    Thought I'd post the result. I went into hospital on Monday and only came out yesterday so I couldn't make it as handmade as I wanted to. I went to staples and got a display book like this.

    I bought one that had a satiny finish to it.

    Then I printed the pages off and put them in. I'll be giving it to her tonight.

    That looks brilliant and I'm sure it'll be appreciated. Wonderful idea. Think when my grandchildren leave school next year I might try and do something like that for them:T

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    My daughter is only five but I wonder if this could work for her lol Meaning I wonder if I collected advice up for her over the years to give to her when she is 16 or 18????

    Guapa1 -do you still have on your pc all the things you printed out?? It's fantastic.
