Duck Punch

My daughter had a Rubber Duck theme for her baby shower and this Duck Punch was perfect.  If you want to do something like this for a baby girls shower, just use pink ducks.  The punch still looks really pretty even if everything else around it is pink. 

Here is the link that will give you the recipe and instructions:

Diaper Babies - Baby Shower Gifts and Decorations

I made these cute little Diaper Babies for my daughter's baby shower. So easy to do. They make a great gift for the mother-to-be because everything can be used. The diapers, the baby socks and the wash clothes. Even the basket and the blanket (I lined the basket with). 

Here is the link that will give you step-by-step instuctions on how to make them -
