Some good ideas 2


I have so many scrapbooks which help me keep all my memories at one place .I dont think scrapbooks are only meant for children its your personal choice how you decorate it.Obviously i dont carry my scrapbook everywhere.Wherever i collect Postcards ,maps and other souvenirs i put a punch hole and string them together with loose ring that helps me to collect as i go.This idea was given to me by aunt of mine who share same passsion of collecting things as she go.

Whats your favorite memory keeping method ?

ROPE COASTERS

It takes not more than few touches to give your home a special feeling.Since they are inexpensive and easy to make you can have plenty of them to put all the drinks when you will be serving .Begin by preparing a carboard worksurface .Using a compass ,trace a circle about 4 inches in diameter onto a cardboard .Carefully coil the rope ,glueing as you go and secure with a pin every 3/4 inch .At the edge of the template cut the rope .Let it dry overnight .Remove pins and coat both sides with acrylic paint.I love making them specially when i use colourful ropes.
You dont need to spend your hard earned money on something that you can make at home.
