Most people have some form of this craft: a memory box, an area where all your old school work sits, old pictures, objects, etc. My best friend Jessica had an idea to gather everything that was important to her and make a trunk to store all of these items in. After seeing hers, I decided to make one too. Here’s how to make one:

1)      Gather things that are important to you. Whether it is papers, pictures, or objects, they will all have room to put them in.

2)      Write dates on these items and a little description so that when you look at them later, you know what happened, when it happened. and why it happened.

3)      To store these memories, you will need to find something big to store them in, whether it is a trunk, a drawer in your dresser, a box, anything can work as a memory box. I use a drawer in my dresser to hold my memory box, and it works well for me.

You’re finished! Every time something amazing happens, record it in your notes and make sure to put it into your brand new Memory Box. Everything can be used as a memory for your collection. As your memories grow, you’ll need to either create new memory boxes or expand your old one. Have fun collecting!
