"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities."

~Elder Holland, Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Choosing a Baby Blessing Dress

I've been looking online at baby blessing dresses and they are beautiful and outrageously priced. Here are two links to dresses I really like. They are similar in style but very different in price. What do you guys think? Sadly, we really can't afford either one, but now at least I know what kind I like. I'll keep looking. Does anyone know someone who sews well?

These dresses are nice and handmade and some of the cheapest I've found. The one I like the best is the "Samantha dress". It is the last one on the page.

These dresses are VERY fancy and expensive, but I love this gorgeous lace one! The bonnet is so beautiful. (Joe thought the baby was a mannequin, but I'm pretty sure it's a real baby...)

My mom and I made Jane's. Mom made the under portion and I did the embellishing on top, all the sewing on of the lace and all that cuty stuff. You have a very classic style in both dresses and names. Those dresses weren't too badly priced, considering how expensive lace can get. Good luck and post LOTS of pictures!!!
