The Creative Memories Way

Rhonda Anderson, Cheryl Lightle. Waterbrook Press, $17.99 (176pp) ISBN 978-1-57856-481-1

""What are you doing to create a legacy your descendants will cherish tomorrow?"" ask Cheryl Lightle and Rhonda Anderson, cofounders of Creative Memories, one of the world's largest organizations dedicated to scrapbooking (they prefer the term ""album making""). Their book, The Creative Memories Way: Creating Keepsake Albums and Building Your Family Legacy, shows readers how to preserve their photographs, memorabilia and journal entries for future generations. It also encourages them to be creative about recording their lives: to write a bio-poem for each of their children, for example, or to make ""tribute albums"" to mark special occasions such as a wedding or a milestone birthday. Geared for the beginner, this accessible guide with many references to church traditions, will help many people to create keepsake albums to cherish. (Mar.)
