One problem that parents consistently run into is finding a good way to keep all of the ornaments and memorabilia from their child’s childhood. While school yearbooks can provide parents with a handful of photos from different events throughout the year, yearbooks generally fail to capture the same essence and excitement of events that took place during the academic year. If you’re looking for something a little more sentimental that you can customize for your child with whatever means the most from his or her years at school, a Penny Laine Papers memory book is perfect for you.

The 20 photo sleeves may seem like too few for any one mom, but if you think back to the number of buckets and bins containing photos that haven’t been looked at in years, 20 makes a little more sense. While you could try and cram as many photos into the memory book as possible, it would take away some of the sentimentality of different events and milestones in a child’s life. Instead, 20 is the perfect number to pick and choose the best photos from different events and put them together in an organized fashion. The two full page sleeves at the back of the memory book can also prove useful if your child brings home a cute journal entry or a piece of artwork you’d like to preserve for years to come.

We heard from a first grade teacher a few weeks ago who wanted to tell us about her purchase of one of our memory books. After purchasing a memory book for her own daughter and falling in love with the idea of a memory book, Miss Davis decided to purchase one for her first grade class as well. Ms. Davis purchased a bulk order of first grade books and keeps them under her desk in the classroom. Each year, as she gets new students, she takes photos throughout the year and keeps a memory book of each class she’s taught. “My daughter loved helping me put her memory book together for her first year in school, so I got to thinking. The school’s yearbook was always a little poor in quality, so I decided that instead of leaving the school’s book to try and remind me of each class I’ve had, I’d get Penny Laine Paper’s memory books for my class. I ended up seeing the offer to buy 4 at a time when I was checking out, and took advantage of it. I not only saved money, I can now keep track of all of my students for years to come”

If you’ve purchased one of these beautiful memory books and have a story to share, we’d love to hear it. It’s always great to hear that a customer loved one of our products and that we helped them capture something special.
