For people with memory loss, the
inability to remember simple things
such as a daughter’s phone number
can be frustrating. To help, pair family
photos with contact details in a simple
address-book format. The result: an easyto-navigate resource that can help jog a
loved one’s recall when family members’
names slip their minds. Include birthday
or anniversary dates to make this multifunction album even more useful. Don’t
be surprised if you like it so much that you
make one for yourself, too!
Photo Phonebook is from Preserving Their Stories: Scrapbooking the Lives of Those
With Memory Loss (Leisure Arts Book #4829). Preserving family memories is a universal
hobby that presents a special challenge for families with loved ones experiencing
memory loss, such as from Alzheimer’s disease. This ground-breaking guidebook
from the editors of Creating Keepsakes scrapbook magazine provides a wealth of
effective ideas to help individuals, families, and caregivers. It’s loaded with advice on
how to gather memories from various sources and have meaningful conversations
with memory loss sufferers. In addition to the Photo Phonebook, projects include
memory prompts, such as a daily journal, a guest book, puzzles, and games, plus
informative layouts, such as a family tree, family recipe book, daily routine schedule,
and albums that identify grandchildren and other loved ones. Ask for Preserving
Their Stories at stores nationwide or find it online at www.TheLeisureBoutique.com.
