Grandma Tell Me Your Story - Keepsake Journal

This was probably the best gift I've ever given to my grandma. It asks all of the questions that we never think to ask, but really should know. One of my favorite things about this book is that the pages aren't numbered. It goes so into depth that there are going to be prompts that don't apply. Or questions that aren't appropriate. It's nice to be able to say, "feel free to remove any pages that don't apply" This book seems to be geared towards a grandmother that is still married to grandfather. In my case, my grandmother is divorced and the relationship was abusive. But even if grandma is still married, there was a question that struck us both. It was to the effect of: who was the love of your life that got away? That's a pretty uncomfortable question if you are married. I'm sure most would say, I am with the love of my life. But still. If this book is given to grandma, from a very young grandchild then there's a few questions that shouldn't be answered lol. And there's questions that won't be understood by young children. You have to decide before you start writing, if you are writing this for all ages to see, or for adults to see. That will really effect the book as a whole. Either way it's still gonna be a great book. All in all this is an amazing book. It's very well made and I can tell it will last a very long time. I recommend buying a special marker or pen with no acidity so it never fades. Keep in mind that this book will take a very long time to finish. It could very well take over a year to finish depending how much can be finished. And how concentrated they are. I find myself asking grandma how she's doing on it from time to time because I am so excited to see the result. Prompts for pictures alone will take a very long time. My grandma has boxes and boxes of pictures but she was saying "oh I'll have to contact so and so for this picture, and this person for that picture, etc." This gift is amazing because it shows grandma how much you care about her life, and it gives family the gift of seeing their ancestor as a person, rather than a face or name on the tree. I know very very little about my great grandparents. In this day and age less and less of the details get passed on. My mother loved her grandmother so much and talked about how devistated she was when she died. But I never knew WHY she was devistated. I didn't know my great grandma as a person. Now that I'm an adult, and I think about how much I love my grandma, I want my own children to know why the world would be a less great place without her. Knowing more than just my experiences with her is something that has no price. My grandma wants her sister to have one of these books, but thinks it wouldnt be right coming from anywhere else but her grandchildren. Her grandchildren have distanced themselves from her and she's very sad about that. For what it's worth, I think this would be a great gift from anyone, and even if you wanted to get it for yourself. It's more of a gift to your family than to yourself. And it would be greatly loved after your gone no matter how distanced you are from loved ones. Thats my opinion for what it's worth. I know it might seem silly to buy it for yourself, but coming from a grandchild... I would deeply cherish coming across this.

My wife and I just became grandparents for the first time, (thank you for the applause :-) ! ), and my wife's birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I wanted something different, we're in our early 60's after all. I was hesitant on getting a 'gift' of this type, but just seemed to be right.. I looked at others on the Amazon page and it got confusing, just couldn't find one that I thought would work until I found this, and I'm glad I did. This book is perfect, from it's home type of cover, to the questions and space inside to write, supply photos and a history of the family. There are more pages than a standard 'baby-book', at least 75 double sided pages, with every question from when and where "grandma" was born, to where grandma's parents were from (history of family). This is the BEST BOOK I'VE EVER SEEN like this. Questions concern "grandma's best friends, what the music was like, television shows (and whether or not grandma had one growing up), through school years, and first loves (along with the "one that got away"), meeting "grandpa", ... first car ride, favorite foods, ... them get's into even a political question, president at the time of grandma's birth, her first vote and for who, ... first pets, ... everything and almost anything a child would want to ask, just wouldn't be able to come up with in the form of asking questions. And NO, ... asking if grandma was a 'virgin' when she married grandpa, as well as what it was like the first time "she did it", are not in this book. A grand-child will have enough to read without causing stomach upset and perhaps vomiting! I mean really, ... can anyone reading this review actually picture their grandparents "doing it"? YUK! It's as complete as I could ever imagine, and illustrated too. Grandma will be spending weeks, perhaps months writing in this book. It's not for the "jot down of notes", ... this is a serious, extended book. If "Grandma" is ever able to complete it fullt correctly, with serious thought and entries, ... a grandchild will know more about "grandma" then any other family member knows, INCLUDING "GRANDPA"!!

