Something So Beautiful !

Angie, i have a memorie box for goodies like cards & letters i get from friends that i keep in my special place, i look at those things when i feel kinda down, or out of sorts, it always manages to make me smile.
My other memorie box is in my mind/heart, full of experiences, and memories that i will never ever erase. Its funny how ive always used these since childhood, i sometimes talk with my brother about our childhood, and bring up topics which he can not remember, he tells me i have a good memorie, well i dont! But there are things that one never wants to forget.

That's awesome Mandy. I made one in high school the same way only I put concert tickets and other special "things" in there as well. I actually have one of my little sister's first outfits she ever had in there...and it is SO tiny! I love that box and I wouldn't sell it for a million bucks!

My husband & son know to stay away from my box, if they touch it, they get a ticket, and i slap their fingers. That is MY box with all my cherished moments and you right, no money in the world can replace that!

Sheryl, so wonderful that you had that moment to treasure. They can really surprise us sometimes and it usually happens in the most common of places or unexpected of times. It's just a moment and means so much. Wow. You are truly blessed.

Do you ever show them anything from there? Do you have just one or do you have several for different stages in your life?

Oh, and another thing I love are friendship journals! You pass them to friends and you take turns writing in them. You can add anything you want and they turn into such great memories! I still have several from high school and they always make me laugh and reminisce on all of the great times my friends and I had.

That is so great Mandy!! I have what they call a hope chest that I keep stuff like that in. I wonder if a hope chest is the same as a memory box? LOL -

I have this big book - I am not sure what one would call it, possibly a scrap book I guess. Anyway, it contains notes on napkins, letters on paper, movie tickets, and other memorabilia that my hubby gave when we were dating and first married. Honestly, i don't think I've added to it in sooo many years. Not good. We haven't written a love letter to each other in years and years and years. The closest we get to that now are greeting cards. Funny how all that changes.
