Hellllp!!! Need adoption ideas!

Jan 06, 2010 4 Replies

DS asked me to make his teacher (3rd grade) a clipboard for Christmas. I usually do those for the end of year gift, but he changed it. I was then asking myself "Now what will I do for the end of year gift??" But that's been solved as of yesterday.



His teacher & her hubby adopted a baby over Christmas break. I would love to make her a 6 x 6 (maybe 8 x 8, something smallish that she can keep in the classroom to share with her students) scrapbook about the joyous occasion. But I need ideas for some page topics. I know very little details right now, and because this is such a public forum, in order to protect the teacher's privacy I don't want to share too much. But what I will share that it's a baby girl.



It's been a year or more, but at one point in time, I was seeing adoption themed paper, stickers, etc, in the LSS here. Hoping I can find some now!! They'll get out of school the beginning of June, so I thankfully have some time.


What about an ABC album. They are very cute, easy to make and the first page can be A is for Adoption.

I like that idea, Lynne. So far I have:

A-adoption B-bath time, blanket, or bassinet C-coo, or crib??? (not sure I really like either one) D-Daddy E-eating F-Family G-grandparents H-hands I-irresistable?? (another one I'm not sure about) J- K- L-laugh, or love M-Mommy N-napping O- P-pacifier, Princess (add the baby's name), or playing Q-quiet time R-reading S-special time, special people, or special things (to my knowledge, this is their first child) T-tiny toes U- V-very special baby (another one I'm not sure I really like) W- X-(I refuse to use "Xmas") Y- Z-

Anyone have any ideas to add? Since they got her Christmas Day, I'm going to try to use Christmas colors.

Added a few I could think of

Cousins, Cuddle time

Haircut

I love you, itty bitty

Jammies, Jack O Lantern

Kisses

One Year Old

Rub a dub dub

1st tooth

Ultrasound, Unbelievable, Unique

Visitors, 1st Vacation, vacination

1st words

What I use for this page is eXpensive and I use money paper and a fun little write up with acturate facts about how much it costs to raise a child.

> Y- "You Light Up My Life", Yuck (foods baby doesn't like) those photos are so funny.

I leave this page for the zodiac sign. Not that I really believe in it, but I find it fun and colorful. Could use Zzzzzzzz for those sleeping photos
