Memories in a Box - Family

Family is one of the most important bonds we'll ever have with one another, that's why I created this "Family" themed Memory Box for my sister a few months ago as a gift.

When you first open the box, there are four cards in pockets. Each card provides a great place to write a note of encouragement, place a photo, or when I gave it to my sister, I placed gift cards to her favorite places to go out to eat for lunch.

The black, burgandy, and white of this box is very formal and elegant. 

For my sister, it was ment to sit on her desk where she works and be a constant reminder that she is loved, and on days that seem to be rough and not going the way she'd hoped - she can open this box filled with family and lift up her spirits.

I have to say, this is probably one of my favorite Memories in a Box. :)

Memory Box Lane - Formal Tradition Memory Box Album

Tradition has many meanings for people.

According to Webster, Tradition is story or a body of beliefs relating to the past that are commonly accepted as historical though not verifiable.

As individuals and familes we adapt, create, and maintain traditions throughout our lives. While these traditions exist, they also leave lasting impressions on us, called memories.

We box up alot of things to move, store, and cherish.  Memories are no different. Along with traditions, we can box up mementos, photos, and write down memories of participating, creating, and valueing traditions.

This 4x4 memory box is perfect for storing and capturing that family tradition and sharing it in the years to come with family and freinds.

With the formal appearance of a black tie affair, this family tradition memory box album is perfect for holding those photos and mementos you hold dear.  This memory box contains twelve pages, 4- 4"x4", 4- 3.5"x3.5", and 4-3.25"x3.25"

Can you think of those family gatherings and family traditions that you could put inside one of these little boxes?

I admit, while creating this box, I thought about the weddings, receiptions, birthday parties, and more formal events that don't happen as often, but remembered more.

Formal Tradition Memory Boxes make great gifts and can be a wonderful conversation piece in any room of your house. Not to mention bridesmaid, groomsmen, and party gifts.  Sit one in the middle of a table at a prom or dinner party and marvel at your guests reaction.

You never know, you may find yourself taking the lid off and opening a lane of memories and making a new tradition of your own!
