I’m not a really sentimental person, so when I do wish to display a memory, I want to do so in an organized yet capturing way. Shadow boxes are a wonderful way of accomplishing this.
I put these together for our wedding and our friends Lauren and Daniel…
This shadow box is filled with all our wedding cards as well as other special cards. I can open and read them anytime I want…
Another box I made was for my friend after the loss of his dog, Chance…
This shadow box is filled with memories of my grandparents and great-aunt. My great-aunt used to have this beautiful ceramic watering pot with a music box device which played “Oh what a beautiful morning”. As a Child I would listen to it over and over. Unfortunately I dropped the piece and shattered it, but i kept the musical device. In this shadow box, I cut a hole in the back and secured the music box device in it. I’m now able to listen to my favorite song anytime I wish. It’s definitely a favorite piece.
Memories don’t always have to be kept in a scrapbook or a box never to be seen. Sometimes a little creativity will keep a memory alive forever.
Until next time,
Well look at you !!!!!! So proud and a great idea.
