Just a few random shower ideas and thoughts that have been on my mind this evening...
01. I am so very excited about this whole amazing surprise! Thank you so much girls for putting it all together. Every time I log on here, I get all weepy thinking about how much Leslie is going to love this!
02. I cannot tell you how completely in love with this blog design! It is beautiful! I am especially in love with the "lined notebook paper"- seriously lovely.
03. Do we have a specific date set yet for the shower?
04. What is the plan for the day of the shower? What will the blog be like on that day? Are we posting photos of our gifts here or are we trying to get everything to Susan for her to give to Leslie that day? Sorry for all the questions, I was just kind of confused...
05. I would love to make a couple of appliqued onesies to go with the color scheme of Chelle's quilt. And maybe a few burp cloths, but we'll see if I can get the onesies done first...
06. And now for the big one...

I have an idea for the collaborative journal/scrapbook. (See photos above) (And dear moderators, feel free to shoot this down if you have a better idea- no hurt feelings, I promise!) I was thinking that it will probably be hard to get an actual circle journal up and circulating quick enough to get in done in time for the shower date. But, if we did it more "messy journal" style, with everyone sending their contributions to me to put together at once, I think we could pull it off...
I was inspired by the lovely "messy journals" Miss Emily Falconbridge (http://embers.typepad.com/) has sold in her etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=102997). (Sorry for the awful links- I don't know how to post a link in Blogger...) She also wrote a tutorial about how to put them together here: http://www.todaysmama.com/expand-articles.php?view=374&apg=2.

Anyway, I thought that if everyone sent me their thoughts- scrapbooked, written on paper, photos, whatever (I'm thinking normal notebook paper size and smaller)- I could put them all together into something messy journalish. What do you guys think?
Hope you are all having a lovely Monday evening!

Oh my word Andi...I A-D-O-R-E the idea of a messy journal and it would be SO MUCH Easier to just have all of us send our "stuff" to you and have you put it all together...I'd say go ahead and write up a post on the details of what to send and by when, etc. Wow this is SOOOOOOooo exciting!!!!
I have a feeling that everyone is SOOOOoo going to love what you've come up with.
as far as the date and details of the shower that is all still yet to be determined we are hoping that we can pool ideas and come up with something grand. so, please if any of you have any ideas for games, door prizes, we could have them on the hour...etc, etc. please do let us know by leaving a comment or posting your very own post here. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST ANY THOUGHTS OR IDEAS YOU MIGHT HAVE...that is the whole point of this blog ( for now anyway : )
Thanks Andi, you are flat out amazing!
P.S. Sorry for the insanely long comment everyone.

I completely agree with Chelle. Love, love, love the messy journal idea. Thanks for sharing your brilliant idea and for offering to take that project on! ~Dawna
Hey. What about having each lady take a picture of herself holding her gift(s) to Leslie and Cade, then post it on the shower day when she receives the actual gifts?
All you ladies are just amazing! I love all the ideas and am still just fathomed by this sweet dedication to Leslie and Cade! I don't know any of you but I love everyone of you, you are each such a blessing to me! I thank the Lord for you all!
Great ideas by the way!!!!!!
