My first official Diaper Cake



So I was inspired to start blogging by one of my closest friend Aileen. It's like I was obsessed with reading her blogs especially since I dont talk to her on a daily. I figured by reading her blog I can see what she is up to on a day to day. Then I found myself reading other peoples blogs and thought hey this might be kind of fun.

So here it goes.......

Last night I completed with the help my of favorite artistic person Gina (Nolan's 2nd mom) a hand made diaper cake. This weekend is one of our close friends baby shower and besides the normal gift you give i wanted to make something a little special with my own personal touch. So I thought of a diaper cake. I started browsing websites to get ideas how other people made diaper cakes and types of designs. Since I hate reading instructions I figured why not youtube how to make a diaper cake. After watching the Youtube video, I thought WOW this is easy. The same night I made a list of things I needed and thought of how I wanted my diaper cake to look. So the next day I went to Michael's and Walmart and bought my supplies. Of course I dragged Gina along with me because she gets a kick out of this whole lets do crafts!! You should of seen us at Michaels, here I was stressed out because of colors I wanted to use and not finding the right shade down to the flowers I wanted to use as decor. While she was laughing and pushing the cart while telling me "Isnt this fun!!!" I told her "Are you crazy??!?!! This is stressful!!" Well after spending about little over an hour at Michael's we got everything picked out.

So I went home and started rolling diapers and before I know it Whala a hand made diaper cake.!! Thanks Gina for all the help!!! Couldnt have done it without you!!
