Create Special Memories

Image via Wikipedia

Every year my daughter creates a memory book for herself that is put together by each person invited to her birthday party. Last year she had two poster boards and created people using individual parts to create a person. Each of these poster boards with random faces and bodies are now hanging on her wall as a memory of her friends on her tenth birthday.


This year she made an actual magazine that each friend designed by cutting and gluing magazine pieces together. Each girl created her own page and signed it to ensure my daughters delight each time she looked through her birthday magazine.


A memory is the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts, events, impressions, etc., or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences. If our children learn to create and preserve such special figures at an early age they will indeed recognize how amazing life can be knowing they have been special to more than one or two people. 


Life is a special memory, and everything we touch, feel, and speak of can be too.
