Decorating with Vacation Memories

Do you collect things on vacation, take pictures, or both. I'm in the both category. What do you do with them after vacations over? Are you a scrapbooker? Yes. Do pictures just accumulate on your SD card? Sometimes. Do you use your collected things or just pack them away? I packed them until recently. If you answered yes, no, maybe so, to any of or all of these; I have some ideas for you....
We are beach vacationers, we collect sand, rocks, driftwood, shells, lighthouse figures, books, pictures, and whatever else tickles our fancy.
We have a beautiful mantel and sideboard that gets different decoration themes quite often and here is this years summer "beach" theme....
We brought home sand, shells, lighthouse figures and photos, antique buttons, rocks, driftwood, books and many many pictures from our trips to Michigan and Florida. I love the look of filled glass containers; I put my memories and collections together.

Don't forget to add some personal photos too, of family or just objects it makes it so personal.

Really can't wait until our next vacation or weekend trip to bring home more memories to play with.

Happy 24-7 Memory Making!

Jill
