i always try to collect keepsakes from friends and family or from a place where i've been to. it's always nice to have a keepsake even in the form of photos, but the most important keepsake that i won't ever trade is the friendship and love that has been given to me by my friends and family. i will always cherish that in my heart forever and no one can take that away from me ever! Do you have keepsakes from friends and family? what are they?

It's great to be able to caption pictures with what happened or what you were thinking at the time. Plus, you have the ability to show others what was important to you.

I love keeping things as reminders of things I've done.

There was also a silver pendant a childhood friend and I share (halves to a whole).
I've given keepsakes as well. A self-stitched golden and orange bracelet for that childhood friend. A wooden elephant and a ceramic elephant for granny (she collects them). A bold metallic watch for my dad (he lost it though
