Re: Memory Boxes For Kids

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone:

Averi gave me the idea to put together a memory box for each of my children.

I was on google doing a search for archival quality (acid-free) boxes and

the ones I found are too thin. They are about 3 inches thick. Here, for

example, is one site with memory boxes:

_http://www.lifesmoments.biz/store/_ (http://www.lifesmoments.biz/store/) .

Has anyone done this with acid free, archival quality products? I don't

want to use any old box and have the contents ruined in 20 years. I would love

any suggestions you may have.

Thanks

I never thought about the quality of the boxes for lasting. Thanks

for the info. I am just using the plastic storage bins. After I was

first diagnosed (2yrs ago), I started a journal for each of my

girls. Then when they found my second cancer I started other

projects to add to the memory boxes. I have crocheted baby sweaters

and blankets for my future (hopefully, very far in the future!)

grandchildren. I have recently started scrapbooks that include

family pictures plus the recipes the girls like me to make and the

cookies we bake together each Christmas. I am not good at the

scrapbook thingy but am doing the best I can. Thanks for the links.
