Make a Memory Box

Every year for Christmas, my husband and I exchange one “treasure” gift. This year, I totally won the sentimental contest. {whoot, whoot!} 😉 -I didn’t do a post on it, but  it was peeking out in a picture from the post I just did on his Valentine’s gift. Do you see it?!! Make a Memory Box

It is the most beautiful Memory Box to hold all of our sweetest treasures. I spotted these “Memory Keepers” on Paper Coterie and knew it would be the perfect, unbeatable, sentimental gift. 😉

You see, ever since we met, I’ve kept little treasures of our relationship. These little treasures include: love notes, concert tickets, pictures, cards, etc. -These “little” treasures have added up to quite the pile, or should I say FILE, over the years. Ahhhh!!!

This sweet Memory Keeper has solved my “file” problem, and now I have a gorgeous box of treasures.Make a Memory Box

Do you see one of my favorite treasures in there? 😉 Can’t beat a good ole’ fashioned candy gram.

I love that you can create and preview all of your Paper Coterie creations, before purchasing them.

I just love how my memory box turned out. Makes me smile every time I look at it. It makes me smile even more when I go through what’s inside of it. 🙂 While organizing our memories, I found a little piece of paper with my husband’s telephone # on it. Brought back a lot of memories.Make a Memory Box

    Thank you! I just want to say I saw in one of the photos your poem/letter using the conversation hearts candies! Love it! I usually have my students create poems using those candies as a Valentine’s Day assignment, and they always turn out so well!

    Question: What web browser do you use? For some reason, I am having a hard time using their website. Maybe I need to use a different browser?

    This is FANTASTIC! I started a project last fall when the last Paper Coterie deal was on, but I never finished and was devastated that my book would never get printed. Thank you, HDS and Paper Coterie, because now I can finish my book!

    Wouldn’t this make the best gift for newlyweds or even anniversaries. Even us that have been married forever would be a terrific idea. I sure would love one.

    Last time Howdoesshe gave away $30 to Paper Coterie I used it to get a gift certificate and then when I tried to use the gift certificate it didn’t work. When I contacted them they said, “The gift card was purchased using a promotional code which is not allowed so it was canceled.” I hope it works this time.

      Try ordering a product (not gift certificate). You should have no problems as long as your order is $30 or more. 🙂 -Please let us know if you do. They are truly a wonderful company to work with. We will contact them personally if it’s not working for you.

    Thank you so much for this! My sister’s bday is coming up and this is the perfect time to make something to add to her presents.

    I love this idea! My husband and I have literally know each other since we were 4 years old and as we got older kept in contact through letters and cards. Granted, we were just friends and did not start dating until we were in our 20s. I always thought it would be nice to combine our stashes of mementos as a kind of chronicle of how our friendship and romance grew.

    I was so excited to see this, and I ended up creating the Polaroid Heart poster for our room in the 20×30 size. I am currently in the works of redesigning our room in a DIY, super low budget fashion…and this was perfect! I only had to pay for shipping…and that poster is going to look amazing framed above our bed! Thanks so much for the $30 code!!

    Of course I waited until the last minute. The website is having trouble and only displays Valentine’s day cards (no other cards). I contacted them this morning about it and haven’t heard anything from them. Any chance the can extend the coupon code until their site is fixed?

    I don’t mean to be ungrateful for a lovely gift like this, but the shipping is a bit high in my opinion. If that is how much they are being charged, then they should look into more affordable options. I love their “One That I Love” series and was considering doing more from that line, until I saw the shipping costs. Adding that to the regular price of the item makes it not worth it to me. They have lovely products though.
