Save Money While Saving Your Vacation Memories
A picture is worth a thousand words, but so is memorabilia - and most of it you can get for FREE. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! And the memories are endless!!!
There is so much that you can collect for your scrapbook - you probably don't even realize! And you can even make a scrapbook without taking photos! Don't waste your money on buying junk, just look at what is right in front of you for FREE!!! SAVE MONEY!!! And if you don't scrapbook, here's your chance to learn or just do what you want the way you want to do it! Just so long as you remember your trips.
Gathering memorabilia: Put some plastic zipper bags in your suit case and purse to store memorabilia. Mark each bag with the date and the place. Store ticket stubs, shells, leaves, menus, receipts, business cards or other items you can pick up and put in the bags that will remind you of your day. Doesn't cost you a dime to collect this kind of stuff and oh, the memories!!! FOR FREE!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!
Journaling: You like to think that you will never forget this wonderful trip, and alot of it you won't, but you will forget some, even alot, of it and especially the little things that made up the major memories! Each night, journal (using the hotels free stationery they usually have in drawer!) about the day - things you did, places you went, what you bought, ate or participated in. Your feelings, and little events that happened. These are the things that you will forget in time. When done, just slide the sheet in a page protector! Or take a spiral notebook and journal in it. Journal while you are doing a transportation jaunt - like if you have to take a bus or train and dont' have any thing to do, or can't do anything else- journal about your day. Trust me, you won't remember it all - a year down the road and those little things that made the trip special, will be forgotten.
Take along page protectors. These are great for brochures, phamplets, maps and other larger paper items. Just put them in the bottom of your suitcase when you are not using them.
Don't forget postcards - for another reason! Often pictures that you take are fine if they are of people, but always check out post cards for the main attractions of the place you are at. For instance, if you go to Philidelphia to see the Liberty Bell, yes, you can take photos, but pick up a post card of this American Icon - the picture will be so much better than what you will take. Get postcards of the scenery - they will usually be better than ones you take (minus the people). Then just journal on the back of the card!
Mail your memories home! If you are going to be gone for several weeks, get some 9x12 manilla envelopes and address them to yourself. Fill them with memorabilia and then find the post office where ever you are and send the filled envelope home! that way you don't have to carry it around, hope it don't get lost or messed up. And you dont have to pay for the weight at the airport!!!
Make money, save money and do it on vacation! The more you save, the more you will have to spend!!!!!To make money, save money or just stretch what you have-continue reading articles for more tips, ideas and ways to do all 3!
