details

I enjoyed being able to take pictures this past weekend at a neighbors baby shower. I was able to focus on some of the details and practice with my camera. I am enjoying this too much!  
The shower was held at her sister's house who also lives in our neighborhood, so I did not have to drive far! I made a personalized basket for her with things from her registry and other items that I found that she would need when she brings home her baby. I also scrapped a simple card for her to go with her color theme. I did not take a pictures of the basket before I left, however, her photographer at the shower took a picture of me with it coming through the door. The photographer and I connected and exchanged numbers. She's a SAHM who does photography and wants to get back into scrapping also. 
My basket and card were a hit. I am known for making custom baskets for friends when they have showers to fall in with their theme. I really enjoy personalizing it for the person.  The funny thing was when she was handed my basket and card, she knew it was from me and she told everyone that she was wondering if I was going to make her a basket because she has seen the baskets that I have done for other friends and neighbors! I was tickled to death, because I knew she was expecting a basket too.

Thanks Chassidy!
I took about 100 pics at her shower. I only posted the details pics that I took that didn't share too much information. It took me a while to get the pictures because I was trying to play games and other stuff but I have some wonderful shots of the entire shower.
I am going to give her all of the pictures on a disc. I have some very special ones of her hostesses, mom, grandmother and the different things we did during the shower.
