I believe the sock dogs were your idea but some of the others were mine…duct tape, totally me. Kids pants, me. So if by “lead” you mean you were fully in charge of figuring out execution rather than conceived the idea but no more… ok, maybe you did lead.

We simply went to the thrift store, scored 2 old Memory games and picked out a bunch of pics of family. We bought sheets of sticker material and had our photos printed on them in the correct size. Using my scrapbooking tools, we cut out the pics and stuck them on the used pieces from the game. We found a new box that was the correct size and made a label that said “Smith Family Memory Game” . My parents and in-laws loved it! The cousins did too – it was a lot of fun to see their faces when they realized we included pics of them =) Everyone assumed we had it custom made or something but it was relatively easy and cost less than $5!
