memory boards

my crafty wife is turning into an entreprenuer. she has made a few memory boards for our daughter and as gifts for a couple of people. they're essentially an upholstered bulletin board that is crisscrosed by ribbons. the ribbons are used to hold photos, recipies, notes, whatever on the board. they've gotten rave reviews, so she's made a dozen or two of them and will be selling them at some upcoming craft fairs.

her profit margin is nice if you do NOT calculate her time into the equation. but mostly it is cool to see her find a new outlet to get creative in. she went from being a teacher with a room full of students to being a mom with one student. our daughter benefits from this focus, but I could tell my wife wanted a new challenge to keep her sane. if all goes well, this one will help pay a few bills too.
