keepsakes





over the summer mark was given his dad's sash from when he was a boy scout.

his dad's childhood best friend had it and gave it to him.

mark is so proud and happy to have such a treasure, especially since his dad passed away a little over 3 years ago.

well, this christmas day, we opened our box from mark's mom and found another surprise...

her sash from when she was a girl scout.

mark had told her that he had acquired his dad's and she sent hers to him as well.

it is awesome that he has both his parent's sashes from their childhood. they are definitely heirloom keepsakes.

mark wants to have them put into shadow boxes as well, which i think would be awesome.

some of the badges on them are so cute and cool looking.

so glad we have them, as they will be a treasure for sure.
