I scraped and repainted the old window. Then I place 4x6 B&W family photos around, about 30 photos. I tried to get pictures of the family in the kitchen. I asked my mother and mother in-laws for old pictures of us as kids and the grandparents.
I want it to be a discussion starter. Where you say remember the time when... this or that happen. I used my Silhouette to make the vinyl cut out that say, Savor the Moments.
Put it all together with a cardboard backing, nails, and wire hooks. Viola!
