Making memory plates

We spent some time with some of our favorite people over the holidays.  While there they made memory plates.  Here are lots of pictures of our friends making their plates.

We used dollar store plates and mugs, sharpie markers and when done with the art work we baked at 350 degrees for 30 min.  We learned that this works best with plain black sharpie markers.  It was still fun.  Even little Elijah made a plate.  We had everyone sign and date their plates so each year they can make a new one and when they leave home they will have a whole set of special memory plates to take with them.
