Earlier this year our 2 sons and 4 grand children the oldest 16 yrs and the youngest just 18 months, were around for a bite to eat and a few drinks. not often we get them all in one place these days.
We were having a great time and as can happen at these occasions stories of growing up, living abroad and many things about us and our family were being shared to much enthusiasm and hilarity. :Blush:
anyway! the next day our 16 year old grandson turned up with a scrapbook; a blank one at that. he said he had really enjoyed listening to the stories of the family the evening before and please could we write down for him " everything " we could remember about our family, our growing up, and add some photos please. as he would love to know more.
my first reaction was a feeling of pride that he really wanted to know more :thumb: then having agreed to give it a shot, i realised this was not an easy task
so far i have written 40 + pages and gathered many photographs but the scrapbook is still empty oh: i have done the notes on Microsoft Office Word.
what i need is some ideas of how i can collate this in some form book that is deserving of his interest. i have looked at some scrapbook software but most seem to be focused around photos with a few captions. i really would like something that i can add the photos into the script and looks half decent.
any ideas :thumb:
