Front cover of "School Years," a keepsake book that covered my progression from kindergarten to 12th grade, 1982-1995, containing pictures, report cards, school projects, etc.
on my bed...I have had this cat for almost 28 years. My mom made if for me and we have pictures of me with it when I was one yr old. I think it used to have a dress that is long gone now...I'm just impressed that both eyes are still intact.
My great uncle received this box while serving overseas during WW1.
Decorative brass tin sent by Princess Mary to members of the British, Colonial and Indian Armed Forces for Christmas 1914. Over 426,000 of these tins were distributed to those serving on Christmas Day 1914. The tins were filled with various items including tobacco, confectionary, spices, pencils, a Christmas card and a picture of the princess.
The idea was the initiative of Princess Mary, the 17-year-old daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. Princess Mary organised a public appeal which raised the funds to ensure that 'every Sailor afloat and every Soldier at the front' received a Christmas present.
Due to the strong public support for the gift, which saw £162,591 12s 5d raised, the eligibility for the gift was widened to include every person 'wearing the King's uniform on Christmas Day 1914', about 2,620,019 servicemen and women.
This MOC uses two copies of the small 40266 Mini Keepsake Box set. I built it for the Friends Bricks "Keepsake Box" Building Challenge.
Found this keepsake box at Daiso for $2. It's covered with a diamond patterned paper. The embossing is subtle enough to accept quilling pieces easily.

"I can't get used to living here
While my heart is broke, my tears I cry for you..."*
As the sun streams through the window on the day after Bastille Day, Wyn is surrounded by shadows and light, a juxtaposition that reflects her mood. Her family thinks of Wyn as their little angel because of her positive and hopeful attitude. Yet, after the latest of what seems like a steady outburst of national and international tragedies, even an angel can feel dejected.
Wyn contemplates a medal that she has come across from St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and contemplates the words engraved on it: "Guardian angel, protect me."
These words play over and over in her mind as images haunt her:
The man sitting on the ground next to the covered body of a child...*
The babydoll laying next to the covered body of the child who loved it...*
The drawing of the babydoll crying as she touches the lifeless hand of the child who had treasured her companionship...**

at the end of the each school year my son's class was given a little elephant from their teacher Renata. I think she was the best teacher he had in a primary school.a
P.S. using my new bird feeder/candleholder in the background :)
Jordan may look solemn but she's very happy to wear her new dress and to have these other wonderful Halloween items sent by Elise/liveloveyarn.
* Unfortunately, my IPad is photographing things in a very fuzzy way today and I can't get it to improve much.

In history we brought items that told about our own histories and what is significant to us. We had our own personal history museum.
