This Sunday was Kristin's bridal shower. She wanted a surprise...and after wearing dresses to EVERYTHING for the past few weeks and being prepared for the shower to happen at any time, hopefully she's happy with how it turned out. :-)

Kristin and some of our work peeps.
The awesome cake that Jackie (Kristin's future SIL) made.
I made tropical body scrub (coconut lemon/lime) as the shower favors. As a group we then "beached it up" by putting the little containers in a cute plastic martini glass with a little umbrella. Fun!
We had two
REALLY funny moments at Kristin's shower. The first one was before Kristin even got there! It seems we should have been more clear with the restaurant hostess what Kristin and her fiancé look like. The hostess tried to lead an adorable couple into our function room. I've never seen a guy jump away from his girlfriend and emphatically shake his head "no" as fast as that guy did!
The second funny was courtesy of my mom. As part of her gift, she gave a few Yankee Candles. The "
blueberry scone" candle smelled yummy! However, the "
mmm....bacon" candle; not so much. It was so bad that it made it's way around the room for all to smell. As a group we all decided that it smells like Kibbles n' Bits. Lesson learned! Always smell the candle before you buy it; even if the sales associate tells you that it's a
best seller.
