   This is a great way to save memories and decorate your baby nursery.

3. 

   Frame calender pages:
   1. Purchase a character calender (ex. Winnie the Pooh).
   2. Purchase some frames from the dollar store.
   3. With craft paint, paint the frames different colors. ( try to match up the colors with the calender pages)
   4. Insert the pictures from the calender into the frames. ( you may have to cut them to fit).
   5. Now just hang them up!

   This is a great way to decorate your baby nursery with a theme. You could add to the theme by purchasing crib sheets or curtains with similar characters.
