A Surprise for Erin

This past weekend we celebrated Erin's upcoming wedding at a very cute Bridal Shower in Glendora. We had a great time playing games and watching Erin open her bundles and bundles of presents. It was great to see all the wonderful things Erin and Andrew received, but I was excited for present-opening for a whole other reason. I had a little secret gift for Erin.

For about the last 3 weeks in August I worked on an extra special gift for my "Luva." I sent out an email to Erin's closest female friends and family asking for recipes, as well as, pics of them and Erin. The response was amazing! I had such a great time putting together Erin's special cookbook (honestly, my favorite gift I've ever given!). "Erin's Cookbook" ended up being 100 pages of recipes from all of her family and friends. Here is a look at the finished product!











ps - I love you Apple for enabling me to put together such a nice, quality, hardback book!

Don't tell the other shower attendees...but it was BY FAR the best present I got! Definitely one of those things that I'll keep forever and ever and ever!!
