Dear Mum: from you to me, A Journal of a Lifetime

You will have seen great photos of your Mum when she was a young lady, but do you know what she was thinking as she posed for the camera? Yes, she really did have a life before you came along, and her life changed forever as she took on the responsibility of being a mother.

Everyone has stories to share about their own amazing life and it is so important to find ways to capture and treasure them. Dear Mum contains 60 carefully designed questions to ask her about her life. Ask her to complete it carefully, adding photos and memorabilia along the way.

Find out what her own parents were really like, where she went on holiday when she was a child, how she met your Dad and what was that special piece of music that they had ‘just for them’. What about your own relationship with her, what did she think of you as a child, what really made her proud and what advice would she give you now?

When you get her completed journal returned to you, this will be one of the most emotional presents you have ever received and will make a keepsake to be treasured forever.

A touching gift for a loved one, helping them capture their own life story and aspirations in handwriting. The Sketch Collection is available in 9 titles: Mum, Dad, Grandma, Grandad, Nan, Granny, Nana, Nanny, Grandpa.
