Don't forget those quotes!

You know all those times you think back on your family and remember the "Words to live by"?     You know what I mean... how grandpa Jack always says "Give em an inch"  and Aunt Jane always says "Don't forget your sunscreen!".    They say the things we love and also the things we dread hearing.  As a kid you may have even mocked one of these relatives with their funny thoughts.  


Now as an adult you can really appreciate how this makes each of our relatives unique and fun.   We will always want to remember the things they said over and over and we will want to pass on those quotes and even their knowledge to our children and our grandkids.


Why not make a page just for them.   Place a great picture or two.. personally I like the idea of a picture of from when they were a young adult and one that shows how they look now.   On your computer or even in your own handwriting print the "quotes" they are known for on pretty solids.  I like using the computer just because you can choose different fonts for each quote.  


Cut out and place the quotes around the pictures.   Depending on how many quotes you have they might take up the whole page or you can add lots of fun embellishments.  For instance if one of your quotes is "There are plenty of fish in the sea" you could embellish with little fishes and a fishing net.  


Use your imagination and record those memories!
