Hi, hoping some of you lovely ladies can give me some ideas here! Have no imagination what so ever!
My DD is almost 13 months, and i have quite a lot of clothes now that are too small for her. There is a lot that i will give away, but there are a few lovely little things that i wish to keep, like her first vest, first socks, first shoes, you see what i mean!
Don't just want to put them in a bag or a box and hide them away. Would like to 'do' something with them as a nice keepsake for me!
Anyone got any good ideas?
I am not artistic, or creative at all, so may be hard for me to do, but am sure could find someone to help me!
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
Should i post this somewhere else too? x

I know someone who makes little creatures out of baby clothes, they are called keepsake critters. Just google it and she should come up.

If you buy a frame with a deep inset..... Not sure what they are called, you can put a complete outfit in it along with baby cot card and hospital id bands

What Mollymax said. You need a box frame. That's what I have for both my dc, along with newspapers from the day they were born.

The deep photo frame idea seems to be very popular! Like that idea! Been looking online, but not yet seen one i like. Shall keep looking.
I have a newspaper from the day she was born, but not done anything with it, tis just in a big envelope! Thanks for the idea!
Any more ideas greatly appreciated!
Then, to make decisions! Lol!
