Congrats on your new baby! The JoAnn's in my city is so small. Each time I've went there they didn't have what I needed :(. I also love Hobby Lobby!

Cute guide, I'm did something similar with onsies for a baby I'm expecting in a week. :) For the coupon, download the free Michael's app. Personally, I prefer Jo Ann's because they seem to have a wider selection for a better price.
