ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laura Hedgecock was born in South Carolina but came to live in Michigan by way of Chicago and Germany. Leaving her career in International Business to be a stay-at-home mom and her association with non-profits led her to helping other tell their stories. Treasure Chest of Memories: How to Capture and Share the Stories of Your Life results from the intersection of Ms. Hedgecock’s experience in genealogy, photography, and scrapbooking, as well as her journey of compiling her own memories. She blogs about preserving and sharing memories at http://www.TreasureChestofMemories.com.
REVIEW
This book is a great resource for those like me who want to create a personal history but don't really know how to get started. The author starts by talking about what got her into memory keeping and reasons the rest of us might want to do so as well. She goes on to talk about the importance of making writing a part of the routine, otherwise it may never happen. She also shares lots of ideas for different methods and strategies to use in putting together one's own Treasure Chest. There are lots of ideas here that I plan to use in putting together my own memory book, starting with the brainstorming activities.
