We played games....
There were decorations...a little pink camouflage number I whipped up just for the party.
There were gifts...
...including this one of a kind change pad honouring one of our old recruitment campaigns. The campaign was called What Would You Change, so that makes this a What Would You Change mat! I'm sorry, but it still makes me laugh every time I say it. It's made out of one of the leftover campaign t-shirts, so it counts as an upcycled project to boot!
I also got our entire department to contribute their old work t-shirts to another one of a kind project, a BCIT quilt...'cause what new mom doesn't want a constant reminder of work while they're on maternity leave? It may not be a shining example of my quilting skills, but it gave everyone a good laugh and will be put to good use, I'm sure!
It was so awesome to see Erika and have a chance to hang out with her adorable little girl, Sydney. People need to bring babies to the office more often. Wouldn't that be nice?
Sydney and I had a fabulous time. Even if she did sleep through most of it! The quilt and change pad were awesome and totally impressive to someone who couldn't thread a needle or wind a bobbin to save her life.
ReplyDeleteOh and I loved the camo decor ... didn't realize that was your handy work as well. So talented!
ReplyDeleteWow, looked so fantastic! So sad I missed it.

ReplyDeleteGlad you're liking the items Erika! It was so nice seeing you and Sydney.

ReplyDeleteYes, Leslie, it's shameful that you were busily working away poolside in San Diego while we were partying at the office. ;-)