I've done one of these for each of my grandkids. Imagine my dismay when I realized I hadn't done one for my granddaughter who is visiting in July! This is the most thorough, thought provoking, story invoking book of the five I've done! I recommend it highly to all grandmas!

Beautiful book! Ordered 2 for the grandmas and they are going to love them. I was shocked at how nice they are for so inexpensive. Bigger than I thought too! Might buy another for the other grandma!

These are fantastic to buy for your mother to fill out for your children or to fill out for your own grandchildren. SO many great story starters. My grandmother filled out a similar one for me before she passed away in 2005 and it is something I treasure and get out every holiday for her recipes. At her funeral people enjoyed looking through the book to read the stories she wrote and the pictures she pasted into it for me. I think everyone should do this because grandparents seem to die too soon (not that there's ever a good time) but I was young and busy with small children and I know that I have thought of so many questions I wish I would've asked. This book is priceless and my daughter has enjoyed looking at mine that my grandma filled out for me and she asked me to get one for her grandma too! I highly recommend this type of book! :)

This is perfect. I bought this for my moms best friend who is my sons “grandma” because my mom passed away a few years before he was born. She is an amazing grandma to him and I know my mom would be happy to share the title of grandma with her. She is going to love this book. The book itself is sturdy, well put together and the pages are thick enough to not worry about the ink bleeding through to the next page. There are a lot of great starter topics that she will enjoy writing about and sharing with my little Mr. Man. I love the little quotes thrown in every now and again, and the last page is PERFECT for this grandma as she is always stating “that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!” I can’t give this book enough stars as I think it is absolutely perfect for any Grandma and their precious little grand babies no matter what the age. I wish my grandparents had something like this to pass to us. Although I do have many many precious memories of them Having a book like this would be awesome

I selected this particular book because a grandchild had reviewed it online and said it addressed many areas of interest to her about her grandmother and also provided lots of room for her grandmother’s additional thoughts of herself. The review held true! This book allows me to really tell my grandchildren things about myself that I hadn’t considered because the prompts are interesting. It is also bound in a lovely, decorative cover with animations throughout that are eye appealing . This book is wonderful !

This book is WAY too much. Even though I barely got any refund, I am still returning it, because I'd rather spend time with my grandchild, interacting, than writing long essays. Also, some of the questions were, in my opinion, too invasive. It's not like life should be sugar-coated, but some things are private and should not be shared. Not for me.

Absolutely lovely! I can't wait to get started on it for my grandchildren! It would have been nice if it would have arrived with that not-so-easy-to-remove sticker on the front cover. I don't know if it was the work of the publisher, or at the request of the author/illustrator, but a great big "thank you" to the one who decided to leave the unsightly mark on the book.

I gave this to a friend, who is a fan of Susan Branch's products/newsletter, and she was all smiles upon opening her gift. My only disappointment in the book is the limited questions and over abundance of space to comment. Other books I have seen contain many more questions, but went with Branch's book mainly due to the artwork and lovely cover.

I bought three of these as Mother's Day gifts. They were just beautiful! The covers were very nice and the pages nice and thick. I gave my Grandfather something similar when I was a little girl and now that he's gone it is one of our family's greatest treasures. Even his children learned things about him they never knew. All of the Grandma's were thrilled with their gifts.

I got this for my daughter-in-law who just became a first time grandmother. She will get to tell her story to her granddaughter and this book will be used for years as she can also tell stories of things she and the child do together over the years. I think this is a book that you give the grandchild when they have grown up.

Bought this as a gift to give to my grandmother on Christmas. Very pleased with the product. A lot larger than I thought it was going to be, and higher quality than I thought it was going to be. Love the large spaces for her to write in-depth stories about her life. I think it will take her many, many months to complete this book.

