don't have a box but still have loads of things that remind me of stuff. Mostly pictures from race meets and got loads of canvases of my boy.

My memory box is a bit of a white tree. It contains 4 stone hearts each selected by my children and my ex wife. We agreed a long time ago that if any of the hearts were taken out of the box, the family would fall apart. It may seem a little redundant seeing as I'm no longer with my ex wife but between the 4 of us we always work together to maintain a family unit. Truth and understanding has been key on that. The hearts are a symbol of how we have endured hard times and survived. It's an emotional thing to open up the box once in a while.

When one of us dies. The heart will still be there in a little carved oak box. To remind us that they still live on in our memories.

My memory box has 2 Champagne corks from the birth of my children.
Sentimental pieces of jewellery from my grandma, and some baby photos, my kids prom photos and graduation pics so if there was ever a fire it's my grab box of key events in thier lives.
It also has a key for every home I have lived in with handmade labels, I don't know why I do that but when on the odd occasion I look in the box the keys brings back memories of my life time line.

I keep way too much stuff. Half of it I never look at and is buried in the Attic. X

I've got lots of treasures that I've kept. Baby hospital tags and paintings, cards and clay models. They are all over the place though. The thing I would save from a fire, after the family and dogs are safe of course, is a pendant my sons bought for me in Australia when they were on holiday with their Dad. It means the world to me x

I haven't got a memroy box, but I keep a journal. So postcards from where I've travelled to, ticket stubs and photographs go into it.

I keep one for memories of my son and things we've all done together. It gets added to all the time. Things from when I was pregnant right up to now and all the awards from school and the trips we all take together. Memories are important to me even though I can remember them all, any little reminders are precious. Like his first lock of hair from his first hair cut to ( I know this sounds daft) but the wrapper From the first chocolate bar he had! Lol!

I have one from our honeymoon as I never thought I'd get married and we did lots of naughty things on our road trip round Europe! This one was just for me and G, it's got our wedding cd in that I can't listen to anymore cos it makes me cry! Soppy I know! X
