Sentimental Diva

For many parents, passing their family’s traditions along to their children is extremely important. It’s a vital part of who you are as people and you strive to become active participants in your children’s cultural growth. The best way to teach kids how to value tradition is to first teach them how each holiday is celebrated.

However, culture and tradition are often difficult to explain to the young ones so school teachers and parents can help make these explanations more clear by making holiday crafts with the kids. Teaching a lesson while the kids are engaged in making the craft is usually easier than talking to a group of children who just want to play.

• Developing an Artsy Lifestyle

Art is not just for small kids. Just because a child grows older doesn’t mean crafts have to disappear from their lives.

Crafting is a way to create something from scratch or to explore an art form more deeply. With kids being so into video games, iPods, and cell phones nowadays, crafting is a way to relax and express who they are as a person. And, you’ll be glad to know that being ‘artsy’ is something that they can pass on to the next generation.

Can you imagine your great-grandchildren and their children creating mementos and scrapbooks around stories that originated from YOU? It’s an amazing feeling and you can do something to start the Artsy lifestyle that your kids will keep forever.

Spring means everyone will be in for another grand and fun house cleaning!

What isn’t well-realized is that spring is also the time for scrapbooking. Why? Notice when you clean, you stumble upon some sentimental but forgotten things you haven’t seen for a long time. Of course, at that moment, you promise never to lose it again. You place it inside a box and you vow to do something with it as soon as possible.

But things don’t go according to plan, do they? Soon you find yourself forgetting about these sentimental items that you really want to preserve forever. Moreover, you realize that the longer you keep them unprotected, the more they become damaged. Don’t let one spring cleaning pass you by again before you start treasuring these valuable things.

What are the things that you can put in a scrapbook?

1. Photos of you and your friends
2. Candid shots from family gatherings
3. kids’ artwork
3. buttons that you misplaced
4. rocks and shells that you picked up during your vacation
and the list goes on.

With a scrapbook, you preserve the memories, you can use your scrapbook as a conversational piece on your living room, and you can even wrap it up and send it as a gift to a relative who lives far away. Memories are the best gifts. If you can’t preserve them, they’re gone forever. If you can keep them with you, do it. You only live once.

First choice was a locket where she could keep our photos or her grandson’s photo. However, knowing how she will always wear her favorite necklace wherever she went, there’s a slim chance that the locket will be put away in a drawer somewhere. No, i need something more wearable but every bit as sentimental as a locket. A charm bracelet is the obvious choice but what design? Stars? Hearts? Combination?

Moms, as they grow older, become more sentimental. As if the impending old age and mortality keeps them on their toes on wanting to connect more with their kids and loved ones who have found their own nests in life. This Mother’s Day, we want to give our mom this bracelet.
