In the Nook... I had heard of Diaper Cakes before but had never actually seen one. One of the ladies at our co-op is expecting in July and we're having a baby shower for her tomorrow. I wanted to do something extra special for her since she's been through a lot of sickness, and her mother also passed during this pregnancy. I made her a Diaper Cake today and I think it turned out beautifully. I went online to find out the instructions about two weeks ago and found a store that sells them, so I checked out what they had, as far as design and how they're set up. I could not believe they range in price from $89-$200+ ! Mine was less than a third of that to make. There cakes only had 1-3 flowers on them and the layers had big gaps between them...not like stair-step layers. Anyway, I wanted to post my pictures of the one I made and how it looks after I finished it and wrapped it in it's veil of tulle.
This is the right side of the cake
This is the left side of the cake~
This is the final touch - the tulle veil ~
That's a beautifully crafted gift. I recently saw baby onesies and baby wash cloths and socks etc. all rolled up to look like roses, and so a whole basket of "flowers" with a few extra silk leaves for foliage.. another pretty gift.
I made a little change with my Friends List. It's on the left side and to open it just click on the word "Friends" and it pops out! Neat, huh! To close it click on it again! Thank you

Seven Steps to Raising Godly Children
Principle - Impart God's word on your children and live in a way that you are their greatest example of what a Christ-abiding parent should be.
Pattern - Teach your children a pattern of prayer; when to pray, how to pray, and why prayer is important.
Persistence - Don't ever give up...teach your children to always have faith and not to give up when things get hard.
Participation - Our children crave our attention! The way our children see us is the way they'll see God in thier lives.
Praise - Encourage children, praise them when they do something right and help them when they have a hard time.
Prayer - Teach your children to pray and then to TRUST God for the outcome.
Priority - Make God the Head and Heart of your home and let them live with God's desire coming first in your lives.