My mom says that she loves this and has been working on filling this out whenever she gets a chance to write. Lots of great topics :)

I am SO PLEASED WITH THIS ITEM! I actually ordered two versions. The tea cup one and the hummingbird one for both grandmothers! They’re MUCH larger than expected and such a good layout! I cannot wait to see these books completed and pass them on to my daughter one day.

I absolutely love this book and would highly recommend it for a Mother's Day gift or gift in general. It really helps share the memories and pass on loved ones stories and traditions. I bought this book and my mother-in-law my mother and my grandmother's. It lets them show their personality and tell their story and you can pass it down to generations and generations. The questions are perfect it gives you enough Space to Write all the things that you want for each question. I also would recommend buying the grandfather of one as well.

I thought it would be a good idea to give as a gift to my mother and mother in law, but sad to say they looked in it and never took the time to write in it. I would love to read their life stories but it just sits there collecting dust. They're easy to answer questions, good quality materials, but unfortunately wasn't used. May be a good gift for those who love to write and want to write in it often.

So excited for my mom to fill this out for my daughter! I wish I had one from my grandma. My daughter and I will definitely enjoy reading the answers and will cherish it forever.

Very nice quality book! I wish I would have had a book like this for my Grandpa to fill out before he passed on.....Wonderful questions and I know I will appreciate this book for generations to come!!

Overall, this was a really nice memory book. Thoughtful questions, lots of space to write, and love the sweet quotes throughout. Although, I would recommend reading through it first, just to make sure there aren't any questions you're not comfortable asking your Grandma about. I did have to tear out a few pages- mostly just for personal family reasons (questions about grandpa, first love, etc. My grandparents got divorced so I felt like that would be a little awkward). Other than that, very pretty and I'm excited to read my Grandma's stories!

This is only a good gift if your grandmother likes writing essays. Extremely long places for answers. I doubt she’ll ever write in it because it resembles a blank notebook. I would definitely not purchase this one again.

I love this grandma history book. Beautiful! Great for the grandmothers and granddaughters, but to pinky for grandsons, which I realized after I got it. That’s the reason for only 4 stars. Suggest a more neutral style.

Loved this journal. I filled it out for my granddaughter. I enjoyed working through this book, made me very nostalgic remembering back to my youth and up to present day. I filled the last few pages with family photos. When she opened it, she was very touched, I highly recommend it.

This was a great purchase. My mother in law was so happy when she got this so that she could share her life with her grandson! I love all of the different topics that she can contribute to - it’s not all just freeform writing - there are topics for her to write about which is nice that it’s layed out for her!

I bought this as a gift for a family member who became a grandma for the first time. She absolutely loves it. She said it was her favorite gift that she got for the occasion.

My grandmother is experiencing some mild dementia, and I'm excited to go through the questions in this book with her and my children to have a legacy for them to remember their wonderful great-grandmother. I know it's not exactly how the book is intended, but I think it'll work. It's really a beautiful book and although not hardbound, it's got a sturdy cover that seems closer to hard than soft (if that makes any sense.)

I bought this for my grandmas christmas gift. I just got it in the mail, in great shape. It is so nice, and I just wanted something that I can have that she wrote, for whenever shes gone as she is getting older. It is better than what I expected.

This book is set up with a number of questions you can answer to share memories of your childhood and lifetime milestones. A wonderful gift to give to your grandchild.

While this could someday because a cherished family heirloom, it’s A LOT for the grandma to fill out. Make sure she has extra time on her hands!

Susan Branch's usual cute lettering and drawings. There are a lot of prompts to get your memories on paper. I am taking my time, completing a few at a time.

I read through this before gifting it to my grandmother and I absolutely love all of the questions! I know this is going to be a priceless memory. She was very excited to start filling it out. If you have a grandmother that you love dearly you should buy this for them.

I gave this to my Grandmother and she said she loved it! It's like a baby book for older people. I cant wait to read it.

Excellent gift. Found that recipients were not writing and sat like lead balloon. Recommend talking to Grandma first.

Great for the price which was $9. It's a hard back thick book. Lots of questions. Bought 3 for grandma's to cherish their memories when they are no longer around to tell them to us.

