Little Notes - Saving the Past
Ranked #826 in Relationships & Family, #106,294 overall | Donates to BuckHawk Center Animal Rescue
Little Notes = Memory Keepers
Throughout my life, it's the little notes that have always been so meaningful to me. Words painstakingly printed in pencil or scrawled hastily across a hot pink post-it note. Little notes that jog my memories.
Saving the past is what little notes do for me. One day if I should start to forget, I hope these notes serve as reminders. I like to think that someday perhaps the little pieces of paper so important to me will have meaning to others. They may only contain a portion of my story, but the bits they tell are the most important to me.

Little Notes That Hold Your Heart
He was obviously very young when he made it and I could kick myself for not putting a date on it when I received it. Regardless, this little note is priceless to me. (Let this be a lesson to all you moms and dads.....date your little notes!) (Photo by Pam Irie)
Little Love Notes
Saving the past is also (in a way) preserving the future for my husband and I. Whenever I get annoyed with him all I have to do is pull out my box of little notes from my husband. They are mostly all hand drawn with quick sketches and filled with quirky prose.I'm sure these little notes were more than likely frantically composed, but very precious to me all the same.These little love notes bring me back to the beginning and that's a fun place to be after being married over 30 years.

A Little Note to the Tooth Fairy
I nearly cried when I came upon this little note to the Tooth Fairy who was apparently MIA. Long ago when our kids were so young, money was often tight. This was undoubtedly one of those times, but our daughter was very impatient and was getting mad at the absent-minded Tooth Fairy.
(For the record, the Tooth Fairy did make an appearance that night to retrieve Riki's tooth and if I remember correctly, it happened to be a payday.) ;) (Photo by Pam Irie)
Little Notes Give Direction
Sometimes I tear the edges of the paper before I decoupage little notes to the back of a frame or attach them under a piece of furniture. Or I can enclose the paper in a clear archival container with the object it pertains to.
Memories are more precious to me than any antique. (Photo by Pam Irie)
Little Notes Tell a Story
I've attached this little note to the back of the frame. It tells a story. (Photo by Pam Irie)

Little Notes for Just Because...
Remember the important things you want people to know and put these words on paper, even if it's just a post-it note. (Photo credit Pam Irie)

- I love the subject of this lens. I've saved little notes, but I wish I had saved even more. Some are in my photo albums just to keep them safe.

- Very silly, just sentimental rubbish, but we just have to keep them don't we. Whether it's something our child wrote, or our loved one, it means so much to us, and always brings back precious memories. Enjoyed my visit, blessed.

- I keep a few ones with special meaning taped to the mirror in my bedroom. Whenever I'm feeling down, they give me a little boost.

- Great tip to date the notes your kids leave! Mine haven't learned to write yet so I'm looking forward to the first one!

- My sister once made me a birthday card "Even if I went over the rainbow I'd never find a sister as nice as you" (yeah... I kept it!). And, a few years ago, I was feeling a bit forlorn because it seemed I was "giving" a lot of my energy to hopeless job situations, and my husband wrote me a little note saying, "This is just a note to thank you for all you do for others, including me...I love you!" And my hubby is not a "card" kind of guy... That meant a lot to me, and still does. :)

- I like the tooth fairy note. My little angel used to write her before when her tooth was aching and she needs help and would believe that when morning comes, no more aches :)

- I've not saved as many as I should have (I now see!). I love the linoleum piece, so lovingly framed! Perhaps I'd have been more sentimental if I was as clever as you are!
Wonderful lens on a unique topic!
