Hi everyone. Hope your weekend is going swell. I did some creating today but when I got home I made a quick gift for my next door neighbor, Betty. She is the sweetest lady. I wanted to create something nice for her as a thank you and I remembered her saying that she was writing down the memories of her life for her children because she is older and wanted them to have a keepsake when she was gone. So, I decided to decorate a 6x8 book that has LOTS of white pages inside just waiting for her to write down her stories.
I started with this....
added some strips of Scenic Route paper....
leaving a space for a "memories" definition sticker....
and that wire at the top was just begging for some ribbon to complete it!....
It was a very easy project to do...only took me about ten minutes and I smile when I think it will be filled with memories that might not have been shared otherwise. It was a reminder that scrapbooking comes in very different forms, sometimes without pictures, but it is the memories that are so very important.
Okay, gotta go pick up Alex from Homecoming. Here is a pic of him and his date (Ashley) from earlier tonight.....
Aren't they cute? :)
Be back soon with some more creative stuff! Thanks for stopping by!
