Throughout the hop we'll be showing what we love about . . . . SUMMERTIME!!  From parties and celebrations to campfires and s'mores,  we hope you'll enjoy each and every project along the way!!  Sooooo, let's get hopping. . . .

For my project, I'm featuring the "Owly Hoo Sentiments" stamp set. For more details or to make this set YOURS, please click on the preview!!

What does summer mean to me? For me this year, spring & summertime are all about baby showers! Both of my daughters-in-law were pregnant at the same time! My grandson was already born on St. Patrick's Day & my granddaughter is due on July 7th. So needless to say, I've been buried in baby shower projects for quite a while now! Plus, I was just asked to do the decor for another shower in July. Phew!!

If you follow my blog then you've seen some of my shower projects already. Well, my daughter-in-law, Vanessa's baby shower is this Saturday! I was feeling pretty overwhelmed trying to finish everything, so I just decided I would feature this project for the blog hop. After all, my summertime is all about baby showers so far! Anyway, here are the party favors I've been working on the last couple of days . . . .

Here are the details:

The candies are Hershey's "Nuggets", which already have a gold or silver foil wrapper on them. I covered them with paper from Heidi Grace. I cut the paper into 1 x 3" strips, put a little bit of adhesive on both ends & wrapped it around the candy. The ribbon is from from my stash & unmarked. I believe the little 4 x 6" cello bags are from Michael's. See above for the stamp details. I had to make 50 of these, which was a little time consuming but super simple!
