Congrats on your first Lil!

If you have a Michaels craft store, or even WalMart by you, they sell wooden cut out letters that you can paint, and then hang on the wall. My 2 best friends/sisters made ones for their room in the house, one painted hers green with white polka dots, the other's is white with green dots. They both have KD's above their bed. You could do it to match the decor of her room also, or also just get her first initial. One of the same girls bought a little rack with pegs on it to hang on the wall, it could be used for hats, purses, etc. It's wooden, and she painted it white, then took the wooden cut out letters and glued them to the top of the rack. She used AOT instead of KD because there were 3 pegs and it lined up just right, and painted the letters green with white polka dots.

This sister is really crafty, and I'm lucky enough to have her as MY little, so I get cute gifts every now and again. She made her little this past year 3 picture frames. They were wooden 5x7 frames that she got at the craft store. She painted them one color, then took little wooden cutouts like cowboy boots, a sheriffs badge and a lasso, and painted them and glued them onto the edges of the frame, then wrote "KD Hayride" on it, which is one of our biggest functions. She also made one that was a beach theme, and then made one with moons and stars for Formal. You don't have to paint them in fine detail, she added a little bit of detailing with a fine paint pen or permanent marker.

Do you have a Build A Bear by you? That is always a very popular gift in our chapter. You can dress the bear up to match your little's special interests, like if she plays IM sports or something, or you could just go with a little t-shirt and puffy paint KD on it!

You could also buy a candy jar of some sort, and buy stickers to decorate it with, including alphabet ones so you can spell out "KD" "Love, YBS" "I love MLS" "AOT" etc. One of my sisters made a really cute one with Suzy's Zoo stickers, and Suzy Spofford is a KD! Hope this helps you out!

KD Love,
Shae
