Forgotten Memories…w/w

We’ve had this sign in our garage for four years. While we were packing up to move, I couldn;t see keeping it, so we took a few pictures with Savannah and tossed it. I’ve heard that if you want to keep something, but don’t “really” want to keep it, to take a picture of it.

  24. My last “baby” was also born in 2008! I can’t believe life is moving so quickly.

  25. That is a great idea! I can already think of a few things that I could definitely get rid of if I took enough photos!

  26. Yep, having a digital copy is better anyway. You toss the things that will just rot without being used but keep the lovely memory alive πŸ™‚

  27. that is a really really good idea!! what a sweet thing to have, 4 years later

  28. Never thought to do that but certainly a great idea. My problem would be I’d see the photo and wonder what I did with it. Lol

  29. That is a really great idea : )

  38. That is a great idea!! Now when she gets married take a picture of her holding this picture!!

  39. A picture is much easier to store!

  40. I don’t like keeping those big things either. They take up room to store other memories. Good decision on tossing it.

  41. Wow, that is so great that you still had it. What a great picture to keep!

  42. I totally do that “take-a-picture-of-it” trick! It’s the only way I can get myself to get rid of anything! lol. How sweet is it that she’s next to her sign- time flies!

  43. Aw how cute!

  44. Very cute and what a great idea!
