Photograph everyone in your household. Print your images, or find old photographs you don’t mind cutting up. Gather some old magazines and glue.
Choose an image from a magazine of somewhere you’d like to be. What could you be doing and where would you be? The beach? Ice skating?
Cut, assemble and stick everyone into your crazy family portrait. Put the image on your fridge or send it to a loved one who seems far away.
