Today, my "Works For Me" Wednesday is about framing your baby's keepsake. After each birth of my children, I would have a simple, soft cotton t-shirt monogrammed with the year they were born. I would have their newborn picture taken in it...all three slept right during the picture. Take it while they are still really sleepy...week after the birth:)!
After the picture, I frame the t-shirt in a "keepsake" frame (wide) with the picture at the bottom with a ribbon tied to it. It is very simple but I get so many compliments on them and my oldest is 9!! It's a "sweet" way to remember those first couple of weeks!

Oh Sandy Toes...where were you my friend when my kiddos were born to put this bug in my ear? I can still do it with a tiny shirt of their, but not the same 'oof' you get from this GREAT idea of yours!
Hope your week is going well hun!
Hugs, Les
What a great idea that I didn't do :(
Oh well, I am glad someone did. Way to go.
That is so sweet! I'm sure that your kids will be glad you did that for them1
That is so sweet! What a great keepsake.
Awesome. You are so full of terrific ideas. I love it.
OK, would you please stop making the rest of us look bad with all your fantastic ideas??? lol
This one is definitely one my favorites. Gets me right in the heart...just precious!
Oh wow...you are GOOD! I love this!!! Ang
Can you come and be my baby/parenting consultant? You have such great ideas! Do you mind if I steal a few of them?
ahhh, lovely! love framing their handprints, too. ♥
So sweet. Where were you 15 years ago??????
That is a great idea. I too have had my baby's pic. within a week or two-and those are my favorite...I love the monogramed idea. I wonder if I can squeese them in one now while they sleep??? I am too late! Darn!
(Yes, the dog keeps growing! She is about 30 lbs. and we were told she would only be about 20! She is too big for my boys to walk her without her running away! Great! Another job for me!!!)
She is getting groomed today-she was a MESS from going up-north, and she could be looking really ugly in a few minutes...)
Those are precious!
Really cute idea! I love keepsake frames!
Hope you're having a great day!!

You should write a book about all the clever ideas and traditions that you have created. I mean it... they are fabulous! Or do a post one day on all of these so I can print it and keep it!! ;)

I am so glad I met you. Between "Ruby Red Slippers" and you I have gotten lots of sweet ideas.
Where do you come up with all of your creativity?
I love how you take something that is special to you and turn it into a decorative item!
very cute! I love those big frames.
What a great idea! I love it! What a great way to remember those sweet baby moments!
This is such a beautiful idea!
Those cheddar ham cups down below sound yummy!

Sandy Toes, I heart you. I'm adding you to my blog.
I love it!
That's a great idea. I'm passing it on to my daughters. Mimi
Wow you are just full of great traditions!!
I am so glad to see how this works. I love the idea! Maybe a great way to celebrate my new one in a few months! I meant to come visit yesterday but had the hardest time with Mr. Linky over at Rocks in my Dryer. I never did link up to everyone else and the whole day just kind of flew away!

I love how simple and beautiful this looks! Great job. Now I wish I had thought to put my son in something simple like that.
