It's a Diaper Cake, Baby!

I am one of twelve or fourteen hostesses this weekend for a baby shower for our precious new Youth Minister-Intern's wife. She is wonderful, and he is too!

I had the joy of making the invitations.

She told me the nursery would be in blues and browns.

Here is what I came up with.

(I... meaning, me and the Lord)

I was thrilled with how they turned out. We had a shower meeting and couldn't really decide about a table decoration and then I saw Elizabeth's creation! I knew when I saw it that I just had to try to make one. I had never seen one of these before. A diaper cake! Who knew?

She was so gracious and generous to share her instructions and her expertise.

Thanks a million, Elizabeth!

(She is amazing! I've tried several of her recipes and they are wonderful.)

So, with the help of my girls we set out to purchase the supplies.

Have you heard the one about

the three blondes that tried to make a diaper cake???

Oh, I couldn't have done it without their help! Thank you, sweet girls!!!

An hour and a half later this is what we made:

We just fell in love with the little elephant. If you pull his tail, he plays a lullaby. Tiny socks, tiny bows, tiny diapers...I think I need to "go take an Advil" as my sweet hubby would say. Two Advil and the baby fever will pass.

Anyway, it was so much fun! Fun memories with my girls!

Ya'll have a blessed weekend!

Joyfully,
