Barbara's "Memory Box" of Her Life with Harry. Prompted by the death of her husband in February, 2005, this project was absolutely essential to Barbara's emotional healing and dealing with her grief. (Her personal report on this topic appears in her June, 2005 widow's report.)

Picture Yourself in a Typesetter's Tray. This how-to project by Barbara—a pictorial presentation of her life from childhood to about age 43—was originally published in her "Making Memories" column which ran in Crafts 'n Things magazine during 1998-1999. It will give you some great ideas on how to make a pictorial record of your own life that you and your heirs will cherish forever.

A Father's Memory Box. This was another project that ran in Barbara's "Making Memories" column— this one a unique memory box of photos and personal possessions of her father. It includes tips on how to make a fabulous gift for your own father, or a cherished keepsake of him.
