I had bought one years ago when my first granddaughter was born. Since then, I have another granddaughter and wanted to make one for her also. This one is particularly nice as it has plenty of space to write things and room for some pictures. Others I have seen, have had too many weird type of questions and lots of pages for pictures, most of which came under a heading. Those kind of pictures are hard, if not impossible, to find. This is a really nice book to make for your grandchildren, something to remind them how much you love them and will continue to, once you're gone.

beautifully illustrated by Thomas Kinkade...this journal opens with "One of the most important lifelong friendships you can develop is with your grandmother" This journal of sorts will give the author an opportunity to write her thoughts and some facts that are many times not spoken; friends from school, likes and dislikes when she was growing up, info on her parents, friends, teachers, while being prompted to answer questions. This book is geared towards a God based belief, so if you are not Christian, you may want to find a different book as there are several references to religion and God. I purchased this book for several of my friends who are becoming new grandparents. Its a wonderful walk down memory lane for the author and a precious gift for your grandchild. If I were to make changes to this book I would include blank pages for other thoughts and more photos.Read full review
I became a NEW Grandmother on May 26th... I wanted this book to keep track of all of the memories associated with my new grandchild. I plan to fill one of these out for each of my grandchildren... if God Blesses me with more !! As a New Grandmother... New Parents need all kinds of help. I would also like to share an idea for grandparents to help their new children... You can help with baby costs by buying Diapers, Formula, wipes and baby supplies at 1-800-Diapers on the internet.

I helped my son and his wife "stock up" on baby essentials, which gave them one less thing to worry about !!
This one is for our granddaughter. I have ten books and each has a slight difference in my entries. I find that there is a little bit TOO much information such as my first kiss and other things that don't really add to passing on heritage. I love that there are places to tell how I came to the Lord. How girls behaved, how boys behaved. What my mother and father did and how they taught me Faith and character. I have used some of the pages to record funny things the child does and know we will laugh about them later. These pages will help them know how OUR relationship has grown.
My grandkids, 15 and 17, absolutely loved this book. It gave them an insight into my world---things that don't come up in normal conversation. It gave ME the opportunity to express my thoughts without preaching to them.
