On a recent trip, I was checking out at a store, and the lady behind the counter remarked about how much she liked my necklace. I told her it was made out of pottery, so she asked me if I did pottery. I told her I did scrapbooking. That’s when she told me that her sister was about to get married, and she came across an old scrapbook in her mother’s house that her mother and sister had put together when her sister was little. She had taken this scrapbook full of memories and was going to wrap it up and give it to her sister as a gift from her as the maid of honor.
That little encounter reminded me of how important a physical preservation of memories can be. We live in a time when most of our memories are digitally stored on our phones and computers. As fantastic as that technology is, it cannot be wrapped up and presented as a wedding present.
Wonderful idea Kathy
