Souvenirs and photos of family trips and vacations are usually put away for safekeeping or placed in an album, but creating a memory board is one way to display them prominently. Martha constructs a memory board made from a map and piece of fabric-covered fiber board. Once it's finished, Martha pins small flags at the locations she's visited, as well as an assortment of photographs, ticket stubs, and other memorabilia around the edges of the map.
