Family Keepsake Journal Printable | Heirloom Stories, Photos and Family Memories | 16-Page PDF

Some treasures matter because of the person who held them.

A NOTE FROM THE CREATOR Being a mom and experiencing sickness are part of what inspired me to create this book. I wanted a place to write down why certain things matter - the person connected to them, the memory they hold, and the story my family might not otherwise know. I hope these pages help you preserve the stories behind your own treasured things.

The Stories Behind Our Keepsakes gives your family a place to preserve the memories behind jewelry, quilts, photographs, handwritten recipes, letters and everyday treasures. Add a photo or sketch, tell where an item came from, and record why it matters.
