My daughter and I recently had the
opportunity to spend a week at Disney World in
Orlando, Florida. We were totally overwhelmed with
all the things there were to do, and I had no idea
how we would ever be able to remember it all.
We decided to put together a
scrapbook of our Disney World memories. We wanted
this to be as inexpensive as possible, while at the
same time creative. Before we left on our trip my
husband's mom gave us some scrapbook pages she got
from our local craft store that already had Disney
World characters and themes throughout them. So we
knew we wanted to put together a scrapbook of some
kind.
While visiting the Animal Kingdom
in Disney World, we were browsing through one of
many gift shops, gawking at the incredibly high
prices. While looking through the photo albums I
happened upon some discontinued scrapbooks that were
marked down 50% to only $8! I couldn't believe our
luck. It was spiral-bound with animal designs
imprinted on every page. Perfect.
So we brought home the album,
photos we had taken, and we already had scrapbooking
pages to liven it up a bit, but it needed something
else.
I had also saved whatever
memorabilia I could think of, like plane tickets,
the credit cards you get to open your hotel door,
the meal vouchers we had received, our luggage tags,
post cards, and our theme park passes. All of these
items combined (with a little imagination and some
glue!) make up a very inexpensive memory (less than
$20 total) that will last a lifetime.
