Having accessories around the house is an effective way to personalize your space. One way to get extremely personal with accessories and getting your loved ones involved is to make a signature rock collection. When I was younger I remember every beach trip ended up with a pail full of shells that went home with me and was immediately decorated with markers. I took this idea today and had Quinn and Ella hand write their names on two somewhat smooth rocks from our backyard. Cleaned them up and I dated the back. I just love seeing their handwriting and now I have it permanently on 2 accessories right in my entry bookcase. This would even be a fun project to do for Dad on father’s day…. He could easily put this on his desk at work as a paper weight.

I have one rock like this. My son made it in grade school. When I was going through his box of memories I found it. We all had a laugh. Adam (24) said it was his first piece of art work...he's an artist by hobby. It was great.

A very cool idea...love it. DS#1 found a heart shaped rock once and I think I'll clean it up so the boys can sign it. Thanks for the idea

My dd loves picking up cool rocks. I'll have to try this with some of the bigger ones for her.
