Many baby shower centerpieces will be made with candles surrounding them. Such as floral centerpieces, using fresh or artificial flowers. Fresh flowers will be more economical if you choose flowers that are in season. When choosing artificial flowers, you can go with silk, chocolate flowers such as roses, plastic flowers, or light-up roses.

• Use a wicker basket and fill it with baby items. You could put a cloth diaper, diaper pins, baby bottles, bibs, baby socks, pacifiers and other small baby items. Surround the basket with small candles or put a couple of helium balloons tied to the handle.

• If using a beach theme, use a beach bucket and place a flower arrangement inside, with candles around the outside. Or put small tools for the beach inside the bucket.

• Fill a small goldfish bowl with water and fill it with floating candles and flower buds. Or you might even add a goldfish to the water.

• Use votive holders and candles that match your theme. They will provide a soft type of illumination to the event.

• Go to a craft section or a craft store and purchase small pink and blue gemstones. You could place these in votive holders, or small glass vases of different sizes. Add shredded tissue to the mix and you will have another lovely baby shower centerpiece.

• You could get different glass figurines of a stork, swan, castle, teddy bear, or whatever would fit with the theme. Put them in a box filled with colored shredded paper and put the figurine on top. Any of these would be a great addition to your baby shower.

• Hang an umbrella from the ceiling filled with stuffed animals. Or you could put flowers inside and add balloons, dolls and/or ribbons.

• Fill a bucket, bowl, or basket with candy, small stuffed animals, or flowers.

• If the baby shower is in the fall or winter. Use small pumpkins, headstones, or leaves of different colors. Pumpkins could be made of tissue, or small figures of pumpkins.

These are just some ideas to choose from. Think about them, mix and match, or add your own ideas to make baby shower centerpieces that perfectly match your theme. You and your guests and guest of honor will have a fun day. They will be getting away from reality for a short time to rest and enjoy themselves.

Here we go into election season and already the Democrats are talking about raising our taxes? That is a silly notion indeed because as soon as they raise our taxes they will spend all the money on stupid projects and typical wasteful spending. Government's job is to protect the American people and that is what they need to do. Their job is not to create pet projects and below the hard earned taxpayers money on such silly things.

During this election season we need all congressmen and senators to reaffirm their commitment to make the tax cuts permanent. Anyone running for election currently who will not sign on in advance to a permanent tax cut solution for our nation's ongoing economic vitality does not deserve the vote of the American people. Anyone who would raise our taxes does not deserve the confidence of the American people.

Here's the deal, we own the government and we are the government and we decide what happens. We elect representatives to vote their conscience however, when those representatives fail us and then raise our taxes they no longer represent the American people and need to be thrown out of office. Currently the Democrats want to raise our taxes. That is a no go and a no vote.

Lower taxes mean more spend able income for Americans and that means they can live a higher standard of living and better quality of life. They will be able to buy more things and when they do that will employ more people. When more people are employed there will be more people paying into the system and therefore more tax base anyway. Why on earth would anyone raise taxes to kill the American economy?
