Sight - For sight, I'm choosing my scrapbooks. I love making something that is exactly how
I want it, and of course, I love looking back at the memories made. This picture is
of the scrapbook I'm working on at the moment, which is a whole book dedicated to
my Colorado trip, which has been my favorite trip I've ever taken.
Smell - For smell, I have to share my Bath & Body Works Cinnamon Sugared Donut candle.
I'm the kind of person who associates smells with memories, and to me, this candle
smells like fall days spent at pumpkin patches with my family, where we would
stop at the little stand with the cinnamon roasted almonds before we went home.
Sound - My sound object is not the typical pick for this category; most people would pick
a song or a record player, maybe a music box, but I'm picking the floors of my
house. I've lived in this house my whole life, and the creaks the floors make are
the most familiar sounds I know. I can walk through this house with my eyes
closed and still know exactly where I am by what the sound of the floor is.
Taste - Thanksgiving at my house is a big deal; we go all-out with more food than you can
imagine, and some of the dishes aren't your typical Thanksgiving food. My favorite
of these is "Thanksgiving rice," with is rice with bacon and onions. It's the most
simple thing, but it tastes like home, and I think everyone should have a food that
takes them back home, no matter how far they may be.
Touch - My touch object is more of a collection of things. I'm choosing my Christmas tree
and all of its decorations, from garland to skirt to ornaments. We have a fake tree
because some of us have allergies, so the feeling of the fake needles of the tree
is so familiar, as are the textures of the ornaments and the cushiness of the tree
skirt. Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I love that I have things that are so
familiar that make that time of year feel really nostalgic and homey.
I wish you all the best,
Erin
