Baby Shower



I made a diaper cake yesterday for my friend's baby shower. I never did something like this, but I was looking for some ideas for baby showers and found this. I had some lace and ribbons (from Aunt Janet) and some left over Huggies and Pull-Ups from Edson and got to work on it.
Ta da! It was finished in less than an hour.
Karina is expecting her second girl! Giuliana, her first, is 8. We have been friends for a while, since Giuli was in Kindergarden at CPA.
Once when we were going somewhere, I saw a rainbow in the direction of their house. So, I messaged her and told her that God had a promise for her. She texted me back to say..."How did you know?" We laugh a lot about that! She let out her secret thinking that somehow I knew...before she was even two months pregnant. All I wrote was that God has a promise for her and her family because I saw a beautiful rainbow over their house.
We had fun picking out names and blessing our friend's pregnancy and baby. I printed out some cute Bible verses to read and to take home.
We prayed for this child and the Lord has granted us what we asked of Him. – I Samuel 1:27
“Every good and perfect gift is from above.” – James 1:17
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you…” – Jeremiah 1:5
“From the fullness of grace we have received one blessing after another” - John 1:16
“I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.” – Psalm 92:4
“And He took the children in his arms, put His hands on them and blessed them.” Mark 10:16
“Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward.” – Psalm 127:3
“For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.” – Psalm 139:13
It was a fun, girls night out!

Great job on the cake! I've seen some that must have cost an arm and a leg with stuffed animals and bottles and bibs and onesies tucked into every crevice. Yours is really beautiful- and it only took an hour?!

That looks so professional!
You did a super job, and my guess is everyone oo-ed and ah-ed over it! It's beautiful.
I like the rainbow promise and conversation. She'll never forget that this baby is a promise from God, just the way things transpired.
You have such a talent! I'll echo Heidi.." and it only took an hour?!"
