Shadow Box

After 3 and 1/2 years, I finally got around to finishing up my daughter's newborn shadow box.

I used an 11 x 14 shadow box frame that I got from Michael's. Looking back, I think a square box would have worked better so that it would give me more room on the left and right side. The onesie takes up most of the room, and I found it a little difficult fitting everything in the box. Regardless, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. 

This is what I used in my shadow box:

- Footprints (I brought a piece of scrapbook paper to the hospital. The nurses will stamp your baby's footprint. Hopefully your nurse will put left foot on left, and right on right side)

- Onesie

- Hospital Hat

- Hosptial Bracelet

- Name card from hospital crib

- New Baby Announcement card

- "It's A Girl" heart was recycled from one of the cards I received.

- Pins

Diaper Bag

Just received my new diaper bag from pottery barn kids and I love it!! The quality is really nice and it's a neutral enough bag that hubby won't mind carrying it for me. It was incredibly hard to find a cute diaper bag that didn't have an annoying print. Best part is it was under $150! I'm a little annoyed that the embroidery is off center but I can deal with it. I desperately need a diaper bag and I don't want to return it and wait for a new one.

Sorry for the upside down photo. I don't know how to rotate it!

Here is the link if you'd like to purchase. They have quite a few cute bags in different colors.
