Hi, I’m Cindy.
More than 25 years ago I began scrapbooking, making personalized, colorful books for myself, family, & friends. I still love to create memories. A handmade book is more personalized than a digital book, with your keepsakes in the book, rather than a box in the closet.
I end every conversation with my son...
“Love You Bug”.
Special Occasions
College Memories
School Days
Holidays
Pets
Vacations
First Home
Retirement

In Memory of
ANYTHING that is special to you or your loved ones.
A true scrapbook allows you to preserve more than just photos. A digital book does not leave room for adding mementos that are special to you.
Weddings, showers, & party invitations
Flower petals from your wedding
Boarding passes from your honeymoon flight
A newspaper from the day your child was born
Certificates, Awards, Special Notes
Dedicated space to journal your personal thoughts
Birth announcements, hospital bracelet, baby’s nursery name card
The speech your mom or dad gave at your wedding
The handprints your child made for you for Mother’s Day
The possibilites are endless!

Should I journal the memories in my scrapbook?
Journaling or providing your thoughts about an event or a specific picture in your book is a personal preference. For me, it adds character and elaborates on the story of the picture. In my personal books sometimes I write about the picture or event, and other times I don’t. When I go back and look at books from years gone by, read something I’ve written about... it really does bring back vivid memories and reminds me of this special event.
Our handwriting is 100% unique to each of us. My grandmother passed away in 2013 at 95 years old. When I see a memory of Nanna, my mind’s eye envisions her handwriting, which evokes SO MANY memories of the love I have for her and the influence that she had on me.
When we talk about your thoughts on your book, we can discuss more about this if it is something you might be interested in including.
