Experiences Worth Remembering and Sunday Letters

One of the neatest books I've been able to make was a Christmas order for a friend in California. She had contacted all of her cousins, aunts, and uncles, and asked them to record some of their favorite memories (and anything else they wanted to share) about their grandparents. Then she compiled all the stories, plus pictures, into a book for the grandparents. I had the honor of making the covers and binding it together.


The title page of the book: Out of respect for the family's privacy, I am not posting any pictures of the pages inside the book, but Jenny did a great job of putting it together. It was almost 90 pages (8.5x11) long and even included her own design of their family tree!

Jenny was not only busy putting "Experiences Worth Remembering" together, but she was also busy writing her husband weekly letters. This was the second book I made for her, which she titled, "Sunday Letters."It was neat to be able to work on something that someone else had spent hours of time and energy on to make it so special. She provided the cover paper, and the document text, and I provided her with the finished product. Great teamwork. Thanks Jenny!
