Plant Baby - Baby Shower
Posted on August 19, 2007 - Filed Under Flowers/Gardening, Just for Fun, Virtual/Blog Party

Time for a little fun!
I’m throwing myself a little party. It’s a baby shower for the plant babies that my spider plant, Floyd, has finally produced. I’d love it if you could come. If you are reading this, then you are invited!!!!
But you MUST bring a gift for the plant babies. This can be any simple graphic of your own design, your own photo, or a photo from a free site. The image must be family friendly, of course, and it must relate somehow to the plants and their well-being. For example, in the original post’s comment section, my niece handed me a bottle of mountain spring water with a bow around it (which gave me this whole idea so you can blame her for feeding my creative imagination, LOL). See how creative you can be. I will reveal all the “gifts” in a future post. For now, just use the E-Mail Me tab at the top of this site to send me your graphic or the location of your image. Also please “sign the guestbook” by leaving a comment!
This “baby shower” will be accepting “gifts” for two weeks from the time of this post (to allow time for anyone who is creating their own graphic).
EDIT - Gift Registry - Here are some things my plant babies might like. If you could provide me with an image or the location of an image for any of these things, they will count as your shower gift: A watering can, a hanging basket, fertilizer or Miracle Grow, a plant stand, a sunny window, etc. You can take it from there. Just wanted to give you some ideas.

What a fun idea!! I will try and think of something creative and email you!
Oh my gosh, you’re so funny teeni. I know I always tell you that, but it’s true. So are you going to name all the babies?
Congratulations on the new babies! Maybe you should have a baby naming contest as part of the baby shower too - this coming from a non-graphic creating sort of person (read no idea how to create a graphic).
Thanks for stopping by my site and congratulations on your many awards!
Kami - you don’t have to create a graphic. A photo or free image from any free image site will work too. I’d just need the location of the image you pick for the plant babies’ gift! Feel free to join the party!
Great idea!
I guess I will have to email my pic using your own email addy as the email here, doesn’t accept anything but text?!
It’s coming….
Thank you ladies! I do want to try and keep things interesting here and what is a more fun and happy occasion than a baby shower?
Heather, I don’t know what to name the babies. First I’m hoping they will survive long enough for me to find new homes for them. LOL. If they do, I’d like to give them to some of my nieces and nephews. The only name I can think of that rhymes with Floyd is Lloyd though. If you can think of some let me know!
Merri - feel free to use my Email Me tab! Hopefully that one works for you!
I’ve caused trouble!
and I’m totally participating in this auntie… XD
Yes, Kiinu - you caused trouble! But it’s okay - it’s the good kind. And I totally EXPECT you to participate since you started this thing off. Hugs to you, kiddo.
hmmm….what will i bring you???
Now that I think about it - it was kind of dangerous of me to let Laura’s creative imagination go wild with this. LOL.
That sounds like a lot of fun. I’ll participate.
YAY Opal!!! The more the merrier!! If this works out, I have loads of ideas for future parties! This will make up for me having been so quiet in high school - now I’m a party girl! LOL
What a very cute idea! I love plants and its so exciting when a spider finally does its thing! I have nothing to send, but I hope you enjoy your shower and have lots of fun
You seem to think I am talented enough to post a pic or something. I am afraid I will just have to politley decline the invitation to the shower as I cannot post a pic
Aww, Mark - it just won’t be a party without you or Calamty! If you just locate an image on a free stock photo site such as http://www.morguefile.com then all you need to do is email me the location (displayed in the address bar, copy and paste it using the right mouse button) of the image and I’ll take it from there. I do hope you will try to make it! I plan to have more of these little parties!
I will be dropping off a few gifts…for my first…
THIS COMMENT WAS EDITED SO NOBODY CAN SEE THE GIFT UNTIL THE REVEAL!
But I think I know who is going to be asked to be the godmother!!!!!!!!!
Oh! Oops! Sorry…I didn’t mean to spoil the surprise!!!
Godmother??? Oh!!!! giggle
You didn’t spoil anything, Harmonia! I just wanted you to know why I cut off the end of your comment so you wouldn’t think I lost it! Oh YEAH - polish off your godmother garden gloves! LOL Ooooh - I was nuts to say two weeks! It’s only been two days and I can’t take the suspense!!!
Well - this has me in a puzzle - will have to get my thinking cap on. I’ll be back. Congrats.
So…if I send you other comments and gifts via comments that is ok…you can just edit them??? Sweet!
Sure - Harmonia, if that is easiest for you we can do it that way. It may be better because it stops in the moderation queue when the comment has a link so that works out well!
For my 2nd Gift…
**THIS COMMENT EDITED TO HIDE GIFT ***
I must say Harmonia, that I DO like the general “theme” of your gifts!!
Hey teeni, I’m definately in…I have a picture for you, but my computer (circa 1999 by the way…nice!) is so full that I have to clear some of the pictures out before I can load anymore. So, I’ll be sending my shower gift in the next few days.
Congrats Floyd, baby Floyd is just beautiful!
Thank you Lisa! I was hoping you would come! No rush on the gift. There are two weeks from the post date. I put a ticker counter in my sidebar! LOL.
Are the babies boys or girls??? teehee
Oooo - I never thought of that. Um, where does one look to figure that out? I can see between their leaves but um, I don’t really see anything that would make them look masculine or feminine. They just kinda look green. (This is probably why most of my plants don’t survive). Let’s just assume I have at least one of each. LOL. And the third one is just…um, one or the other. I hope THAT answers the question.
Every “babies room” needs …
***THIS COMMENT EDITED TO HIDE THE GIFT***
Harmonia - that just sealed it! I may as well just ask you now, “Would you do me the honor of being my plants’ godmother?” You obviously have their best interests at heart (and mine too!!!). LOL
Teeni!!! I would LOVE to!!! Aw!!! I’m blushing…
Ok…so there is a boy and a girl…and…a non-gendered alien??? lol
Yes! A boy, a girl and an indeterminate. That is about as real life as you can get. But they are all my plant grandchildren and will be treated and loved equally as such. LOL.
Awesome!
As they should be treated!!! 
[…] only one week left before my plant baby - baby shower, I don’t want anyone feeling like they can’t come to my parties so I am making this […]
This is supose to be a learning chart for your baby as he gets older!
This link didn’t work
so okay the last one appaerently I did not read it too closely so forget that but this one is a good one.
EDITED to hide the gift until the party!
