Six-years-old Ava loves to give tickets. When she was in all day pre-K, her teacher gave "tickets" to the children for various achievements. So, for Ava, getting a ticket is a good thing, and she is on a mission to share her joy by writing and giving tickets to people she loves. She also uses tickets to let me know when she's not so happy with me.
I am honored to be the recipient of Ava's tickets. Whether the tickets are lovey-dovey or meant to keep me 'in line', I adore getting them.
I had some of them in a pile of bits and pieces of things that I had intended to put in a scrapbook. Yesterday when I was organizing my sewing/craft room, I had an idea. Why put these things in a scrapbook, which will sit on a shelf only to be looked through every now and again (mainly the next time I add something to it)? Where could I put them so that I could enjoy them every day? Hmmmm..what to do, what to do....

*BINGO*
Why not just pin them on the wall? After all, I am not lacking for sewing pins. So...with no design strategy in mind, I began pinning bits of ephemera. Ava's tickets have their own little niche, with plenty of room to add more as she deems necessary to write me up. :)
Now, everytime that I go into my workroom the first thing that I see are my tickets. What could be better than to be reminded that "I love you, Nana?"

Haven't seen them but thought maybe, if it is practical, you could "copy" them onto fabric and sew them into a quilt or blanket of some sort to keep them "in view".
ReplyDeleteDenise, that is a wonderful idea!
