These keepsake collages are a wonderful way to look back at summer trips and activities. Just one little ticket stub or photo can inspire a flood of memories about a day spent together.
OUR FAMILY: Tammy and Brad Farlow of Wabash, Ind., and our kids, Mary Elizabeth, 16; Anna Marie, 13; and Paul, 9
OUR TRADITION: All summer long we collect photos and souvenirs of our favorite activities. Then, on the day before school starts, we lay a big poster board on the dining room table and make a collage from them. We hang the posters in our den so we can revisit our fun summers all year long.
HOW WE GOT STARTED: Mary Elizabeth was in second grade and felt sad because summer was ending, so we decided to make a collage to cheer her up. The project is a great way for all of us to say goodbye to summer, since working on it often reminds us of funny stories -- such as the time the guinea pigs we were babysitting almost escaped! They're immortalized in a photo on the 2001 collage.
