I am looking for ideas on a girlie diaper cake. We really don't have a theme so anything goes.
Thank you!
: Here is a photo of a diaper cake for the centerpiece, if you do not have directions for a diaper cake I can email you them, just use winnie the pooh things.
: ok, I have tons of ideas and things saved for favors.
: 1. Candle
: Take a votive candle and decoupage on a winnie the pooh small clipart, wrap in tulle, tie with ribbon and attach this poem:
: Candle Favor Poems
: Here's a candle for you to light,
: Once the stork has made its flight.
: With the flicker of the flame,
: Say a prayer in the baby's name.

: A little candle for you to light,
: Once the stork has made its flight.
: The flame will glow to celebrate,
: Baby _________'s arrival date.
: author unknown
:
: This is a gift for you today,
: So when I'm born you'll light my way.
: And when the happy day is here,
: Burn this candle and spread good cheer.
: author unknown
:
: Here is a candle for you today,
: To light when baby is here to stay.

: Here is a candle for you to light
: Once the stork has made her flight

: Seed Packet
: Make winnie the pooh seed packets with wildflower seeds in them and print the poem on the back.
: Seed Packet/Flower Poems
: A little plant in a pot,
: please keep it in a sunny spot.
: Give this plant your care, my dear,
: A living reminder of someone near.
: A beautiful baby bundled in layers,
: please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
: Thank you for support and love,
: As we welcome our gift from God above.
: Here are some seeds and a little clay pot.
: They are a lot like a baby believe it or not.
: Both of them needing special care and love.
: Fragile new lives sent from above.
: Each time you see them be sure to remember,
: every day is a gift and God is the sender.
: Take your seeds home,
: give lots of love to show,
: and when ________ has her baby,
: you can watch them all grow!
: The Tiny Seed
: Each day God sprinkles a million seeds
: into his garden of life.
: Some will land in weeds and clay,
: but most in the soil of a loving husband and wife.
: God will give the tiny seed
: most of what it needs to grow
: But the rest must come from the soil,
: and the soil is us you know?
: So if you are lucky enough to receive
: a tiny seed from above,
: Nurture it with kindness, faith, happiness and love
: Then, not long before you know it
: your seed will begin to sprout.
: And a strong beautiful blossom
: will soon find its way out!
: written by Connie Fuller
: A little seed for me to sow
: A little earth to make it grow
: A little hole, a little pat,
: A little wish, and that is that.
: Add some sun and then, a flower
: And thanks to you for the lovely shower.

: Please plant these seeds
: And watch them bloom,
: Just like Baby (last name)
