So last night I stayed up late making this (more cards inside the bag). Tonight is Eli's buddy's birthday party. A couple of days ago I looked on my new favorite blog for ideas. A Make Your Own Memory Game was perfect, especially since I'm always taking pictures. After some online and craft store searching, I came up empty-handed, so I had to invent my own version. With some wallet-sized prints, picasa to add words to the cover photo, heavy weight interfacing, felt ( love you felt), pinking shears, and two hours of sewing and cutting, Curt will have a memory game that brings back memories. How tender.
I was so excited I had to bring it up to Brian to see when I finished, whether I had to wake him or not. He's learning to be impressed by my creations and numerous uses for the snap machine I asked for. I'm just glad I finally came up with something on my own rather than needing a tutorial. I searched around this morning and found someone else had done something similar, except with the expense and trouble of printing photos on fabric. Ha!
I'm already brainstorming a churchy one to keep the boy occupied on Sundays, even going to temple square to take my own pictures. It would be convenient to run into the prophet.
Beyond brilliant!!! You are amazing
ReplyDeleteWait, how do you and Curtis know each other? And did I know that you did? I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteAlso, great job on the game! That looks really fun. My favorite line is that it would be convenient to run into the prophet.
Sarah, I was wondering that myself. It looks like a spammer link. I clicked on him and it goes to some website. I thought he was related to you for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's confusing. Well, I do have a cousin named Curtis Gibby and he does have a young daughter.
ReplyDeleteI went to the site and it turns out he IS my cousin. I guess this is a new business venture. At any rate, your game looks cool!
ReplyDeleteSmall world. I am Sarah's cousin, and I am running the Match The Memory web site. I don't know Helena, I just found her site based on a Google alert for "personalized memory game" or something like that.
