Right, so the A header was "Albums, Scrapbooks, and Memory Boxes," and we chose Memory Box to document our friiiiiendshiiiiip! Aww.
We found the box itself at Meijer for about $4.00, and the rest was just household supplies. Only creativity and a box required. Also lots of assembly. And glue. Peely, peely glue.
The curtain dealies came from part of a butterfly canopy I had for my bed when I was twelve or so. We bound them with some ribbon we found lying about, and we glued them to the top with some Mod Podge, but any glue would probably have done the trick.
The birthday hat on the top was a gift I got for my fifteenth birthday, which was a joint birthday with Kaelin, who got a tiara, which snapped at some point. There's a bendy lime green pipe cleaner on top, which we just added as an afterthought because it was sitting there. The sunglasses are Kaelin's, and she left them at my house for a year and bought replacements, so that's the story there.
The medal dangling from the top was Kaelin's from a music contest we entered in eighth grade. Or possibly seventh. We played "Hedwig's Theme," and it was awesome.
The top left picture is from a Halloween party when we were in eighth grade. She's Empress of the World, and I'm Hermione Granger... as I have been every year since the third grade. The ticket to the right is from our Washington, D.C. trip, specifically the visit to Mount Vernon to see George Washington's estate.
The whitish card on the top left side and the orangey one on the bottom are the same, and they're both cards we got at that music contest. On the drive home, we got stuck in traffic, and the "III" was circled, and I read it like "aye-aye-aye," which is the sort of thing that's only funny when one has been stuck in traffic for an hour, but anyway, we kept them.
The bottom left orangey ticket was a ticket to Godspell, our musical in eighth grade, and the orangey ticket on the bottom right was to see Sydney White. Good times.
And that blue piece of paper in the top right corner was a pass of some kind that Kaelin still had from middle school. Good job, Kaelin.
On the back at the top is a doodle Kaelin did in our World Lit class sophomore year. Those were supposed to be notes. To her credit, the lack of money was a fact. I think that was A Doll's House, but I wouldn't swear to it.
The paper at the bottom of the back side has our names on it. Kaelin was bored in art class, so she borrowed my Sharpies (that were Bic).
Aaaand that's really it! It's probably not precisely what Martha had in mind, but, eh. It was a fun time.
I wooonder whaaat's neeeeext! (NoIdon'tbutmaybeyoudo!)
