How have you used crafting to take a sentimental journey?
How do you do this?

- Make a quilt or mixed media art with fabrics from a relative or ancestor.
- Create shadow boxes with memorabilia.
- Stitch fabric art from a relative’s neckties.
- Display memorabilia in a glass enclosed cabinet.
- Make scrapbooks
- Write journals
- Incorporate memorabilia and photos into collages and altered books.
- Frame quilt blocks that a family member started but didn’t get around to putting into a quilt.
What have you done with memorabilia that will save your heritage and take family members on sentimental journeys?
In future posts, I’ll describe some of the “sentimental journeys” I’m taking with family memorabilia.
We made coasters from old family photos and Cds. I still smile when I see mine–happy memories!

Anitra, thank you for stopping by and sharing your “sentimental journey” project with us. I visited your blog and was fascinated by the photo CD coasters you made. It’s something children and adults can do…individually or as a family project.