We got this as a gift for my mom for her first mother’s day as a grandma and she absolutely loved it!

What a precious keepsake book for those grand babies. I ordered some for my Grammy friends too!

My one daughter bought me this for Christmas and I decided to but two more for the other two families with my grandkids. It will take me awhile to complete them but it will leave my grandkids a piece of me.

i wish i had known about this before my grandfather passed. there are so many questions i would have never thought to ask. im glad i was able to get this for my grandma for mothers day. i will treasure it forever and pas it down in my family.

Exactly what I wanted. It has questions that I wouldn't have thought of to write about. I highly recommend this book.

Great gift for grandmas! Lots of space to answer questions. I give this book often! I have it myself and love filling in the pages.

My grandmother cried upon receiving this for Christmas. I told her i want it for Christmas next year, complete with all of her memories.

I gave this book to a treasured friend who had been very kind to me in the past. She is nearly eighty and has a sound mind and lots of memories to share w/ her grandchildren.

Have not written yet but love the book and whole pkg.

I bought this for my grandma so I’d have a keepsake and info into my family history. I think she is enjoying answering all these questions and passing recipes down to her grandkids.

My mom seemed really excited to get this for Christmas last year. Cannot wait for the kids to get it back from her.

I love this book! It provides enough room for long stories and details and is bigger than any others like this I had found. I will cherish the day my daughter can have this book when her grandmother isn’t here anymore.

Love this! I ordered 8, one for each grandchild

I bought two of these books - one for each grandmother. The books are beautiful and have a really nice cover. The downside was the book came with a sticker on the cover, like you'd see in a bookstore, and wasn't easy to peel off.

Good questions, lots of space for Grandma to write, great gift

Very cool little keepsake

These are nice but way!!! To long!!!! Grandma can't finish these in her lifetime, unfortunately...

Purchased as gifts. I'm sure they will love them. Perfect condition. Thanks.

So nice

Makes a great gift for grandma to fill out and hand down to grandchildren. Worth the money.

I am honestly shocked by the quality of this book. It is alot more then I expected. The cover is great quality tons of pages (124) I think my kiddos grandmother will really enjoy it!

I haven't started mine yet but liked it so well I decided to get another as a gift for a friend for Christmas. Very well put together.

My mother loved this gift.

Gave as a baby shower gift for a former co-worker who was a first time grandma to be.

This asks the best questions! Will be ordering more! My mother loved it and is very excited to fill it out!

a wonderful way to pass on family memories. Lots of space for notes and picture.

Got this and was surprised at the quality. Looks great.

So excited to give this to my mother in law! I even ordered one for my great grandmother to fill out for me.

My 92 year old Grandma was so happy with this, LOL, she said it will take 2 years to finish!

Cute book for learning about your family. Very well made.

Beautiful book

Purchased this as a gift for a new grandmother and she said it was the "best gift i've ever gotten" - i think that says it all!

Adorable! Asks a lot of great questions. Great quality for price.

Thanks

Very nice quality!

I love this. I felt a little silly buying this since I am 31 but I am so lucky to still have my grandma with me. I love the questions and can't wait to read her answers and discuss her life :)

sturdy

I purchased this for my mother in law as a gift for Mother's Day, she loved it!!! This is a great gift for any grandmother or if you want to leave to your grandchildren. I wish I had one from my grandma, because I cherish the letters she wrote. This takes that to the next level.

A nice way to tell your grandchildren YOUR story of life. Also room for photos and extra writing to keep the memories alive.

I looove the silly and serious questions in this book. Absolutely amazing idea. Gave it to my mom to fill out for my daughter. She loves reminiscing while writing to her granddaughter

I love this. I wish there was one for everyone in the family.

Beautiful!!!!

such a thoughtful gift grandma loved it very heavy and good quality

Perfect for Mother’s Day or grandparents day. What a great thing to have for memories and information once loved ones are gone.

Beautiful!!! quality is top notch. definitely would buy again

It is really heavy duty and beautiful!

