    Thanks all - just about to head to my mums, thought I would put up some pics of the book before I go - thanks to those who gave me inspiration for the motifs, I haven't been able to use any of the full sized ones but I have used some as a guide then made them smaller.

    Hopefully this spells it out for people - I didn't want a book full of condolences (cards do that) I want people to share the good memories so we can all read it one day and smile.

    Inside I have a quote on every page, and the first 5 pages have things from my mum, siblings and I written in.

    Louise - that is really lovely. I hope that it will be filled with lovely memories that bring you comfort in the future.
    (My mums work made us a memorial book when she passed away, full of old photos and stories, and although it was hard to look at at first, I find comfort in looking at it from time to time).
    Will be thinking of you tomorrow.
    (((hugs)))
