[Nfb-krafters-korner] crafty uses for the pen friend

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi to everyone,

I got my pen friend a week ago.  I have enjoyed it for labeling 
things to help me be more independant.

As I used it I realized that by having family members do the 
recording I have the added joy of hearing different loved ones read 
to me.  A great idea for use with parents that are lonely or for kids 
who are leaving home for school. Not only di you give them 
independance but a loving message. lol

But for crafting ideas I have come up with this plan.  Make a picture 
frame or photo album come alive by having the people in pictures 
discribe the picture. Each time you check out the picture you can 
hear that loved ones voice. If by chance, you are giving a pen friend 
as a gift a photo album all labeled would be a great addition.

Also, adding a message to a card would bring it alive to a blind 
person.  Of course, you have to use their pen friend which makes it 
more difficult.
