Come, look with me inside this drawer

In this box I’ve often seen

At the piectures, black and white

Faces proud, still and serene.

I wish I knew the people

These Strangers in the box

Their names and all their memeories

Are lost among the socks.

I wonder what their lives were like,

How did they spend their days?

What about their special times?

I’ll never know their ways.

If only someone would have taken time,

To tell who, what and when,

Those faces of my heritage

Would come to life again.

Could this become the fate

Of the pictures we take today?

The faces and the memories

Someday to be tossed away?

Make time to save your pictures

Seize the opportunity when it knocks

Or someday you and yours could be

The strangers in the box.

Why Custom Scrapbooks?  Let’s face it.  Most people leave their precious photos sitting in a box and even with the best of intentions just never seem to get around to placing all of those photos in albums.  My mom has a box like that that she got from her mom.  When we go through those pictures she doesn’t know who half those people are.  But these people were important enough to Grandma for her to hold on to their pictures.  Grandma has passed on, so we may never know who is in all of those pictures.  Don’t leave your children and grandchildren to wonder about the strangers in the box.

If you don’t have the time or the inclination to scrapbook all those pictures, let me do it for you!!
