I have a huge collection of rocks written on with sharpie of where I collected – I need an idea of how to display, they are just sitting in a box! Ideas on that?
Love your travel ideas. Thanks for sharing : )
Something about the dirt in jars trips my trigger…also like the rocks with words on them…
My daughter is always collecting rocks from places we go – I like the rock idea. 🙂
I also like to collect Christmas tree ornaments from trips. I have a few from my honeymoon that I enjoy putting on the tree every year.
I love your ideas of saving the sand from vacations. So great to see how many color variations there are to sand!

I just got back from Italy with some fun jewelry~ I smile when I put them on.
That is a friday's favorite!
Happy Friday! I'm following you via the Social Parade blog-hop!
These are all great ideas! We spend a week at the Oregon coast each year and bring home stuff for the house every time. I'll be using some of your projects for sure! Very clever.
