We’ve all written at some point in our lives. Many of us have kept journals - whether for personal, therapeutic, or historical purposes. Even those that don’t write have favourite stories to tell.

Technically speaking, to be a published author, all you need is a published book. A bound and printed copy that you can hold in your hands. Not everyone who wants to create a book is looking to get into the professional side of publishing. You might be happy to go it alone as an indie author, or you might be wanting to create something personal as a gift to yourself or a loved one. If that sounds like you, here are some routes you can take to create a book.

In honour of International Women’s Day which occurred on 8th March, and National Women’s History Month being celebrated throughout March, we’ve thought about some of the women who inspire us. We all have a woman close to us who inspires us – our mum, grandma, partner, sister, aunt or friend, for example. But there are so many inspirational famous women that are looked up to as role models too. It got us wondering, what would the Memory Books of these women look like?

Caring for someone living with dementia is incredibly hard, and can often be lonely, for both yourself and the person you are caring for. A Dementia Memory Book can be a therapeutic tool and a rewarding activity to combat loneliness. Not just for your loved one, but also for you.

There’s still plenty of time to create a unique, personalised Mother’s Day gift to show your mum how much you care, with a little helping hand from us!

Well… nothing! It’s changed a bit with the times, but people still love scrapbooking. Most people don’t even realise that they are doing it! If you’ve ever made a photo book using an online tool then you’ve scrapbooked too - probably without even knowing it.

Passing down family heirlooms is an age-old tradition. We’ve come up with a few unique family heirloom ideas that you can create to be passed down to younger generations, helping to keep your treasured family memories alive for longer.

What a strange year it’s been – whether you loved it or hated it, it’s been a moment in history. I write this blog in the hope and belief that we’ll go many years without a repeat. I’m proposing that what happened this year was something we will look back on as a ‘moment in time’ . . . a truly noteworthy moment. And in that spirit I’m creating a 2020 Memory book . . . and I think you should too!

Drawing on your nostalgic memory bank when you are feeling lonely or low can be a great tool, especially in these colder, darker wintery days. The warm glow of nostalgia will help boost your mood, and may motivate you to get in touch with family and friends and enjoy a heart-warming, nostalgic chat reliving memories and swapping stories.

Bring a smile to your grandparents face with the perfect present: a personalised memory book. With it sadly looking more likely you won’t be able to visit your grandparents this festive season then you’ll probably be racking your brain to think of the ideal gift to show them how much you care, what they mean to you, and that you are missing them. A personalised memory book does exactly that.

2020 has been a memorable year, that’s for sure! With our second UK lockdown underway, it got us thinking. Just because you’re keeping a safe distance from your family and friends at the moment, that doesn’t mean that you can’t still be making memories with them!

Memory Books are great whether you are writing your own life story or about the life of someone you love or respect, or capturing a momentous event in your life or your latest holiday.
