an unusual baby shower gift

i love being invited to showers. it gives me a chance to go hunting for a new project i've never tried before. i pretty much always make something new and personalized for the guest-of-honor and probably a handmade card to go with it. have i mentioned that i'm in love with the process and product of wrapping a gift too? unfortunately, i usually am too last minute to put as much time on that as i'd like to. anyway, when i went hunting for my latest inspiration i found this idea. it was for a organization system/file/box to hold all of the future baby's paper stuff. i was all "hey ricky why don't we have one of those!" and he was all "uhh we do. its called a filing cabinet"...."oh". still, i thought this was a great idea and something unique to give amongst the cute baby onesies and typical registry items at a shower. PLUS the women labeled it "the best baby shower gift ever!" i mean who could top that?

my biggest regret is that you can't see the chevron pattern in the picture right now...
so here is my file i made ^
i got the file box itself from target mainly for the blank canvas effect and the pretty chevron design on the inside. (chevron- so hot right now) the future mom's nursery theme is all about the birdies so i went with it. i drew with a white paint pen that conviently came in a pack of 2 from michaels. seriously, those pens don't last long. i drew multiple frames around the box with the idea that she would stick pictures of her adorable children in there too.

this one is super fancy compared to the rest- i wish i had a brighter color to do this celtic not thing with. but i tried to lighten it up with the pearls.
as for the second half of the gift i decided to try my hand at headbands. i'm amazed i haven't done this before now since i can not get over how cute emily looks with them on. also- i recently discovered that my soft headbands from walmart are the perfect fit for her too right now. not too tight and super comfy. so i bought a couple packs and went to work with the sewing machine, my handy gun gun, and my random assortment of felts and fabrics. here are the results of that venture
i think my favorite is the yellow flower. true confession: i almost didn't give ALL of them to her. it was tempting...
