The beauty of them is that they can be as simple or as elaborate as you like, which often depends on how much time you can spare.<br /><br />I'll look forward to getting your feedback on my book, Granny's Guide to Fun & Fabulous Family Stories.

But there are other ideas that you might try as well.<br /><br />One quick idea is to get a photo album that has sleeves for pictures. Just slip in a group of photos and intersperse them with a few mementoes (such as ticket stubs, flyers, postcards, etc.) and/or journaling, either hand written or printed on your computer.<br /><br />That gives you a relatively fast & easy way to preserve your memories without spending a great deal of time or effort.Beth (Elizabeth) LaMiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526119783012440523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938772213014349049.post-31437469639124434802009-08-11T13:01:47.124-05:002009-08-11T13:01:47.124-05:00Thanks, Beth for the great idea you've given m...Thanks, Beth for the great idea you've given me to combine a story with a card. Our adult son's birthday is Sunday, so I am now writing the story of his 8th birthday. I've scanned in a photo from the event. Now I'll combine them for the finished product. AND with a deadline looming, I have to finish it to mail!<br /><br />I just received your book so I'm starting "one bite at a time."Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631035111527746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938772213014349049.post-85199950453600814642009-08-08T10:48:44.684-05:002009-08-08T10:48:44.684-05:00Thanks for all this info, Beth!

Or some way to outsource the shopping and cutting and gluing and still capture family memories in a form that others will want to spend time looking at?Patty Newboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896291280740265521noreply@blogger.com
