I'm a Wish fanatic. (Wish is shopping app for those who don't know.) Everything is so cheap, if you're willing to wait a month or two for it to ship from China. I'll admit the clothes are not always as pictured, but they aren't too bad. And everything else I've received was pretty good quality, especially for the small prices I paid. Recently, I bought this charming brown notebook! I call it our "Adventure Book".
The notebook is a small leather book that you close with a faux leather cord and it has the cutest brown pages inside. One of my favorite things about it is that it works like a binder. I can rearrange the pages if I mess up the order of things; I am mistake-prone so the rings are going to be my saving grace on more than one occasion.
For sentimental reasons, I keep ticket stubs, small tokens, stickers, business cards, room keys, pictures, etc. of the places we've been and the places we've taken the kids. I like to keep little memorabilia. I spent the afternoon arranging, glueing/taping, and captioning all our little adventures. And it looks so neat in one little book! (It would look better if my handwriting was better and my pens didn't suck, but oh, well.) As the book fills up, it will just look more impressive.
My family thought the book looked so neat and fun; they found it "interesting". The boys proved how sharp their memories were, and joined me on a quick stroll down memory lane. I didn't do this project as a kid craft/activity, but it was still one the kids and I ended up enjoying together. If it really matters, you can always hand the children a glue stick and let them help...But, if you are like me and enjoy creative outlets, it's definitely worth doing alone!
