I’ve mentioned that I’m not crafty, right? Once or twice?

I wonder if artistry skips a generation. Make that two. My grandmother? Crocheted the loveliest blankets. My uncle? Wove Nantucket Baskets (self-taught). Me? *crickets*

Enough with pontificating on my feelings of inadequacy. My mom recently revealed a project she’d been working on for a while. It’s a wooden box to hold wedding memorabilia (and cards from well-wishers at our reception too!).

I was speechless when she showed me. She is amazing. I am amazed. (I may have even shown sentiment.) I’m not sure my photos do it justice, but I’ll try.

Here’s the tour:

There’s PChipz, heading for the church!

And here’s our reception venue, The Towers:

Here’s PChipz parents’ home/my childhood home:

Here’s Mr. Potato Head’s parent’s home/his childhood home:

And here is the home of Ms. PChipz & Mr. Potato Head:

If you look closely, you can see our kitty in the window!

Here is the cover, bunches of tumbly hydrangeas:

I hope someone—even if it’s my great-great-grandchildren—inherits my mom’s talent. I can’t wait to fill this box with all sorts of treasures. When the wedding is over, what are you keeping? Do you have a special place to keep your wedding memorabilia?
