what's a good way to store and display keepsake items such as flowers and balloons from a loved one?

Question

even stuff like cards, movie tickets, plane tickets, programs...

Answer 1

I get one of those air tight plastic bags, I put each thing alone then put them in a file (you know of of these files that have platic papers like in them so I slide each keeps sake I have already in a plastc in), this way I can see them anytime I like. I put these files in plastic store boxes.

Answer 2

If you are going to save a lot of things, I have a really good box/calendar method. Get a clear storage box and some acid-free paper. Layer your keepsakes with the paper, marking the date and event on each layer of paper. Press the flowers between heavy books for a week before adding them to the layers. Make sure you write important dates on a pretty calendar and add the whole calendar to the layers at the end of the year.

I also used this method, without the acid-free paper, to keep track of my son's progress through medical issues and special ed. I had to go to court for something, and it helped that all the notes and important dates were stored in chronological order.

Answer 3

buy one of those photo memory boxes to store it in. flower can be dried out they sell the product to do it at your local craft store it can be reused and it is simply done in the microwave using it. balloon either wait for them to deflate and smooth them flat or put a tiny pin hole by where the balloon is blown up and let the air out slow as not to pop it. if latex the same can be done if you want you can cut off the rubber end and stretch it over a small piece of cut out card board. ...have fun
