I found this one for a dollar at Goodwill last week. It's pretty small (probably 4 x 6) and I wandered around the house for a good hour trying to decide what to put in it. I could only find seashells that fit, and I really prefer them to hold something a bit more "precious".I kept wishing I had something of my grandparent's that was screaming to go in there, but nada.
And then I remembered that just last week Jack had drawn the cutest family portrait and it was currently languishing away on the fridge amongst a million other drawings.I had him add a drawing of our new house to the pile of drawings.
Then after he went to bed I copied them onto cardstock, cut them out so they had little stands on the bottom and glued them into the shadow box with some dollhouse flowerpots I picked up awhile back.Add a piece of grass scrapbook paper to the back and voila!
Something precious indeed, our family and our house in a little shadow box. A moment captured perfectly in time.
Wonderful idea. It's just perfect. I'm might just to borrow that idea in the future. Happy Sunday!
