So.. What do you think? I had this image in my mind of how I wanted to do this diaper cake. (Somehow I got volunteered to do the diaper cake. Just because I do paper crafts, people think I am crafty!) You know sometimes we just wish we could plug our head into the computer and download the image that is in our mind. Sometimes I will get done with something and think, oh man, that looks nothing like what I imagined! I was happy that was not the case with the diaper cake. It is pretty close to what I imagined! I hope she likes it! I didn't think it was too bad for a first timer!


There is also a picture of the invitations! Can't take credit for those, they were on an idea sheet that I picked up at Joann's a long time ago!

I made a tear bear and attached a bunch of pink Heart Balloons. I put it in a frame. I am going to have everyone write something on each of the balloons!

The picture of the lips and Pacifier is for the photo booth we are going to do at the baby shower. I am going to cut a few more things like a bib and bottle and hat and such!

The little cupcakes are onesies and pants. They are going to be used for decoration, then the mom-to-be can take them home. I also bought some cute little outfits that we are going to hang on the wall to look like a clothesline as the decorations, again mom-to-be will be able to take the outfits.

I made some little notes to attach to the bottom of Hershey kisses. They are in the little pink bags.

I bought some hershey bars and covered them with paper and just left the SHE showing. Found this idea online! I really liked it!!

Then there are pictures of the little tote I made and the cards I made to put in it!!

I made some cute little bottle chocolates. I didnt know how to display them. I had this image of a crib, with the bottles inside. (This is where that plugging my head into the computer and downloading the image would have come in handy -- didn't quite turn out how I imagined but it is going to do!)

Here are some more pictures... how could I forget the cute little paper booties!! I love how they turned out! I just wish I had the cricut cart that would have cut those so I didn't have to do it by hand..

Also I made a little box for the Hershey Nuggets to go it! I cut some of the plastic from the packaging for the carts to use as the lid.

OMGoodness ... this is going to be (or was) a very special and amazing shower. Love the idea of the photo booth with the props ... great idea to have special notes written by everyone on the teddy bear's balloons, that will be a sweet keepsake for Mom ... your idea to have a clothes line filled with baby clothes sounds so cute as decoration for the shower and also a wonderful gift for Mom-to-be ... love love love the Hershey bar wrapper (what a creative idea) ... the crib with your candy bottles is darling ... the tote filled with little note cards is adorable ... the cupcakes made from baby clothing are so sweet and also another wonderful gift for Mom ... Great job on the diaper cake ... the baby shoes are fabulous ... love the little notes on the bottom of the kisses ... the nugget box is great too.

In fact ... EVERYTHING is incredible. You've really outdone yourself. A lot of talent, time, energy and LOVE shines through in every single item. Your efforts will have Mom-to-be be delighted, and the the guests as well.

Thanks everyone!! It was a lot of work but I enjoyed it! Mom-to-be was very surprised! I got compliments from everyone that attended! My biggest worry was that everyone would just leave all the favors on the table.. the ones I worked so hard on.. but it was just the opposite of that.. they didn't even leave me one!!! lol! But I was happy that everything was liked so much!!!
