We keep our Christmas cards and randomly pic one a day for whom to pray. It was awesome last year. (We did them in alphabetical order last year but my husband wants it to be random this time. My OCD is having issues with this.) God worked in such wonderful ways last year. I can't wait to see how He works this year!!!<br />

I got to help with the "Minnie Mouse" party planning!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the invitations, some of the cupcake toppers and water bottle wraps. I was also a photographer! My fabulous friend, Kay helped too. We decided if we went into party planning business together we'd combine our names and call it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kandi Productions!</div>

For my sweet nephew, I helped host an</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Airplane Themed Baby Shower</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was FUN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since it was an early shower there were donuts, fruit and other brunch type foods.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coffee drinks, water and juice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created the invitations:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made the "BRECK" banner, the BRECK board, the party favors (lollipops with propellers that say "Thank You For Flying," and some other scattered paper goods.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother has a pilot's license (which is why Breck has all of the airplanes.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My brother actually flew over the shower. (center blue picture in the collage.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a fun moment!</div>

We were Pirates, Salty Sailors really.<br />
I decided we need to have some red roses to go with our attire.<br />
I was inspired by this <a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/2012/02/18/felt-flower-tutorial-guest-post/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+skiptomyloublog+%28Skip+To+My+Lou%29&utm_content=Yahoo%21+Mail&utm_source%EF%BF%BDedburner" target="_blank">Felt Flower Tutorial</a><br />
So I purchased an XL red shirt and started cutting.<br />
I made about 8 red flowers and then had to make some purple ones too out of an old shirt that was no longer useable.<br />

For Christmas the boys got a lot of Legos to add to the massive collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm NOT complaining AT ALL.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just stating facts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this CDO mama had to do something about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DB0GregdxzA/TxZWc17TSsI/AAAAAAAAHO4/V0_GOIK7Sf4/s1600/CDO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nfa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DB0GregdxzA/TxZWc17TSsI/AAAAAAAAHO4/V0_GOIK7Sf4/s320/CDO.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we went to work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First stop Target for their after Christmas sale on organizational items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got two wide drawer sets, one three drawer skinny set, two five drawer sets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we went to Home Depot and purchased a 15"x96" white melamine board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had them cut it to 82" which is what we needed to fit the top of the drawer sets described above. Then we went to work organizing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put the "together sets" in plastic bags with the instructions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The instruction books (that didn't have the pieces all together) in a drawer (or 3).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the extra pieces were sorted by color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If my CDO mother was doing it she would sort by piece type NOT color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But that would require more drawers than I could fit in my house so we went with this method. LOVE YOU, MOM!</div>
