Thank you for sharing. I saw it on Skip to My Lou. What a perfect way to keep a memory. Thank you for sharing. BTW, where did you find your stencil paper? Would transparent paper work as well? Please let me know. alysawhitlock@yahoo.com. I'm going to do this for my friend as a late Christmas present. Thanks. I absolutely love this piece. Thank you for sharing. I saw it on Skip to My Lou.

It's amazing how the simplest things remind us of people and how we can be recognised by our handwriting. It's strange to think about the things that we will leave behind that will mean something to others. Jade That is such a wonderful idea – you are so amazing Sandy, I would never have thought of that!

I am going to use this idea... my own mother's handwriting sample is small, but I will enlarge it and share it with my family too! Thank you for the gift this Christmas! Bless you for sharing.

My mother just passed away December 11. I put a note she quickly jotted to me on my refrigerator to remember her handwriting but this would be a great way to save it forever...or until the children break it. Thanks for this post.

My two sisters and I lost our mom to cancer 12 days ago. We found out she had cancer on the 9th, brought her home on for hospice on the 12 and lost her on the 13. It was all too fast. I've decided to photocopy her hand written recipes to make memory/cook books for my sisters and niece. I've go a year to get the done just the way I want. Mom was great about writing the name of the person she got the recipe from on the back, so we'll know which relative they were handed down from. Now that's heritage in hand writing.

Such a great way to preserve a special memory. We don't have much physically, but we always look at the old family photos around the holidays and recall the special times..most of my older relatives have passed away and I have such fond memories of them.
