Tangerine Awakening

What do you get when you mix shades of

GRAY with ORANGE?
AWESOMENESS!!!
Well in this post, I decided to call it
~Tangerine Awakening ~
It really is doing something for me
because it reminds me of the
promise of something bright and new to come!
Plus it's an excellent color scheme
for your baby shower when
you don't know the baby's gender.

Budding Baby Cherry Blossom

CHERRY BLOSSOMS stand for
virtue & new beginnings,
making them an ideal theme for the
welcoming of a new baby.
They symbolize ephemeral things:
our lives, our joys,
and those fleeting times of
pure *glee*
...like the day of your
Cherry Blossom
BABY SHOWER!!!

Look closely and you'll see my

{Cherry Blossom} DIAPER CAKE reads:
"Love Grows... Tiny Toes"

www.chicgiftsbysass.etsy.com

To me this simple statement means
that the love of mom & dad
was big enough to create a new life and now
that life is a about to arrive
..the moment is almost here
..how exciting is that?!

{Cherry Blossom} DIAPER CAKE
has vibrant red flowers that
cascade down in a beautiful way...
LOVE that!
