Somewhere in my files I have a page saved from an old McCalls Needlecraft mag. That show a lot of different towel bibs. I'll have to dig it out. I wish your site had pictures.

Here's a couple ideas for you... The link I'm sending you has your palm trees of many styles for centerpieces. You will love this website-it's full of ideas, etc. On the home page, click on 'theme decor'on the sidebar-when that comes up-click on Tropical/Luau. Don't know how many tables you have to decorate-but you know the bamboo roller blinds? You could get them in narrower sizes & cut them to fit as table runners-probably would get 2 per shade. Another centerpiece idea might be to get the sheets of green styrofoam & cut into 12' squares-1 per table..as the base. Then cut 1/8 or 1/4' wooden dowels as the 'posts' for a tiki hut that would secure into the 4 corners of the styrofoam. You could cover the foam w/silk palm leaves (as flooring) and then use more of the bamboo shade cut & glued on the top of the dowels as the roof of the tiki hut. Then place your sand/shells on the leaves & maybe 1 larger baby. I would surround the styrofoam's edges (either by poking them in or hot glue)..with tiny orchids.

Agnes,There are company's that will put names and phrases on the outside of your book, but I don't know exactly which one. You can probably go to the scraplink site and find one. Good luck Penny Here is a link that might be useful: scraplink

You guys are the kindest people I know. I am beaming reading these comments. My daughter went home today (with the leftover cake) and I just posted the backdrop and blocks on our community giveaway page. Hopefully someone else can put them to good use. Also, I could not have done all this without my co-hosts. Especially the one who owns a printing business who ensured that all the packages were sent out in time. In this case, it takes a villiage to throw a shower. ETA: It was snapped up in under a minute on the site by someone who is planning a shower for next month. Happy all around.
