All components of this book are made with premium materials and are uniquely designed to make it flexible and easy to complete. Choose one of our many covers and then personalize it by adding cover accents such as a ribbon and/or plaque. You can add Additional Insert Pages to continue the story or add more information, detail, and photos.

What’s inside? Well-thought-out pages serve as a guide to spark documentation and organize memories, details, and wisdom. The prompted pages navigate through the details of important milestones, events, advice, family connections and much more, with pages for “what’s next” and the ability to add to the continuing story. Take a peek inside (PDF). A combination of screw post binding and pages that are printed only on one side allows for pages to be easily removed or rearranged without losing any detail. The backside of the pages can be used for pictures and keepsakes, or kept blank.  Our collection of Additional Insert Page packs makes it easy to add more detail and information, or to continue the story.
