Monograms for Showers
When all else fails, monograms are a no-fail way to pull a shower together if you are short on time and would like to use a bit of what you already have.
For this weekend's shower, I decided to use the frames bedind our dining room table to help carry the theme. All I did was purchase 2 sheets of 12x12 craft paper and two wooden monograms that were already white {on sale}.
I taped the sheets of paper over the framed art {IKEA frames} and then taped the wooden letter to the paper. You could glue gun it, but the tape is holding up fine. If it falls off in the next few hours or during the night...I will glue gun them to make sure they don't fall off during the SHOWER!
It is simple, un-cluttered and I think it will be fun for the bride-to-be to see her initials along side of her hubby-to-be! Can we ever get enough of _ + _ = LOVE? I don't think so!
If you wanted, it could be a great gift to the newlywed! You would just tape the paper behind the matte and GLUE GUN the monogram on top. Easy Peasy. I guess in the time it took me to post this, I could have done a better job and done it that way, but I have lotsa scones to make...so, unless I wake up at 4 AM, the pictures will stay just the way they are. SIMPLE~
Happy Wednesday!
SIMPLY...HOME
Thank you for all of you who have been praying for my momma. Her surgery went well yesterday and aside from being sick to her tummy and a few other minor things...she is doing well. I must admit we had a very fun conversation following surgery. A momma on drugs for pain can be quite entertaining!
Love to all of YOU!
Glad your Momma is doing better. Anything said in a recovery room is sacred...lol...Looks like the shower is going to be a beautiful occasion. Have fun.
