Homemade display
This is definitely something off-beat that my father made for me for my Christmas present to use as a display, he does woodworking for a living. We talked about doing something related to our hometown, Kearny NJ and Dots Miller, who is not only from Kearny but also directly related to six of our relatives. Dot's original house is right around the corner and a couple blocks from my first house, was still in the family until late 2009. I'll post the picture from in town where we got the actual idea we went with, then the display he made along with the inside which hasn't been put together yet(there are 9 more items to put in), probably going to go with velcro to keep the cards in place. Just figured I'd share it here because I really like it and it turned out great.
