Beautifully Crafted Memory Books To Honour, Celebrate And Remember A Life
Discover Beautiful Memory Books for Your Loved Ones
A life story book can bring comfort during times of change and provide a meaningful connection when memories begin to fade.
Turn the pages of Elizabeth’s flip book to see an example of the kind of memory book I can create for you.
Each book is lovingly handmade and tells a unique life story.
I work with family members to gather information, photographs and memorabilia, bringing everything together in a ‘This Is Your Life’ format — from birth to the present day.
The book can help your loved one reminisce about the good old days and share their life experiences with family, friends, carers and care home staff.
I’ll work alongside you to gather the memories that capture your loved one’s unique story and the people who matter most to them, creating a personalised book to share, treasure and pass down through the generations.
Each book begins with the story of your loved one’s parents —
because that is where their journey truly began.
Celebrating 60 wonderful years in a personalised memory story book !
“The book was AMAZING, Kate, and the family were completely overwhelmed by it and the way it helped Mum settle into her new surroundings.
Not only did it remind her of us all, but it helped her to interact with the staff and other residents — once again, THANK YOU so much x”

Let’s Talk About Your Idea
Every memory book begins with a simple conversation. Whether you already have a clear idea of what you’d like, or you’re simply wondering what might be possible, I’d love to hear from you.
Together, we can talk through your ideas, the memories you’d like to include and the people you’d like your book to celebrate.
Why personal memories matter ...
The magic of these books is in the personal touches you choose to share.
Little details, photographs, stories and memories come together to create something truly personal - a keepsake made especially for your loved one, rather than something off the shelf.
A lifetime of memories can become a wonderful story to share with family, friends and future generations. Imagine children and grandchildren discovering what Granny was like at school, or hearing about the adventures Grandpa had in the Army.
Sharing life stories matters
In their own words, Marie Curie say:
"We care when there is no cure, whatever the illness. We'll ease your pain, protect your dignity and support the people you love."
One of the challenges of dementia can be communication. This thoughtful article by Poppy Taylor explains how familiar memories and life stories can help people living with dementia, connect and communicate with those around them.
