My Treasure Boxes

It's time for spring cleaning. So when I came across some of my most treasured things (found when I was cleaning in the garage) I thought I would share them with you.

Baby clothing from my three babies:
In these boxes I have kept their adorable baby clothes, the outfits they came home from the hospital in, the cute winter baby sweaters they wore, the outfit they wore for their 1 year baby pictures, some cute baby shoes, their "baby's first Christmas" ornament, a newborn sized diaper and their birth announcement.
Baby clothing from when I was a baby:
I have three outfits (pink, yellow and blue), my blankie and a moccasin/bootie. When Natalie was a baby, I put her in the yellow dress with ruffled diaper cover. It was fun taking pictures of her wearing my baby outfit. I also still have one of my teddy bears.

Wedding Mementos:
The ring bearer's pillow my mom made from the same fabric my dress was made out of, our unity candle, my shoes, a pew bow, our wedding invitation, Dan's corsage, and the corsage that was pinned to the back of my dress.

As soon as I saw that bear I said to my self, "my that bear looks mighty familiar", then I read your blog and thought, "oh yes, the bear"

Some good memories. The kids will enjoy looking through those in years to come too.

Where's Natalie's birth announcement? Didn't see it in the memory box.

I forgot to put hers in. I have a box of extras somewhere around here and as soon as I find them I'll stick one in.

Ok. Gotta get me some!!! When does Ikea open??? What a fantastic way to store all those precious things! Right now my children's items are in a box, a bin or a shoebox. Your idea is much more appealing. :-)
I love it!
