Speaking of Baby Showers . . .

Okay, even if you WEREN'T, I have been!  See, here's the deal:

A girl who moved into the ward just after we did is having a baby boy any day now. It's her first - she doesn't have hardly anything and, obviously, she doesn't really know anyone. They are considering cloth diapers, so she needs money more than diapers, but they really don't have that much in terms of the bigger needs, either. I want to have a fun shower, but I also want it to DO something, more than just the usual games and presents thing. So . . . ideas? She doesn't have a theme for the baby/room - just trying to get what they need on a small income, and jury's still out on if he'll come early or not.

So, you may have seen this before, but I went to a shower a couple years ago where the hostess stung two long clothes lines across the room where the shower was and then pinned bibs, onesies, washcloths, clothing, receiving blankets, etc. all along the clothes lines -- they were all for the guest of honor (all contributed by those who brought other gifts in addition) and it looked adorable, plus she got more "stuff" that way (and you could put cloth diapers on it too). I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but I always thought if I threw a shower I would do that because it was so cute.
