Welcome to this week's issue -- Fit to Print! In the rush of our hectic lives as new mommies, we very often put aside plans and projects that we would truly like to accomplish: making contact with another mom in a play group, printing photographs and making a beautiful baby album, or perhaps framing a very special photo or even designing your baby's birth announcements. All of the merchants and services featured this week offer beautiful solutions for some of these... I wish I had projects!

You've gone to the park, a play group or to your child's preschool and met another mom you'd like to connect with. You look down at your beautiful little one who has just spit up all over himself, the car seat and your designer diaper bag. You are off and running! If you had a handful of beautiful, Personal Calling Cards from www.felixdoolittle.com in said diaper bag, you would have proudly handed the potential new mommy friend all your contact information and been off in a flash. She on the other hand would still be standing there mesmerized by what a style maven you must be for having such luxurious taste!

If you are like me, you've taken several thousand photos of your baby before they've turned two and they are all neatly stored on your computer's hard drive. All best laid plans to begin creating that one of a kind baby scrapbook have been overshadowed by life's many other necessities. Get ready to say -- where have you been all my life??? Meet www.howfasttheygrow.com who offers up designer scrapbook pages in stylized templates for you to customize with your baby's photos and text of your choice. These wonderful pages fit into any 12x12 scrapbooks with top or side-loading sleeves. This is an incredible way to preserve, display and treasure all those wonderful photos you've taken over baby's first years!

Some photos belong in scrapbooks and baby albums. Others deserve a special place of honor on your walls! For a beautiful and unique way to showcase these photographs, let www.canvasondemand.com transform that incredible photo you've taken into a work of art in sizes ranging from 8x10 to 40x60 inches! Each image is printed on canvas, wrapped on a wood frame and comes ready for you to hang on your wall. It's that simple and that awesome! This is the perfect gift idea for grandparents or family members who have everything else one can imagine.

It's time to send out your baby's birth announcements! You've been to several stationery stores and flipped through countless sample books only to walk away feeling even more overwhelmed than ever as to what to pick. You want yours to be unique and memorable... you may have already imagined what the perfect announcement should look like. You need to visit www.printedstar.com. Offering custom photograph birth announcements and note cards, you are sure to either find something you'll love or have them help you design it!

We hope you've enjoyed this issue of The Baby Times and look forward to bringing you our next issue -- Happy Halloween! Because you can never order your baby's costume too soon!
