hey, y'all! i was wondering if anyone else would be interested in holding a little baby shower for Shania while we are in Timmins and/or during the party in the Shania Twain Suite?? then afterwards.. we could make a scrapbook of the whole Timmins adventure and shower and send it and all the presents we acquire to Shania..i'm sure someoone in Timmins would either send them for us(someone probably has a better idea where to send them) or give us an idea of where to send them to. what do y;all think????

I think it's a very thoughtful idea but I believe the chances of getting any "baby gifts" to Shania is about zilch! I think a better idea might be to convey our joy thru giving a donation to celebrate the baby to 2nd Harvest etc. They generally notify Shania of the gift I believe. We can celebrate the event while in Timmins none the less. Can't think of a better reason to party! DOC

Doc, I suggested the same thing last week: http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/Forum1/HTML/001004.html

I agree a donation is a good idea. I would suggest though that the money go to something Pediatric related. There's pediatric aides of course but what about SIDS Research. I know it is something a mother always has in the back of their mind when she puts her newborn down to sleep. Maybe the Almighty Webmasters could decide on Three to five organizations and put it up for a vote on the site?

i personally think that Shania would have a very good chance of getting them. the people at the Center know how to get ahold of her and they could talk to her and send them to her. it just seems like everytime i have an idea or say something might be fun or cool to do, i get shot down and it really hurts my feelings. i am a member of this club, too and i ma going to Timmins,m too. i have just as much right to have ideas as anyone else. just b/cuz i haven't been posting on this message board very long doesn't mean that i'm not a true Shania fan. i have been since What Made You Say That came out on radio and i have posted why Shania means so much to me.

Please don't interpert my response to your post as an effort to "shoot it down". As I said in the beginning of my post I think it is a very thoughtful idea-I for one would just love to give something( baby gifts) as a group to Shania directly to show her how pleased and happy we are. If that could be arranged thru the folks at the center I'm all for it. One thing I've noticed around these parts is that at times you have to be a little thick skinned and not assume a post is meant negatively. I promise you my suggestion was based on history and not any disrespect for your idea. I think it's a great idea if it can be done. DOC

Nia,
we respect eveyone's idea on the board..I have to second DOC's position on this one, because although we mean good, it might sound a bit invading to do this type of Baby Shower..I think, in my opinion, Shania would be happier if we donated the money we would spend on the baby shower gifts to charities that take care of children..That woudl make her feel better... http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/smile.gif

I totally understand Nia's desire to purchase something precious for the baby we're all so thrilled about, and imagine the newest Lange wearing or using something we purchase. On the other hand, Shania is so well known for her love and for disadvantaged or ill children. Think of the joy she'd feel knowing that a child would receive some sort of assistance from her fans in honor of her child. You never know, that gift could help save a life.

I truly believed that she would be touched either way we go, but I like the idea of one gift touching SEVERAL lives... indeed, including our Shania.

Somebody PLEASE remind me to proofread beFORE I send these things. Sigh.... Anyway... I STILL think a shower's a GREAT idea, regardless of whether there are tangible gifts or not. You could still decorate in pinks and blues. You could still have a cake, etc. And even play the silly shower games. HA! Have baby naming contests. Pools re: delivery date, sex of child, etc.

Me? I have a feeling it's going to be a beautiful boy! She grew up all tomboy and she's so independent, mucks out stables, etc. I picture her being a mama to a boy. http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/wink.gif

The only outfit we should get the baby is a top that says either "Mom's #1 Fan" or "Shania's #1 Fan" LOL http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/smile.gif

I think a donation to a pediatric foundation in the baby's name would be a great idea!!!

thank you all for the reassurance. the reason i wanted to have a shower for Shania and make a scrapbook and get gifts and everything is b/cuz i feel so close to her, like she is a close, close friend. i suppose that this is attributed to how much her inspiring story and her music have inspired me and helped me through so much. i have been sick since the age of 11 and Shania is the one that taught me that anything can be overcome and that you can still beat things. i also feel a little left out.. i really want to help with planning but, it seems that everytime i say i will help with something, or have an idea, i either get no answer or people tell me that it won't work. i can only do limited things b/cuz of the fact that i am sick and can only do so much. but, i sing..is there anything going on with music or singing?? maybe a little Shania tribute concert, i also could arrange a shower, and i have offered to help get the suite ready. i just thoughtthat you guys should know why i felt like i did. thanks again!!

If it's a boy, I'm lost as to what would be cute, but if it's a girl, we could get her a little Leopard sleeper set complete with a hood! http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/tongue.gif

To be serious though, you all have made some good suggestions & comments. Whatever we end up doing, I am all for it as long as we don't invade Shania & Mutt's privacy. http://www.shania-twain.org/messages/smile.gif
