Shower gift question

[ffindis]

Dear Ladies,
I have a baby shower this weekend that I will be unable to attend. The mom is going to have twins, a boy and a girl. She does not currently scrapbook....but I know she will want to after the babies are born.....and she can exhale (might take a while). I made her a 7X7 generic springtime/summer album. It is the Mother's Day Album that Creative Memories does with the Sun and Fun Sticker pack and borderline rulers. I'm going to write a note that I will help her put her pictures in the album. I will add page protectors. My question is what else should I include with the gift? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Lisa

what a great gift!
I bet she will be thrilled with it!

maybe you could get picture frames too -
buy 5X7 and make 'Matts' with your scrap supplies
one in gril theme and one in blue

Does sound like she will have her hands full with no scraptime

How about some adhesive? How about a list of things to take pictures of? I didn't scrapbook when my kids were born and I wish I'd taken close-ups of their feet, face, and with their fingers around my dh's or my finger.
How about a homemade coupon for some help with the babies?

What a wonderful gift - a gift from the heart! Does your friend have a camera? Maybe some "good" film - we like the Kodak Portra film. If no camera, maybe a disposable camera or two.

The corner rounder is one of my favorite things. It makes everything look profefssional with little effort (a mom with twins may approciate this.) Also if, heaven forbid, she turns out to be one of those people who don't like to cut their photos, the corner-rounding process is usually acceptable.

Never thought of a pre-decorated book as a gift (just books with snap packs). Great idea!

I agree a few more scrapbook accessories may help . Especially more tape, additional pages, page protectors and the corner rounder or the baby sticker packs/die cuts.
