This weekend was an extremely busy weekend for me! I feel like I only slept like 8 hours TOTAL all weekend... Oh wait, I did! Anyway, My good friend had her baby shower this weekend! I hadn't seen her in a little less than 2 months but she is MUCH bigger than she was 2 months ago!
Some girlfriends and I decided to make a diaper cake for our hot mama friend. None of us had ever made one before! We just winged out and I must say... It turned out pretty fab!
What do you think? We used lots of items that were pastel colors! I learned that putting together a diaper cake is pretty easy! It's the shopping for the items and having to go to 5 different stores that's the hard part! We took about 2.5-3 (or more!) hours to hop from one store to another and drive back and about an hour to actually assemble it! All you need (to make one like this) is a pack of 100 diapers (don't go cheap! get the good kind so they can actually use them later!), a 4-pack of cute pastel baby bottles, a butterfly rattle, a huge plastic bottle piggy bank (Party City), a pastel pink bottle cleaner, 4 pacifiers (keep in the clear box so they don't get dirty), 4-pack of cute baby socks, 4-pack of cute baby mittens, a 5-yard roll of thick ribbon (pink for girl!), and some small ribbons (for the little bows), B-A-B-Y blocks, another stuffed lion rattle for the front centerpiece, a cute bib, some other goodies to stuff in the cake, rubber bands, a hot glue gun, safety pins, and a few good friends to help you put it together! This diaper cake was really just made with LOVE!

And just look at these adorable cupcakes from Sprinkles they had at the shower!!!
So freaking cute... and yummy! I'm sooo obsessed w/ Sprinkles right now! Red velvet is the absolute BEST.
I went a little crazy on the stickers on my photo editing program I use! Hehe
T-Style Net Floral Dress (from London, first time wearing it!), Dooney & Bourke vintage crossbody bag (can also be used as a fanny-pack!), Tiffany & Co. necklace, BCBGeneration wedges.
Anyways, just a few months away before little bundle of joy comes out! I can't wait to buy her little booties and cute stuff!! :)
