Here is a creative project for those long winter months. The text book, Altered Board Book Basics & Beyond will teach you all you need to know to create your own memory book using one of the blank board books available from CT Publishing. There is also a color tool for paper crafters. This tool contains pages of similar colors that you can mix or match. You will need to purchase the papers, and stickers at your local craft store.

This would make an idea family memory project. Perhaps you could use New Year’s afternoon to put together a memory book of Christmas 2005? You and your children will no doubt have plenty of additional ideas!

Perhaps they could create a surprise book for their grandparents or other close relative?

May I suggest you purchase the how to book, the color tool, some supplies, and one blank board book for each of your children? Perhaps they could create their own books to present to grandparents for a birthday surprise?
