Last year I visited my Aunt Carolyn & Uncle Ken (AC/UK) that live in Fl and I wanted to make them a gift for every day I was there. Yes, a bit overachieving but it gave me so much joy to have something waiting at the breakfast table for them every morning when they got up.The last day was my big gift - a Lunch bag album. Making the album wasn't hard, but tracking down each family member to write AC/UK a message was a bit of a task. But here is what you do:
4 white lunch bags. Fold them in half and hole punch 2 holes. Add ribbon. On each page glue coordinating paper. Now what I did was put a pic on one side and had that person write a message to AC/UK on the following page. Also there are pockets (from the bag openings) in the album where I inserted an extra page so that someone could write a favorite memory they have of AC/UK.
This ended up turning out better than I ever thought it would. And I hope it becomes a keepsake for them so that they are always reminded of how much they are loved.
