanks to family members who helped move things, glue things, tie things and the patience to take explicit orders from yours truly.

And on that note I can say that I couldn’t have done it without my #silhouetteCAMEO because #SilhouetteRocks and I #Makeallthethings happen.
