Have you every seen those china cups with an image in the bottom that only becomes viible when you hold it to the light? This works the same way. A lithophane is a carved piece of material created from your photo. Where the material is the thinnest are the lighter parts of the image. With a light installed behind it, your Family Portrait Lithophane becomes a unique heirloom.

Light Affection can create one of these marvels as a night light or one of several sizes of framed potraits. Amazing!

Every once in a while I will find a gift idea that hits home in some way.  This keepsake has done that and I would like to take a serious moment. 

"Not all those who wander are lost."

A hope that when a friend or loved one loses their way, they will eventually return to being the person you once knew.

Thanks for letting me take my moment.

This one is similar to yesterday's gift, but it was way too cool to pass up.  It comes with the silver gel pen and would make an excellent keepsake.  Have their friends sign it beforehand and present it to them, or give it to them so they can bring it to school for the last few days to have it signed along with their yearbook.

This is $6.95 from Personalization Mall.
