DIY Baby Shower Gift

Cameron calls me a stage 1 hoarder. I don't see it as hoarding at all, I see it as saving something you're going to use later! And I don't do it with everything, mainly gift bags, furniture I can re-do and decorations. :)

When it was time to think of a present for Alyssa & Chris's Baby-Q, I didn't want to just purchase something off of their registry. That would be too easy and I like to put some thought into presents. (As a side note, while I was tackling this project, Cameron told me that I was a thoughtful gift-giver, which made me smile. :) ) For some reason, this little wooden Lipton carrier, that I received as part of a review, popped into my mind! I thought it would be fun to paint in and then fill it with goodies!

Owen's (the baby) nursery is safari themed so I painted zebra print on both of the ends...(I just Googled "zebra print" and based the painting off of a picture.)

 And giraffe print on the front and back! I'm not a big fan of how his name turned out, but whatev...(I left the other side blank just incase she wasn't a big fan of how his name turned out either.)

 I filled the carrier with Orajel teething gel, Desitin diaper rash ointment, Johnson's bedtime bath wash, Johnson's safety swabs, Johnson's lotion, and Boogie Wipes.

 Alyssa sent me a picture that night of the carrier already set up in the nursery! I'm so glad she liked it! :)
