How can you choose? If it had to be right now, I guess it would need to be something very near me. I think the covers of my project pattern books would look good. And something to carry my knitting projects around in.

I remember when I was about 7 years old my mother learned how to decoupage. I remember the time vividly in my life because it was something that she and I did together. Very fond memories. She decoupaged anything and everything in our house back then. I wish I still had some of the "evidence", but that was over 40 years ago. It's funny how we put things like that in the back of our heads. Now my very youngest grandchild is 7 and if could decoupage anything right now, I would decoupage the WORLD and do it with her. It isn't the thing that you make, it is the fact that you make it....this is the stuff of good memories.
