More Baby Girl Shower Stuff. . .

This was the diaper cake we made. . . I loved it! They are so easy and fun to make. They add just the right touch to a shower! The eclairs we did not make however:) We ordered them from Bowman's and I love the little baby bootie they put on top!

And these were our darling party favors! {Oh, and when I say we made, I mean me and Suzanne, my mother-in-law:) Thanks Suz! It was way fun to do it all!} My sister and I made these for my friend Brooke's baby shower but with a boy design. They are made out of mini brown paper sacks. I don't have an upclose picture downloaded yet, but I'll put it up soon! We just bought the individually wrapped buttermints to put inside the mini purses. Yummy!

Baby Girl Shower Gifts!

My cousin is having a baby girl, and we had her shower last week. It was so much fun! I loved coming up with some fun things for a girl:) Here are the gifts I gave her. . .

The white BATH box I got at Taipan, and put inside multiple items that have to do with bathing. I also made a pink hooded towel, which is folded underneath it.

This was a holder I made for her shower to hold the cards she was given, and to record the people who came and the gifts they gave. That way it makes it easier to do thank you cards and it's a fun memory keeper:)

This is the inside view.

This was my favorite new thing to make! It is a Memory Can, and on the right is the notepad that goes with it. This is where she can write fun memories of her daughter, and put them in the can!

The top of the can explains it best, "Baby books are great ideas, but sometimes you're too busy. Living with a little one can put you in a tizzy. Milestones pass too fast at times to find the proper page, so jot a note at each event with date and baby's age... (like 'took 3 steps on June the 1st' or 'teething 5th of December'), then drop them in this memory can to help you to remember!"

This is a hospital packing list complete with things for the Labor itself, then the Recovery, and then things for the Baby to make sure to bring to the hospital. This was her first, so it's all new. My sister made one for me and it was so nice to have. There are so many things you just don't think about:)


And this was the card I made for her. I wanted everything to coordinate! :)
