31 Days of Crafting - Day Thirty-One - Grand Finale - Baby Shower Diaper Cake

I made it, the last day of my month of crafting projects!  I set off to achieve this every year but never quite hit thirty-one projects, so this year is special for me!  And it's an even bigger deal 'cause in thirty-one days, I made thirty-nine projects!

This is it, the gift that goes with my baby shower tag and card.  And I have to admit that a diaper cake seemed soooo daunting at first, but in the end I am THRILLED with how it turned out!!

We started with a Princess theme and went from there.  I LOVE how the cake turned out!  It's soo cute in person!

There's tons of diapers here to help out the new mom-to-be!

The top tier is washcloths :D

And here's a photo of the gift all wrapped up!
