Katie's Birthday!

Today is my best friend Katie’s birthday.  She is turning 18 and I wanted to get or make her something that was really neat.  I couldn’t think of anything that I wanted to get her from a store.  I wanted to get her something that would bring back a lot of memories and that would mean a lot to her.  I talked to my friend Megan to see if she had any ideas.  Katie, Megan and I have been best friend since elementary school and we have made a lot of memories together.  Megan and I began looking through some old pictures and we realized that we had a lot of pictures with Katie, so we decided to make a photo collage for her.  We got an 18” x 24” frame and about 70 pictures developed.  We organized the pictures by age and started with our preschool graduation and ended with pictures from our Junior Prom.  We cut out some pictures and haphazardly placed them all over the cardboard that was in the frame.  We had so many pictures that not all of them fit.  Around the inside of this frame there was a white border.  On this border we wrote memories that we had with Katie, and at the top we wrote Happy 18th Birthday Katie! We were very pleased with how it turned out and we thought she was going to love it.  We gave it to her before school this morning, and we were right, she loved it!!
