Kim! It seems to me the point is the BABY, yes? So who's going to remember who threw the shower? The Mom is going to remember who came, who gave the most amazing gift (you can get amazing hand made gifts nowadays even if you can't make them yourself) to THE BABY! Something used everyday is going to be remembered long after who gave the dumb ole shower is forgotten! So find something like an amazing hand made layette set, or a snuggly crochet blanket, or make something amazing like rhinestone baby slippers, or cross stitch a baby sampler that hangs on the wall that they see and enjoy every day, and you will find much more satisfaction in that than planning a one time, oh so short and quickly forgotten party. At least, that's my opinion. Hey, when times get tough, the tough GO SHOPPING!

And of course you would be hurt at all this, but you can only do what you can do, and you never know, this other gal may even fall down and land in the cake.... well, fantasies are free!
And Gonna, they always take donations at the Goodwill or second hand shops, don't they?
{{{hugs to all}}} gotta go to work early today, stayed late late late last night, and possibly a strike :8o: tomorrow! Yikes, it's enough to make me glad I haven't added smoking into that mix!
