I have been making one of a kind Memory Boxes for about 20 yrs. No two are alike! I make each box unique and with whatever theme you choose.

It started out as snowflakes that I added glitter to for 52 workplace employee gifts. Then came their names... 52 of them... 52 different people with different emotions, families and their own personalities.... Yet, I had to make each one of these individuals the EXACT same gift. It broke my heart. Lumping them all together and making all the same gifts was so much easier and cheaper, but to me it was so insensitive. It was right then that I decided to add my own special touch. I did finish those boring snowflakes, but decided to just put them on our workplace tree....
I ended up going right to our local hobby store and bought 60 cheap clear Christmas balls and decorated each one with whatever I had in my house... newspaper, glitter, construction paper, magazine pictures, and/or stickers. They weren’t perfect, but they spoke to each one of my friends and let them know that “they” were God’s perfect gift and their lives and stories had made an impact on my life.
The next year, I found my little wooden boxes and started making new gifts for friends and families... Slowly, those friends started showing their boxes to other people and then the orders started flowing in. They were mostly for children, but I would occasionally get an order for an adult.
One day, my nephew said “Why don’t you start a business?” My little hobby had grown a lot and I was starting to get more and more arguments from my husband every time I would grab my wallet and head to the store. I absolutely loved making these gifts, but financially it was causing a stir at home. It really made me feel awkward to charge people for doing something I truly loved doing, but I knew I could no longer continue doing it for free.
