Alicia's Baptism was such a special day. My parents flew in from GA along with my brother and his wife (the godparents) and their youngest, Sarah (my god-daughter), and my dad's mom flew in from LA.
I have this terrible habit of having to do finishing touches on projects the night before I NEED whatever I am working on. This was again one of those times, but I'm blaming this time on just having a baby 2 weeks before and also having to clean and prepare for company ;-)
My mom came out earlier than everyone and we had a really fun week together. She actually did some of the final touches on the gown. Something I wanted her to do so that it would be from both of us; A real keepsake handmade by her momma and grandma :-)
These pictures show where I got my ideas
And this is my finished product :-) I'm very happy with how it turned out!
The lace bonnet I whipped together the night before ;-) it only took about 30 minutes and was the last perfect touch.
