This year I decided to do one larger photo. This is how I did it. . . . .
Last post I talked about handmade gifts, which are great for anytime of year not just Christmas. However I did make a quick and easy but always appreciated by the grandparents in our family photo gift. Last year it was photo cubes (see here http://urbannest.weebly.com/urbannest/photo-gift-it) This year I decided to do one larger photo. This is how I did it. . . . . This was such an easy project to do but for me it had big pay off. Who doesn't love a photo of their family. Well.... maybe some of you may not! Maybe a photo of your pet or say Johnny Depp? Get out there snap a great picture and make this for someone or yourself. . . . . . .

It all started because I wanted to give the grandparents in our family something different. I try to give something meaningful, something creative usually with a family connection. I saw some beautiful leather journals and thought how they could be used for our family. Fill them with our history, the answers to questions we always wanted to know. When ever we have get- togethers the stories come out and we share them around the table. So I grabbed some supplies and set to work. Finally I printed off a list of questions to be answered and bought wooden pencils and tied them altogether ready to be given and filled out by the family. We decided next Christmas we would share the answers to all the questions. Keeping our history alive. . . . What would you use yours for if you made one too? Here are some other journals I found. Maybe one of these ideas could be for you . . . . . New Year, New Projects. Stay tuned to see what this year has in store. |
