I used my Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian collection and this is a selection of the pages, I won't bore you with them all - I apologise for the quality of the photographs, the sun could not make it's mind up whether to stay in or out!

Mum's Memory Book
My Mum will be 92 years old on Thursday, she has vascular dementia and her memory is getting really bad now so I decided to make a photo album to help her remember some of our more recent holidays together.

Sad to see our loved ones drift into a world of their own and I think this is a wonderful idea and hopefully something she can look through to remember you all.xxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo album Pauline I know that your mum will love it a hope she enjoys memories of the holiday
ReplyDeleteFabulous project Pauline...it will be a real memory reviver for your Mum...I hope you get to see her on her birthday even if you can’t have a hug....
ReplyDeleteIt’s raining...yes actual rain...we need a week of it really but at least it will damp down the pollen and I may stop sneezing for a bit...take care xxxx
Hi
ReplyDeleteI love the album, I did something similar for my mum when she had trouble remembering who her family was. Not only was it good for her but it helped carers and visiting family as they had something to do with her. I'm new to this blogging malarkey but will be visiting your page often. PS - I live just down the road in Romsey.
A fantastic Album Pauline and such a great idea for your Mum too. I'm sure that she is going to love this.

A beautiful memory book Pauline that will give your mother hours of pleasure - it is always hard to see our loved ones suffering with any form of dementia, and suffer they do!
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

What a lovely thing to make for your mother. I'm sorry to hear she has dementia. That is a hard disease and robs them of so much. This will help her remember all the good times with her family. That is so thoughtful of you.

Hi Pauline
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and thoughtful gift for your Mum. I bet she will enjoy looking through that .. .. over and over again.
I love the paper set you have used and the sentiment on the front is just perfect.
A beautiful project for a very special birthday girl! I hope she has a lovely birthday.
Love Jules xx
I made a book of photos for my mother as she became lost to her reality too many years ago and she often had it in her hands when I visited her. It's beautiful and sure to have special meaning quite often. Beautiful creation and a very happy birthday to your mum!

Dear Pauline, I'm immensely sorry about your mother's health issues. We lost my MIL to a stroke brought on my early onset Alzheimer's back in September 2013, so I can relate in part to the difficulties and challenges that you and your family are experiencing with your sweet mom.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an immensely thoughtful, gorgeous gift and way to help your mom remember some of your wonderful times spent together.
