Earlier today I mentioned wanting to recognize my parent’s 60th birthdays.  I’ve got a couple of years to go still…but my mind is already reeling with ideas!

How great would it be to do this project:

{60 Years of Memories}

…60 letters all containing different memories from six decades!

Check out how to do this project on Nothing But Bonfires!

Past & Present…

I’m sure you’ve heard of Dear Photograph…a site where people take a photo from the past in front of the place where it was originally shot, then take a picture of the picture, adding a their own personal story of what the photograph means to them.

I find the project to be a sweet, nostalgic way to connect our past & present.  I’ve been meaning to do my own little, “Dear Photograph” for my Mom & Dad’s 60th birthdays.

In the meantime, I saw these creative newspaper ads by the British daily national newspaper The Times, in which it captures Queen Elizabeth II’s reign through different eras:

…Truly lovely way to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee!

Have you found a way to photograph or capture memories in a special way?

Marmee: If you feel your value lies in being merely decorative, I fear that someday you might find yourself believing that’s all that you really are.  Time erodes all such beauty, but what it cannot diminish is the wonderful workings of your mind: Your humor, your kindness, and your moral courage.  These are the things I cherish so in you.  I so wish I could give my girls a more just world.  But I know you’ll make it a better place.

~Little Women (1994)
