Another Shower!!!

We were very blessed today with another shower! Our chapel here threw a lovely one for us! Some of the ladies put A LOT of work into it, like one of them creating BEAUTIFUL invitations that must have taken sooooo much time and work. She did something called "quilling" (sp?) where you cut, roll up, etc., pieces of paper and and make designs out of them. I took some pictures this evening. I also took some pictures of the card she made to give us with her family's gifts, and one of a gift she gave us. She used the same technique on all of them. She must have spent hours upon hours! If you want to see the detail better, click on the picture and it should come up large.

Another friend did a beautiful job decorating the fellowship room where the shower was held! We had a pot luck with lots of good food! Yum! And there was dessert, including a cute shower cake that someone had got for us! And of course, there were the gifts! Our friends were sooooo generous and we were extremely blessed with many lovely things!!! There were a couple people taking pictures, so once I get some of them I'll try to put at least a few on the blog. Another special part of the day was that a couple of Stephen's co-workers and friends, who are also becoming friends of mine, came as well!!! To all of you who worked so hard (some in ways I may never know about) to give us such a special time and to all who gave so generously to us, THANK YOU a million times!

Ok, here are some picures of quilling:
