Diaper Cake wanna be!

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby next month. Woohoo! A little boy named Evan.. Or Carter, depending on if who you ask-- Mom or Dad :) I wanted to take a try at a diaper cake. I absolutely LOVE seeing them around blog land and at parties. Whats the worst that could happen right?

ha..

ha..



I guess it's not HORRIBLE. I don't think we'll see it on (diaper) cake wrecks ;) or anything. But what I had in my mind was a little more fabulous. Want to make one? Get your husband to sit down with you on a Saturday afternoon 2 hours before said shower and roll and tape diapers with God's speed. :) Some pretty ribbon, wooden animals and sports stuff.. (Nursery theme is Sport safari) and some clothes, shoes and (Matching!!!) bubbles and lotion, and you're set girlfriend! Practice makes perfect, anyone else want to get pregnant so I have a reason to keep making them?? Takers? :-D

    Sports Safari- as in lions and elephants wearing sports gear and playing football?

    I had no idea you were doing this. I have a box of rolled and taped NB diapers from a diaper cake that I never made. I could have shipped them.

    Lame.

    P.S. Phone has died. Post about your day so I can hear what happened!

    Looks good to me. I vote (don't I get one?) for Carter - my DS#1 is named Carter.
