Congratulations Tanya..well I have a few ideas..My daughter is expecting her first child in a couple of months...I am working on a book for my other daughters 30th birthday then I start on a baby scrapbook for the daughter who is expecting.. First a copy of the pregnancy test...then I took a picture of her early in her pregnancy..She had a ultra sound taken and I scanned that picture.. Just this weekend I took some more pictures of her .. ( I am fortunate to have a Digital Camera )I took three of her and made a collage , and we put that in a matted picture frame .. it turned out great and she gave it to her husband that night. The first two pictures were of her touching her tummy in a very loving way..the last one is with her shirt UP..and all her real tummy showing..she has her hands under her tummy like she is rocking the baby ..very personal yet very beautiful expression of her love for her child even before she arrives..I will of course take pictures of her shower..and the birth ..and go from there..the nice thing is that she is very creative herself and she will keep it up after I get so far. I am so happy to do this...It is so much fun..now remember to KEEP all things attached to the birth and from then on.. Like the Birth Announcement and the things from the hospital and you just build from there..Good Luck...And Blessings To You ...

I just had a baby shower for my daughter. We passed around ribbon and each guest cut one as long as they thought they needed to go around my daughter's tummy. Was fun to actually measure them and we saved the pieces of ribbon that they cut. Each person signed their piece of ribbon too and we saved them for her babybook! I made some premade scrapbooking pages that would include pieces of advice from each person attending. When I sent out the invites, I included the small cards for them to think of something to write to the baby or my daughter...advice for them! Something that my daughter and her daughter can look over whenever they want. A great way to include the guests/friends into her baby scrapbook! I bought some "babies" made out of blankets and sleepers on Ebay and they were adorable. The theme was Sugar and Spice, everything nice.....and it was worked into the menu.....lots of sweet(small cakes, molded mints, etc) and even some spicey appetizers! And almost everything was PINK! Just was fun! And of course...........LOTS of pictures! Just a wonderful memory made.......and expressions of support for my daughter! I hope you had fun.......and that YOU had time to enjoy it all!

I would just say "yes, that WAS a real, one-of-a-kind gift! I'm so glad you liked it." And I would make sure that the person that assisted with the first one said the exact same thing. I get very annoyed when people start requesting certain things instead of just taking what they get and liking it. So rude.

Oh- I forgot- I don't want to spend 40 or 50 dollars on a bottle of archival mist, either. I want to be as cost effective as possible. Thanks again! -Sarah

no youre not wrong but you have to realize that a scrapbook page is protected by an acid free page protector also and is not left out where sun and ultraviolet lights can get to it every day either, like mats in a frame would be
