Tangible Memories - When was the last time you looked??

I am fortunate to be able to do what I love to do. Providing memories for others is so gratifying. You really can't put a value on images of loved ones because it is the one thing that will carry on after the person is gone. To have tangible memories is truly priceless.

Case in point. . . my mom just turned 60. We threw her a surprise party, she was surrounded by family & friends, a great time was had by all. I was there to take pictures for her to put in a scrapbook of this momentous occasion.

I also created a collage of images from her birth up to present year, for everyone to look at & write a message. Going through all the old albums of memories was awesome. To be able to look back in time and show my children their Mema as a child really made me smile. Family history is so important, and too often overlooked.

Here's a few of what I put together for my mom:






So I encourage you to look through your old scrapbooks and albums, often - and just because. Show your children, grandchildren, and so on.
