Centerpieces 2007-10-17 14:02:00 TipJunkie.com is proud to present the 'Great Tip Award' to Dandee for her Family Reunion Centerpieces.Dandee made them by adhering old family photos to simple wooden boxes. Amazing!! I read her post about her family reunion months ago and was so impressed with these centerpieces I haven't forgotten about them.There are so many uses for this idea. I might make some to "wrap" a Christmas gift in for my Grandmother. I also thought of making some with pictures of Christ and using them as the centerpieces for the Christmas program at church.If I do make some with Christ on them, I'm going to save one for my family. I'll use it as "the gift" to Christ from our family. On Christmas Eve, each one of us will write down on a piece of paper what characteristic we're going to work on for that next year and put it in the box representing our gift to Him. We'll read them out loud each year right before we put our new ones inside.Dandee here's your 'Great Tip Award', thank you so much for s
