Update


I finally copied the photos I wanted to use for my Time in a Bottle display.  I wish I had a better camera so that the bottles looked as good here as they do in person...but you get the idea.  I have a few changes I want to make; some original pictures are actually in the bottles, and I think that looks best, so I plan to take the other ones and have copies made at a photography shop and then replace the paper copied ones with them.  I also want to use some of Cal's old pictures but he really doesn't have much to choose from.  He did find two, so I will have to decide which one to use.....and I was hoping to have a nice one of his parents, but the only one he has is small...Oh well...use what you can right?  I think it would be nice for him to see his history around him as well as mine.  I love old black and white photos...they just have something about them.



Here is a closer look at how the pictures look inside the bottles with the candle light in the background.

I love the picture of my Mom..it fits so perfectly in the center of the little bottle.



I just had to include another picture of my pal Max....here he is sleeping away in the living room on a cold November evening.  I got the red & white pillow for $3.99 at Value Village.  It is originally from the Pottery Barn and was definately a deal!  I love junk shopping, you never know what you will find.
