I made a special scrapbook for my husband's 40th birthday. I think he was very surprised and touched to have a book all about him. Here are some tips if you'd like to do something similar.

• Ask family members for photos and memorabilia

I wanted to include pictures from his childhood, before I even knew him.
I made copies of the following items to include in the album:

         

• Go through family photos and chose photos depicting:

• The Two of You
• Him as a Dad (holding or playing with the kids)
• Working Around the House (Mr. Handyman!)
• Silly Pictures (Dressing up for Halloween, etc)
• Places You've Lived
• Birthdays as an Adult
• Family Pictures Through the Years (my, how we change!)
• Cars He Has Owned

 

• On the last page of the album I included a letter telling him how much fun I had making the album and how much I've enjoyed being his wife.

This is a really enjoyable type of album to put together.

It is fun to imagine what your spouse was like as a child, what made them laugh or cry, what their life was like to make them the person you love so much today.

 

Happy Scrapping!
