As Laura Thomas was saying to All:
 
 LT> I haven't made a memory book yet.  My girlfriend sells them.  They
 LT> start with the cardboard album.  Then you use padding and glue material
 LT> to it. You can embellish it with just about anything.  Donna made a
 LT> baby album and used a favorite outfit for the cover.  It was ADORABLE. 
 LT> Most of the craft stores in St Pete have the insert pages.  They have
 LT> all kinds of things (sports, flowers, baby stuff, holidays) to use.  I
 LT> will send a more detailed craft sheet.  I have to go to Enterprise art
 LT> and get it. 
 There are a lot of different memory book types out
 there. I know they have gotten really popular of late.
 When my grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding
 anniversary, I had a photograph graphed into x-stich 
 (when it was done it looked like an oil painting..I've
 done several of these) then my mom soft covered a notebook,
 framing the picture and then put letters into it.
 When I did a memory book it was a lot easier. I did
 cover the book. But I used stickers around the articles,
 of flowers and teddybears at the time, and left it at
 that. Didn't have the energy to do any more than that
 because I had already spent quite a bit of money on
 the project and although my brother, sister, and dad
 helped I ended up paying the most of it.
 It was worth it though.
