Lightbulb Newspaper for Baby's Keepsake Box

Hi. I don't want to talk politics and I'm not trying to start any trouble or discussions about it. I just wanted to say that with this election, history has been made. I think it will be an amazing memory if later in life my daughter is able to read about how history was made the year she was born. What better way to capture this moment than to get a newspaper tomorrow and put it in her keepsake box. Just an idea that I thought was cute, so I wanted to pass it along. Again, no intentions on speaking politics. Hope no one is offended by this post, I didn't mean to if I did.

Our daughter was born during Katrina in 2005...I bought a Time special edition the year in pictures for her keepsake box. Of course it featured heavily on Katrina which was the idea. I think the entire time we were in the hospital, my tv never left CNN as we followed coverage. I think it's a great idea.

Devan-
I think that it is a great idea! I have a paper from the day she was born, the day that her birth announcement was in, and today's paper would be another great paper to add to her keepsake box! Thanks for the idea!

I think this is a wonderful idea. Our baby is not due until next year, but I will ask my friends back in the states to save this one! I will also have a Swedish paper since it's of course big news here too!

Thanks for the marvelous idea!

I just told DH this morning that we need to buy a paper. Time magazine might be a good idea too.
