Baby Crafts and Keepsakes

Get creative with baby crafts
and remember every moment with DIY baby keepsakes

No mother can help herself but to immortalize every little moment and milestone in her baby's life. That first smile, their first teeth, and those very first steps. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

I know, I am a mom too. A new mother, at that. My camera's shutter button is but a step away from being permanently attached to my finger! I also happen to be addicted to chronicling every little moment in a scrapbook or memory book. Of course I do not stop there either. I have created baby calendars, baby journals, Baby's first year journals... Should I go on? I have created personalized greetings cards, photo cards, even photo thank you cards.

We all want to find ways to freeze those special moments in time, and to also share them with the ones we love. And a few random strangers from time to time... LOL

Here are a few easy and creative ways to keep those memories alive...
