Keepsake Tote

I have been wanting to get Lorelai and Ellaree keepsake boxes to keep some of their baby things in, like their coming home outfit from the hospital, baptism dress, and special items given to them. But all the keepsake boxes that I have found I have felt have been way to small for my liking. So I decided to make my own and I thought I would share with you. I have Ellaree's done and will start on Lorelai's soon. I looked at their lives now and went from there.

First, the lid. I went online and found stencils that I could print off onto cardstock and then painted her name after tracing.

Princess crowns all around...for a Princess Ellaree of course! Ellaree is my princess through and through. I am hoping that Lorelai is too and loves to wear dresses and do her hair all pretty just like her big sister.

That brings us to the next aspect of Ellaree's life right now...she is the best big sister a sissy could ask for. Trust me Lorelai does not lack in the hugs and kisses section of her life. I think sometimes she is a little concerned with her little bubble being invaded. Becoming a big sissy this year was huge and thought it was important to express that.

Besides being a Princess she is Momma's Little Lady. Even if Harry or I say mom or mommy Ellaree replies with Momma. I think it is sweet and very old fashion but I love it.

And the last two aspects of Ellaree's life right now as a Princess is her favorite song to sing and dance to is Jesus Loves Me and I hope that she continues to love this song and live by it.

Also, Coffee -N- Cream! What Little Lady Princess could go wrong as long as she has her coffee

-n- cream in the mornings. This is the first thing she asks for in the mornings and the last thing she asks for before bed. This girl loves her coffee -n- cream...a girl after my own heart.

I hope you all enjoyed seeing Ellaree's Keepsake Tote that I made for her. I hope someday she appreciates all the hard work and time I put into this but just knowing that I did this for her and her keepsakes are safe is all I really need.
