I Love old letters and I've kept them ALL! I made a quilt out of some of them one time by photocopying them and using image transfer ink onto material and then sewing together like a patchwork quilt. Nowadays you can do this easier with a scanner and companies like Spoonflower where you can print your own material.
it is a problem...I have a heap of old letters too...maybe collage them like you do with your arty stuff...highlighting them with colours and pictures to remind you of the people and the events and the places...a clever girl like you would do something interesting...
Haha I love the one from Bree! And is the one about the baby from Mum? Who was she talking about? I know a lot of scrap bookers copy photos onto acid free paper because it lasts longer, I have a lot of newspaper articles about Trevor that I want to keep for the girls and have also being thinking about how to preserve them.
