For christmas this year I bought my Grandmother this book and enclosed a letter asking her to go down memory lane and share her feelings with me. The questions in the book are wonderful. I would love to know more than anything on how my grandmother felt growing up herself, and the feelings she had for me on the first time she held me.The book also allows her to pick out and insert her two favorite pictures of us together. Well detailed questions such as how motherhood affected herself, what she felt on her wedding day, and what she liked about being in her 20's, 30's 40's. The most important question/response I think I am looking forward to hear from her are the goals she hopes that I will acheive and her dreams she has for my future.I think this is the perfect gift to give to oneself. I explained to her in my letter that this is a gift that I will cherrish a lifetime, and I thanked her for sharing her own memories with me.I recomend it to anyone who wants to be closer to their grandmother and to their family history as well.
I did a Thomas Kinkade memory book for my mother.. it was wonderful and she loved the gift... so I bought these for Christmas for all the grandparents since we just had our first child... however, none of the reviews or information about the book indicated that it is really a religious memory book -- the secondary title is something about faith.Not only is it religious, but assumes that the father in each home works and the mother stays at home.. there are questions for the grandmothers about what their mother did at home while the father worked, and what they did at home while their husband worked. My grandmother served as a doctor for the military in WWII, and she was never at home. Neither was my mother at home.I am making no judgement here. If you come from both a very religious background (the questions center around religion) and also a very traditional family structure, this is a great book. It is, however, nothing like the other Thomas Kinkade books and a true disappointment for people like myself.
I saw this book on the shelf and immediately knew I wanted it for my Mother. Before I wrapped it, I read through the beautifully decorated pages, and realized that I wanted it for myself. Alas, they were sold out at the store. I knew that this book would be something that I would want to fill out and give to my grandchild (or grandchildren). I don't have any yet, but most of this book I can write now. This is a lovely book for Christians who want to share their experiences, strengths, and hopes with their future generations. Thank you to Thomas Kinkaid for another truly wonderful book. And thanks to .com I am getting one for myself!
My Wife and I purchased the whole set of Thomas Kiinkade "Memory" books for our children and grandchildren. Wh have found that our family history does not get passed down to the next generations because we are all so busy. There are many losses in family knowledge because of this.These books are excellent! They trigger ideas and stories. Our talking about those memberes of our family who have died allow us to also remember them as we saw them. We can give our children a taste of what it was like when we were kids. Unfortunately, we have lost much of the family knowledge because we never heard the stories of our grandparents.Beautiful pictures are also included in these books. Well done!
I love these books. I have gotten one for every single grandparent in our family. Love all the beautiful pictures and wonderful scriptures it contains. It has so many questions that I wouldn't have thought to ask them. It is also so fun and interesting to hear their responses. We are getting quality time now when we go through the pages and will be able to look back on these memories long after they are gone. I recommend everyone getting one for their Grandparents.
my grandmother filled this out for my cousin before she died, i just read it 7 years later and was tearing up reading all the wonderful memories. i feel like i know her so much better after reading and it answered many questions I didnt think to ask while she was alive. I just bought it for my other grandmother to fill out. it is such a treasure.
I heard about this book and wanted to get it for my sister who is going to be a first Grandmother around Christmas 2013. I had gone on another website and also found the book and they said it was in mint condition, but it had been written in by another grandmother. I was so disappointed because I really wanted this book, and so I again saw it on your website and could not have been happier. It arrived very quickly and was in beautiful condition (no marks, no writings or dents). I will definitely order from and their affiliates again. Thank You
My grandmother is one of those ladies that has it all and this makes it so hard to shop for her. But she was at a loss for words when she opened this gift. It really is a great way to say, "Tell me your legacy." I can't wait to read what she writes, and to keep it forever.
