I love the idea of putting a copy of the family history in there. She'll roll her eyes now, but someday she will thank me!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6334949877564338451.post-32586784343488407482010-12-02T10:24:50.566-06:002010-12-02T10:24:50.566-06:00Greta, I like the idea of including a copy of the ...Greta, I like the idea of including a copy of the family history with an old or new family treasure.<br /><br />Carol, I enjoy the trunk and hope future generations will take pleasure in grandma's hope trunk.<br /><br />Kristin, Grandma enjoyed motherhood.

I could put "starter items" in them, as well as a copy of our family history!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.com
