Giving Memories
Giving memories is probably one of the easiest and most memorable gifts you will ever give. I remember one year I found all of these family pictures of my husband and his brothers. My first thought was to take the handful of photos and show them to everyone. Luckily I quickly had another, better idea. Christmas was near and these old photos would make a great gift.
A trip to the craft store and I had matching frames, decorative paper for the background, rub off transfers of words like: Family, Brother, Sibling and Friend. Most importantly I found photo safe, acid free, sticker squares to put it all together with.
I laid out all the background papers and began the hard task of deciding who got what photos, what transfer words I wanted to use and just were to put what photo. When I finally like what I saw I took a picture of it with my digital camera. This way when I took everything off to begin the layering I knew just what when where.
Finally the big day arrived. Each brother got their own special wrapped gift and opened it. The there was silence. For a second I was afraid this had been a big mistake. Could it be men didn’t feel the same nostalgia when it came to old childhood photos?
The answer: No!
Quickly the quiet turned into a roar as everyone tired to look at each
