This program provides suggestions for children’s books new and old that make great read-togethers; how to use blogging sites to journal and or self-publish your own kids’ stories and artwork; and how to create a collection of books that help you preserve and pass on your stories. We will also show you how to frame military medals, family heirlooms, and unique vacation memories using conservation materials.
