I went to a neighborhood baby shower today for two moms who are both expecting around the same time. I decided to make two different altered clippies (this is one of them)with a pocket for storing important papers and a notepad for jotting down important milestones or for a shopping list. Then I tucked a gift card in the pockets. ....Unfortunately neither of the moms really "got" the handmade gift thing and kinda just stuck them back in the bags rather unceremoniously. Oh well, my SCS sisters get me.

I think it's beautiful, and I would have loved a handmade gift like this when I was expecting. So sweet! They will realize how handy it is and that you took the time to make something special for them.

those are beautiful clipboards! I would have loved that....and I am way past the baby stage! lol! I wonder if they even realized there were gift cards tucked in the pockets? So sorry they did not seem to appreciate your lovingly handcrafted works of art!
