I would love to make book for my mom of the grandkids for Christmas.
I'd love to start the story of our little family.
this is a touchy one for me. I would LOVE to have one made about my daddy and my son for my son. My dad passed away 17 days before meeting my son and he was sooooo looking forward to his first biological grandchild.....that he never got to meet. My son is SOOOO much like his Pop and I would love to share the story of his Pops love with him. :(
I'd like to put something together in honor of my dad who passed at the end of June. He was such a special man and had a huge sense of humor so there are lots of fun pictures of him for the book. He would get such a kick out of this and somehow, I think he'd see it anyhow.
