Write a book…

by Michelle Brownlow

There are many stories your family has written already. But they most likely are not written down - just spoken off the top of your head. The story about Daddy walking through the fresh cement or when Mommy dropped the birthday cake onto the kitchen floor.

Write these stories down with your children and archive them in hardcopy book form! This is easier than you think.

Snapfish.com has a great memory book project that allows you to upload photos right into book form. You can change the layout and add words. It is a wonderful gift to commemorate a date or for your little ones to remember a funny family moment.

Don’t have pictures of the cake falling to the ground? No problem, you can scan in drawings, too. Have your budding illustrators do the work and VOILA!

You can order these in any quantity. A great idea for each season!

    This is my first time visiting your blog. I am always looking for craft ideas for myself and for my future-artist daughter. You have some great ideas.

About Creative Mom Cafe

Creative Mom Cafe is the place to come and try your hand at something you thought you could never do or to get an idea you would never have had on your own. Most of the ideas I bring to 'the Cafe' are simple and for the creativity-challenged but every now and then I will throw in a doozie for those of you who are waiting for it. Every month will have a theme and all ideas that month will tie in to that theme. It may be fun recipes for kids, a scrapbooking idea, an organizational tip or anything else that is in my head that month. I invite you to send your photos of projects you have done and at the end of the month I will highlight one or two "fan" projects! Thanks, stop in the Cafe as often as you can!
