Memory Keeping: Baby's Time Capsule

Martha Stewart Baby, Volume 1 Special Issue 2000

Before long, most new parents find themselves adrift in a jumble of precious trinkets: tiny shoes, well-loved toys, embroidered gowns, the lock of hair from baby's first trim. With some creativity, you can use these things to create a poetic record of the first years of life.

Check out our other memory keeping projects for Baby: Book of Firsts, Mother's Journal, Book of Good Wishes, Memory Binder, Framed Memento: Hand over Hand, Framed Memento: Shadow Boxes, Arranging Photographs.

    It would be nice if we could add some photos of our work based on Martha ideas.

    I've done something similar with my son baby memento's (a little car, stuffed animal, his first pair of socks, one-piece and hospital bracelet) I've used the same type (different sizes) of frames and decorated paper in similar colors and lined them up in a geometrical grid.
