It all started with a teacher friend showing me how she'd saved her children's clothing and had them draped decoratively on a clothes tree.
I took it a step further and put my children's clothes and a photo of them wearing it into shadow boxes.
Tiffany and Keola's baby clothes are on the right wall.
I liked the effect so much that I did the same thing with KC's baby dress. That's on the extreme left. And then JD was born so I put his pajamas in a shadow box. Ummm... my walls were then covered.
However, now JD is going to have a brother so we had to make room on the wall. We got another shadow box and it's ready and waiting to receive that baby's outfit.
I'm sorry, but I hope everybody knows we don't have room for more grandchildren. We're out of wall space.
Just kidding...

What a nice idea and such a special way to preserve the memories. Grandchildren grow up so very fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! And I laughed at the need for either more walls or fewer grands. :-)
ReplyDeletetoo sweet...how exciting, i have 7 grand children...gifts from God!
ReplyDeleteI think you have PLENTY of room on your walls :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! Kinda interesting!
ReplyDeleteHaha, wonderful collection.
ReplyDeleteYes, you could go to the floor, you know.
ReplyDeleteYes, I see many possibilities.
DeleteLOL You are so funny.
ReplyDeleteCould it be that I remember Tiffany WEARING that red dress? Wow, where have the years gone?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet project, Kay. I think the grandkids can tell that you love them. :)
What a neat idea for baby clothes. Smart move grandma.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new upcoming grandbaby
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely idea.
ReplyDeleteExciting news about your third grandchild.
All the best Jan
I know what you mean. I have five grandchildren...all grown up... and seven great grandchildren. I definitely would run out of walls.
ReplyDeleteThere's always room for more grandchildren! Just rearrange your groupings.
