Bridal Towel Cake Tutorial / Bridal Shower Gift

Want to bring a unique gift to a Bridal Shower!? I've got he perfect gift. I made the "cake" below for my friends shower, too cute.

Supplies: 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel, 1 washcloth, ribbon, fabric glue, topper of your choice, scissors, felt, packing tape

Directions: 1.Fold each towel horizontally for desired hight. 2.Roll towels to form the circular shape. 3.Wrap ribbon around the middle of each towel and fasten the ends together with fabric glue (Be sure to use a buffer of some sort between the ribbon and towel to keep glue from getting on the towels. I used felt.) 4.Place towels on top of each other and top with your topper. You can use tape to secure each layer together and to keep topper in place. 5.Take your gift to the shower for the perfect present centerpiece!

Maternity / Infant Photo

The first picture I took at home before going to the hospital on the day Jackson was born, 11-15-11. Then the second was soon after he came home from the hospital. My husband put the pictures side by side using Pixelmator. I will have to do this with all my kids.
