So the first thing I made was a pretty pink box for my friend Megan. This is like a memory box. Something to put all of her sashes, pictures, shot glasses ect in to remember her bachelorette party. I really liked making it and it was SOO easy. Basically you go to a craft store, get a box, buy some fun stationary decorating things, maybe some ribbon and just glue it all on. You can customize them to their favorite colors a, a theme, ect. They work for baby showers, girls night outs, birthdays, all sorts of things. She loved it and it was $30 for the stuff. Not bad ;)
The other thing was a bit more of a learning experience. I eventually enjoyed the outcome. The problem was Jed was gone so there was no one here to distract the cats. They unwrapped my diapers, ate my tissue, carried of my ribbon and then I ran out of tape. By the time Jed called I was so frustrated and just trying to keep them from eating things. He came home with tape, new tissue and a boxy of fruits since I couldn't eat chocolate (ulcer). How sweet is that! I am very smitten with him. Anyways, a few things if you're going to make a diaper cake.
1) It's easier if you use 1 ribbon to hold them together
2) Use very strong tape and do this first
3) If you don't use enough tape...they will pop open
4) Cut a cardboard base to fit the whole cake
5) Don't have pets around

All in all it turned out okay :)
3 blisters, ribbon, tape and lots of frustration later....
....It turned out well
Cleo is proud of "her" work ;)
