Thanks for posting these! What a great list!

Thanks so much for the list! It's extremely helpful... with lots of things that wouldn't have come to my mind!

Idea 53:

Write a piece of poetry to someone and devote one line to a page or spread.

I wrote a song to my new husband for our wedding day and have just finished digitally scrapping it. Each page is one line or phrase from the song, so it's over 30 pages long.

Eventually i'll be able to afford to print it (it's very expensive to print pages here in Australia) and then i'm going to add one of those voice recorders and record me singing the song.

But at least the majority of the hard work is done now.

This idea can work with poetry or lyrics for a friend, a loved one or a relative.

I'm gathering photos now to start an album which will showcase one special photo of my husband and I from each year that we have been together. One really good photo from each year for each page...we've been together for 16 years so I'll have a lot to get caught up on...I thought it would be fun to have one small album (probably 6x6 or 8x8) to see how we've changed throughout the years together.

What a great idea!!!

Growing up my mother had several family albums laying around that was really my favorite thing to scout through these albums, letters, postcards, pieces of tickets, and pressed flowers. I got to know many of my relatives through these books as many pasted long before I was born.
My real dad was one, he died when I was three. Had it not of been for my mothers love of pictures he would have surly been lost to me, but seeing these pictures kept his memory alive and seeing him hold me and me asleep on his chest, sitting on the floor playing with him and such gave me a relationship with him. I knew he loved me and all through my life though cheatout of knowing him personally or long I knew he loved me

I tell everyone I know take those pictures, create those keepsakes, and love those with you every day... for you never know when only those memories is all you will to hold onto

What is a church quiet book? Is it meant to keep kiddies quiet at church?
