2018-01-23 07:10:50 PM rickyd We (the residents) gave a babyshower for our DoN, who's is expecting the first part of Febrary, but looks like she could go anytime. It was a big hit, and the DoN loved the cards, and crafts that were gifted to her. We also had an all inclusive craft during the shower; all that wanted, was able to paint small shells to be used as wind chimes or mobile for the baby's room.
