Baby Sprinkle/ Cooper Update

Cooper Up Date:
Little Cooper came through his surgery just fine.  They had to really cut into his cheek to get all the tumor.  He was wagging his tail when we picked him up at the Vet.  Nothing seems to phase this little guy.  Just happy no matter what is happening with him.  He was back to playing with my daughters dogs and eating that same night.  So now we just wait for the pathology to come back in a week to 10 days.  Hoping and praying for good news on that report.
As you can see he has quite the scar to talk about!!!!  We told him it gives him character and he is still our little handsome man!


Just a happy camper.  He seems to take everything in stride.  Thanks for your well wishes for this handsome sweet guy.




Wooooo Hoooo Closing Tomorrow on the New Nest!!!!!!


We are closing tomorrow on the new house.  We will not take possession of the new place for another month.  We had to give the sellers  30 days after closing to rent back and move out.  While we wait to move into our new nest where I can unleash my decor happy and share, I thought I would share some creative things I am making for my daughters up coming  Baby Sprinkle.

Apparently when you throw a baby shower for the second child it is called a Baby Sprinkle.  Ahhh the new things I learn everyday!












My daughter Jen is having our second granddaughter at the end of June.  Her first baby and the love of our lives is Abby.  Abby will be 6 years old this May.  So we are so excited to know she will be a big sister to a new baby sister in June.

Abby's new sister's name will be Charlotte Grace and we cannot wait to meet her.

My younger daughter Kim and I are planning a "Baby Sprinkle" for Jen on May 14th.

Here are some of the things we are making for the up coming shower.

I took child size garden boots and spray painted them pink.  I added faux pink flowers and tied off with pink Ribbon and Its a girl tags.  I added a pink baby shower umbrella with the boots.  These will be the center pieces for each table at the Baby Sprinkle.
One of my daughter's favorite lip balm is the eos strawberry sorbet flavor.  So I wanted to make favors with something that I knew my daughter loved and would want to share with each of the guests.

I found the pink strawberry sorbet eos lip balms.

I found these cute baby sprinkle cards on Easy with the hole in the center for the eos balls to fit.  Such a cute idea.


For another sweet favor I found these cute Ready to Pop favor boxes.  Garrett's Pop Corn is a popular Chicago treat and one of my daugher's favorites.  So we will be putting Garrett's Chicago Pop corn together in these cute boxes for another take home favor.




YUM!!!!

For some shower prizes I took two bloom bowl covers.  Have you seen these?  They replace using cling wrap on your bowls and serving pieces.  You can micro wave with these and store left overs.  They are so cute and saves on using a lot of plastic wrap.

I tied off the cute little kitchen towel and bloom covers into a paper tray I found at Michaels.  I loved that I found the cute kitchen towel to tie in the shower/sprinkle theme.

Another cute prize are these Godiva candy dishes with Godiva truffles.  I tied them off and added a Starbucks gift card to each one.
Nothing is better than good Godiva chocolates and Starbucks.

 I am waiting patiently for the new nest to be ours so I can share some of the new decor transformation ideas with all of you.  It was fun to post something sweet and fun today on the upcoming Baby Sprinkle and all the fun ideas we are doing to make this Baby Sprinkle special.

Seriously!!!! after this past year with all the crazy it will be fun to get into the new house and start to post on the decor transformations.
I cannot wait to share that with all of you.

  I cannot wait to get in to this place and transform it into our new Cottage Home.

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.
Kris

  13. Darling Kris, YIPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEE COOPER looks amazingly well, and leave it to a dog to wag his tail no matter what. What a love bug he is! Yes, quite the scar, but he's made it through! So many fabulous things to think about here and to be grateful for! I love those pink boots and all the happy décor. Keeping you in my prayers.

  15. Cooper is just the cutest thing! I'm surprised he's not wearing a cone. I hope that the lab reports come back good. Congrats on closing tomorrow! I know you will be glad to have that behind you and begin your new life soon. I think it's nice that ya'll are letting them stay there one more month till their new home is ready. That's a win-win for everyone.

  17. Hi Kris well that will be one heck of a scar on Cooper, but hey it'll give character to his handsome face. Thank goodness you and Terry are there to love and care for him and the tumor was caught and removed. No one plans events like you Kiris! Everything is planned out and put together adorably. Sprinkle for a second baby shower ... still makes me smile the word Sprinkle. Wishing you a happy closing day I'll be thinking of you at 3 tomorrow my sweet friend.
    xoxo,
    Vera

  38. I'm playing catch up, Kris, so I'm late to this post. Your creativity amazes me. I love the ideas you come up with. Your mind must be abuzz with them constantly. The boot centerpieces, the popcorn, the raspberry sorbet lip balm. I think I've mentioned this before, but you are the ultimate party planner. Truly. You rock! Hugs, Nancy P.S. Charlotte Grace? I adore that name! Abby must be beside herself with anticipation. She'll make a fantastic big sister.

  39. Wow! I love all of your plans for the sprinkle! I had never heard of a second baby's shower being called that nor had I ever seen the cute lip balm and cards or those bowl lids! You're much more up on things that I am LOL! You also host the best and most creative parties! I am sure that your daughter will love every minute! Speaking of love I love the baby's name! So pretty! Can't wait to see pics after the event! Hugs, Leena
