Crafting Your Grandparenting Memories

Since today is Grandparents’ Day, how about considering ways to save the memories of being a grandparent or of your grandparents.  These days pass quickly so how do you preserve the memories.

• Make quilts or fabric art from fabrics and clothing that have special meaning.
  

  My mother loved green; this fabric my daughter created reminds me of one of her dresses.

• Organize your photos into albums and scrapbooks.
• Put photos on DVDs for future generations and to share with present ones.
• Make shadowboxes.
• Create collages and frame them.
• Make fabric or mixed media postcards of family memories and send to family members.
• Write the memories in a journal.
• Record the vocal memories.
• Have a family gathering to work on family memory projects, including those about grandparents.

How are you crafting your grandparenting and grandparent memories?
