Completed memory book (very picture heavy)

I filled up my whole memory book that I had bound for myself earlier int he year! It features many items that I received from my friends here on LC :heart:

I like saving the stamps and cute return address stickers I get :heart: I’ve been careful to cover over the addresses for the pictures.
The little cow and race car are my son’s creations.

I met a couple of online friends in real life during my 2018-209 RV adventure with my family. One of them I still keep in touch with regularly, both via video call and “snail mail.” I sent her a letter with several stamps from the collection I have acquired thanks to @Cindy. So the next time this friend sent me a letter, she sent it with all these awesome stamps, because she figures I like them. She was right :heart: And I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment on this card, from one of our LC members :heart:

I saved all these little notes that my husband wrote me, and reused an envelope from an ATC swap to put them into my memory book :love_letter: The picture is of my husband in a field of sunflowers, from a day he surprised me by taking the family there :heart: :sunflower:

When my laptop finally gave up the ghost, I didn’t want to get rid of all the stickers I had collected on it… Enter memory book sticker page!

I just love all the little decorations people put on their envelopes, so I don’t want to recycle them. I sved them on this page instead. The little whale sticker is from my local library.

More lovely cards from LC members :heart: I can either open them or take them out to read them all over again whenever I want, but I won’t show the messages here :heart:.

I save my ATCs in a binder, but I like to collect the little notes and cards that come with them in this memory book.

I believe this collage card is by @TruGritty; someone correct me if I’m wrong :slight_smile:

More happy mail from @Bluebird. We miss you. :heart:

This particular card was so gorgeous on every surface, including the back. So instead of gluing it down, I cut up a ziplock bag to fit the page, and inserted the card inside. That way I can take it out to admire whenever I want :heart: Thanks @MamaRhi for such a beautiful card that brought a smile during a really difficult time. Thanks to everyone who supported me this summer/fall :heart:

Thanks for looking :slight_smile:

I made the current memory book with a lot more pages lol

*If you see one of your creations here and I forgot to tag you, please tag yourself :heart:

The post about the new handbound junk journal/memory book (and how I’ve filled it so far) is now up :slight_smile:

What a great idea! So many people send more than just mail and even after I have covered so many things with stickers, it would be nice to save favorite ones in a way that I can see them again and again!

I love your book…it is thoughtful and includes family and friends!
