Laura and Derrick celebrated with family in Ohio the upcoming birth of their first baby.  I'm a little partial to these two because they are my daughter and son-in-law and the "Little Pumpkin" is my grand-daughter Eleanor. Grandparents can get a little carried away celebrating family milestones but I was able to keep this event under budget. I can't say the same about the gifts we bought! I had purchased flowers for my other daughters wedding. Took everything apart and sorted it all out. Mixed in elements that I already owned and purchased a couple pieces to take it to the next level. You can have a beautiful event and still stay on point with your budget. Borrow elements, thrift stores, yard sales, bargain bins, and the marketplace are great ways to be environmentally conscious and budget friendly. Little cleaning, paint, flowers can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
