I have not been posting on the Muse as much as I'd like to lately, but I've been a little distracted. I'm expecting a baby very soon! My wonderful colleagues threw me a baby shower recently, and I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank them. They did such a fabulous, creative job. I'm using "The Wizard of Oz" as the nursery theme, and that carried over to the shower, with a "yellow brick road" table cloth, hot air balloon decorations, and rainbow napkins. The tasty treats included cupcakes, donut holes, fruit, and punch. I was blown away by the gifts — the baby's closet and bookshelf are quite full now! Thank you very much to everyone who "showered" the baby with such nice things.
A very special thank you to the team who planned/baked/decorated — Corrie, Ruthe, Adrienne, Mary, Suzanne, and Bette.

Ellis Library's fabulous Security Department put together a very festive and creative slideshow for the holiday party! The theme was "Peace on Earth," and many departments around the library participated by creating peace-related signs and having their photos taken.
The slideshow can be found here (MU login required):
(Thank you, Sheena, for sharing this with Muse readers. And thank you, Dustin and Matthew in LTS, for making the slideshow web-accessible.)
