MEMORY -
Today, I reflect back on the many memories of Pete. What he liked, vacations we took, places he visited. Each detail being vivid and holding special meaning.
APPLICATION -
As mom and I finished our soup and salad at The Olive Garden, we began to collect new crafting ideas. Blessing Bouquets were fun to create but we wanted to go bigger, we wanted to create something of more value and meaning to the client. I glanced at a boring photo on the wall and our new product came into clear focus. A framed pictured surrounded by a mat, collaged with stickers and pictures of all the things that were meaningful to the client or the clients loved one. One glance at this frame and you knew everything there was to know about the person!
We paid for our check, and went straight to Joanne Fabrics. I purchased a matted frame and headed home. Originally I had bought a ton of high quality 3d stickers to create a scrapbook in tribute of Peter, but just never got around to it. I found my batch of stickers and got to work. Within no time I had created the perfect tribute to Pete all under one glassed frame.
I brought the frame over to my Dad, and he LOVED IT!!!! Each sticker represented something special about Pete's life, and his picture in the middle tied all of them together.
REFLECTION -
So happy it touched Dad, so happy I found a new venture .... I am sure Pete has something to do with this ;)
