One of my dearest friends, Nefertiti is expecting a Baby Girl, Abeni, in the next few weeks!! How exciting!! Abeni is an African name meaning "girl prayed for"... completely accurate in her case :)
Friends to the rescue! Mia, Lorie, and I took on the task of hosting the baby shower and while it was hectic to fit planning into our schedules, it was definitely a task our hearts enjoyed.
The theme was a Jungle Baby Shower. I have to admit that I fell in love with the little Monkey right away! I just knew she had to be the star of the cookies!
Each person got a cookie in a celophane baggie with a contrasting printable as the Shower favours. The labels said "Celebrating Abeni. Love, Nef & Jesse" *oops* I forgot to take a picture of the packaged favours.

Here's the themed inspirtation piece |

I flooded the cookies and outlined the monkeys |
|
After letting the outline dry, each monkey got a face and a smile! |
|
Finished Monkeys! Don't they look like they're having a grande time!? |
|
Accent cookies to round out the collection.
Nef and Jesse (the Dad) were showered with love and gifts and hopefully had a fantastic time!
I know we all cannot wait until baby Abeni makes her debut!
Cookies and Kisses,
Mel
