How to make a Baby Handprint Kit

We live in a world where anything is possible, good or bad. We never know from day to day what will happen in our lives. I was at a baby shower this past Saturday for my sister-in-law excited to be an aunt again. Then on the drive home, I passed a funeral home with a family saying their goodbye’s to someone they loved. Talk about going from one extreme of emotions to the next out of respect for someone’s loved one lost. Then, it had me thinking, we really never know when we will leave this earth after being born. How do we treasure and preserve our items to pass on to generations left? One great item to preserve is a baby hand print from the first year of our life.

Your hand is not just a hand. It is a physical representation of many things:

• A hand is used for writing cards, love notes, stories, letters, essays, filling out paperwork for kids to go to school, or for work.
• A hand is used to play beautiful music, play sports, or play the radio for some of us who are musically inclined (myself)
• A hand is used to give someone a pat on the back, shake another person’s hand you just met at work, school, business seminar, a future mentor, etc.
• A hand is a representation of many milestone moments in our lives, as we are born and first learn to grip things, first learn how to drive using our hands, get married and a ring is put on our hand, etc.
• A hand is used to bake that traditional family recipe, every holiday.
• A hand is used to accomplish tasks, save lives, build things, or make projects for work or home.
• A hand is used to tell stories (as many of us talk with our hands – guilty).
• A hand is used to help show love to others, or express other non-verbal communication. For some, who are deaf, they rely on others hands to communicate everything.

Where to Preserve Memories, besides a Scrapbook?

Where to Preserve Memories, besides a Scrapbook?

Please do not use an ugly and boring cardboard box. That is not special.

Use a Time Capsule. No we are not talking about the Apple Time Machine. According to Merriam-webster.com, a Time Capsule is : “ a container holding historical records or objects representative of current culture that is deposited (as in a cornerstone) for preservation until discovery by some future age.”

Many people already have a time capsule, but just do not realize it. You email account saves all your treasured, sentimental emails from friends and family. You can save your photos online somewhere or in a scrapbook, or your time capsule may be that ugly cardboard box in your closet filled with “stuff.”

We here at The Original Time Capsule company want you to treasure your loved and memorable items in a more decorative and special way, with our time capsules. We currently have our Baby and Wedding Time Capsule. More time capsules coming soon “in the future.”

Our time capsules are not meant to be buried. They are meant to be displayed for about 10 to 20 years (or whatever timeframe you choose), on your fireplace mantle, shelf, table, etc. These unique gifts can hold your 3D objects, like Baby’s first rattle or favorite toy, the bride and groom’s wedding wine glass or honeymoon souvenir. Things you would also put in a shadow box, but you want to be kept a secret (if you are making the time capsule for someone else, not yourself). What a memorable day that will be for the child or couple years later, when they open their time capsule and relive the first year they were born or married. I can just hear some of the laughs and see the tears flowing now, from all the memories discussed and experienced again.

So, where do you preserve memories, besides a scrapbook? Here is a helpful article on how to organize your precious child’s artwork and schoolwork at http://www.makelifelovely.com/2013/05/how-to-organize-your-childrens-art-and.html

For the special photos that do go into a scrapbook, learn how to do this by watching this video at https://www.paperwishes.com/scrapbooking101/articles/building-a-page.html

We hope this article was helpful for you. Always remember, have fun!
