Liking this possible idea...christmas gift anyone?

So I was blog surfing tonight and had to note this neat idea. Its a memory game that is homemade :)

Here are the instructions for any of you who want to give it a try.

Things you'll need:

-Bazzill chipboard squares, (2 inch)-you can find them online or at most craft stores

They come in packs of 20 and I used 2 packs-so I had 20 pairs of photos.

-20 photos-2 of each printed 2x2 inches.

-Scrapbook paper for the back-digi paper is best to print and use because you need the

backs to look exactly the same. I just cropped this polka-dot digi paper and printed

40 2x2 inch squares.

-glue stick, or some form of adhesive and Mod-Podge (what would we do without Mod-Podge!)

1. Print your photos and digi paper or cut out square for backs. I added a frame to my photos and a grunge frame to the back paper.

2. Glue both sides with adhesive.

3. Mod-Podge over the photos and back paper. I did one side of all and then let them dry for about 30 minutes or so and then mod-podged the other side.

Homemade books on tape

What a beautiful and touching idea.

The idea is to record your own "book on tape" and give it as a gift. I think you could also do book on cd's or for the really modern child - book on mp3. What a great way to encourage learning while still remaining close. Great idea for far away grandparents - or in our case an aunt and uncle who want to be a good influence on the children around them.
