Romance on a Budget: Make a Collage

July 26, 2010 by Lori Mitchell

Ok, I know this is going to sound corny but one of the best gifts you can give somebody is a memory. I know you can get travel type mugs that you can put photos in they are only $2 or $3 bucks. Or get an empty poster buy online drugs without prescription cialis 20mg frame or even an old picture that you no longer hang or one you find in a yard sale and put together the memory.

A couple issues ago I told you about the trip I took with an ex-boyfriend to London. While in London I saved theater ticket stubs, train tickets, boarding passes, pamphlets, the free tube map and whatever else I managed to get my hands on to remind us. I bought one of those cups from a fundraiser for one of my nephews and ended up going back and getting a poster frame as well, since I had so much stuff. I had some photos developed and bought some wrapping paper with hearts on it and used that for the background of a scrapbook style setup for both the mug and poster frame.

I know he still uses the mug and the poster frame is hanging in his bedroom even today. Though we are no longer together he has the memory of a wonderful trip and gets to relive it every time he uses his mug or walks into his bedroom.
