A friend of mine is having a housewarming party, and it's the first time she's ever lived on her own. She did a registry at Target, and put a lot of little household things that she needed to get that add up when you buy them all— things like saran wrap, trash bags, toilet paper, cleaning products, etc. When she told me about it, I (jokingly) I told her I'd be giving her the prettiest wrapped trash bags she'd ever seen. Well, trash bags were taken, so I couldn't make good on my threat, so instead I made her...

...a toilet paper cake!

You know, like those diaper cakes people give at baby showers. It looks even more fun in person. I threw in a few bottles of Method cleansers. The little flower fan like things are printed paper towels. I had a lot of fun with it. I don't know most of the people who will be going to the party, so I'm going to feel a little bit silly walking in with this monstrosity, but I think it'll be funny.
