Welcome to my surprise event! I’m sure you were up all weekend wondering what on earth it could be..so I won’t hold it from you any longer:
This is Oh Baby week…well, technically two! I have so many fun guest posters coming up in the next two weeks as well as some really fun free downloads, ideas, “How we told we were pregnant” stories, a great giveaway, tips and tricks. favorite products…and best of all, sharing about motherhood!
So why an Oh Baby week? Well, it just so happens that I have squirt number 4 baking and brewing in my stomach right now..that’s right..I’M PREGNANT! I thought this event would be a fun way to announce and celebrate babies, so I hope you are up to sharing and connecting!:)
Before I start with today’s project..make sure you hop over to Sassy Style Interior Redesign…I am guest posting over there as well and there just happens to be a freebie there for you as well! And leave some love for Tausha..she really is so great..you will have a good time looking around her blog..and a great time reading her posts..(she is hilarious!)
Okay…I am so the type of girl that has to announce my pregnancy in a fun way…(are you surprised?):) It sometimes always drives my husband crazy..he wouldn’t mind just calling people up and telling them..but me, not so much. I am going to share a few ideas over the next two weeks on “how I told” for each of my pregnancies, with either a download or project attached to it.
I found out I was pregnant with my first baby in April of 2003. I was so excited to tell…and couldn’t even wait the usual 12 weeks to tell people. I did everything by hand then, so I came up with an idea…and twenty boxes and twenty jars of baby food later, I was telling people we were expecting!
I wrote on the top of the box “a taste of what’s to come” and put a jar of baby food in each one..and loved seeing everyone’s faces as they opened the box up. It was so fun (it’s no wonder I have kept doing it for each baby!).
Well, today I recreated that box for you…only it looks WAY cuter! Take a look:
It comes in either green, blue or orange.
The only slight adjustment I made to the box was on the lip..I cut it in just a bit..and on the little flap it goes into..don’t forget to cut a slit with an exacto knife. Feel free to cut the flap off and just tie it shut with twine or ribbon. You can put anything in there…think socks, baby food, a pacifier, etc.
So what do you think? Isn’t it the cutest thing ever?! You can find the free download HERE.
Remember, free downloads are for followers of Kiki Creates only..(Just takes a second over on the sidebar..thanks!)
