Memory Boxes
I never know what to buy people to show my appreciation for them. I usually end up getting a gift card which is not imaginative at all but definitely safe. So, this time, I decided to make little memory boxes out of sculpey clay and mint tins. I sculpted the top and let my children make tiny objects to place inside. For one of our favorite teachers we put a tiny pencil, a yellow dress that she used to wear and gummie bears. For another box we put music notes and cupcakes. It was fun and I will probably make more of these just to blow off some creative steam.
