   When I do scrapbooking, I put as many pictures and captions as I can. That way it’s easier to look back on a memory. but if u have saved ticket stubs or brochures that’s always good too. I do know people who put gifts in scrapbooks too, my cousin buys jewelry and hangs it in the scrapbook if she’s giving it as a gift. It all depends on how much your willing to give into it.

   baby pictures, family picures and write about placs you’ve been together and all the special memories you have

   make it as private and personal as you possibly can.

   go far and deep into your mind and memories — did anything embarrassing happen to you and her together as a child?
   Putting something very personal that you remember, in her scrapbook could make her smile. For instance, when I was 8 years old, I used to have this thing (which btw is coming BACK) called a PogoBall. I used to be GODLY on that.. One day mom & dad were talking in a big circle out in the yard with some friends and I thought I would be all uber and go hop around them really high and impress them all. Just when I got very high __uber__ off the ground, i fell on my ass in the CENTER of their little circle and everyone started laughing……..and all i could do amidst the embarrassment was look up at my mother and make a half-wave and say hiiiiiiii. so for years she would just look at me , wave and say hiiiiiiii. so i could put a pic of myself waving and put the caption ” h i i i i i i i i ” and she would remember, and smile.

   Or my father.. used to wake me ( and only me.. i had a twin that preferred to sleep ) up at 3am to go into the kitchen and make a bottle for one of calves. I still remember the smell of the formula. Daddy would help me hold up the heavy bottle to feed Flossy ( my calve’s name..) So I would find a picture of my dad and i feeding a calf and put ‘ Early Riser ‘ as a caption.

   Anyways. i know i elaborated — a lot. but i know that when you are designing something, your brain freezes.. I hope I have inspired you to dig very deep.

   I love quotes! Put in quotes about motherhood, family, birthdays, getting older, et cetera….

   round up pictures of her, her with her friends and family etc. from throughout her life and put captions on them…make it as personal as possible.