This is sooooooo cool!! I can not wait to read all my Grandmother writes to fill these pages Love this!!! Wht a cool and priceless idea!!

Gave these books to my mother, mother in law, and grandma as a Mother's Day gift. They loved them, they are going to fill them out and give them back to our kids once they're done. It's an easy way to know things they might not specifically tell us if not asked. Love them.

I loved this! I hit for my mom when my daughter was born she's already filling it out 😊

Very cute. Something all grandmas should do for her grandchildren

Every grandma should try something like this to leave memories. Just need to take the time. The pages were wonderful and the hard bound book will keep for a long time.

Beautiful cover, way nicer then I even thought. Arrived fast.

Has great questions inside, great gift for grandma :)

love it for my grand daughter

Great gift, so many questions of things you wouldn't normally think of but wished you had. Can't wait to share it with my family. Love it

I love this book. It's very thorough asks a ton of questions.

Item arrived damaged - the corner of the book is all busted in. This was supposed to be a gift but can’t give it now, so incredibly disappointed!!

Excellent story starters Really cute

I got the mom version as a gift and it’s amazing to share memos. I know buy these as gifts

Great gift and legacy for grandchildren.

Such a great idea, my grandmother loved filling it out, and I will cherish it forever. Can't wait to read it to my kids one day.

Sweet book.

Great book for expecting grandmothers

Wonderful gift for my Mother from her Grandchildren! Good Quality book!

Just what we wanted

This was a gift. It was the perfect item for a new Grandmother

I purchased this as a gift & she absolutely loved it & got teary eyed over how wonderful a gift it was.

Satisfaction A+ especially with the price

It is lovely.

Love the book

Purchased for first-time grandma as a gift @ baby shower

A gift for my sister-in-law who just became a Grandma

Large, and great quality! Good questions too.

Grandma loved it!

Great memories for kids.

Love learning all about my grandmother's life. So many pages to complete. Will be a great keepsake.

Love this gift I got for my mother. The product quality is exactly what I was picturing,

So many pages with beautiful quotes and artwork. Also, I love how big the actual book is and how many questions the books asks. I gave this to my Mother in law and another one (same one but hydrangeas on front) to my Mother for Mother's Day from my daughter and they both loved it!

LOVE this book. My Grandma has been writing away. It is so important to keep these stories going for generations to come. Thank you to the creators of this book.

My grandmothers loved it, my great aunts loved it and my cousins are all jealous that I got to be the good child for once. LOL

Got this as a personal present for my grandma- she was a bit overwhelmed by all the questions. After I told her to take her time writing she was excited and loved revisiting her memories!

My mother-in-law loves it!

It is designed to elicit as much information as it can so that your grandchild gets a very good picture of her/his grandmother.

excellent !! the journal covered every detail of my life. it brought tears to my grand daughter's eyes. it ask the right questions to stimulate your memory. it was a fun project highly recoomend

A very good way to record a lot of memories that are easily forgotten. It poses questions you would want to know but would probably forget to ask.Fun and informative!

Cute for gifts and memories to keep ! Adorable layout grandma loves it

Nice book ,ideal for my mum who's getting forgetful helps keep her memory going and nice there's room for photo's found things about my mum's life i didn't know

Didn't like the questions in here and returned.

I'm absolutely love this journal! Bought it as a gift for my sons grandmother's can't wait to give it to them. It's large size and will suit great Nan better too!

Brilliant book so glad I bought this

I bought two of these for my daughter’s grandmas. They’re perfect! As other reviewers mention, it’s a large book and surprisingly great quality. The writing prompts vary quite widely, and have been a great activity for our moms during social distancing. They are planning to regift the completed book back to my daughter :)

Great book for recording my story about life from my years for my granddaughter to read about. She will get to know about things that her mom won't remember and she might be curious about later in her life. Would love it more if it asked more prompting questions. It is great though.

Some odd questions but otherwise nice prompts for my mom to elaborate on. She was going to write in a blank journal but she found this easier because she could jump around and come back to a section to expand more. It's a thick book, lots of writing room. The design is a little too grandma-ish. My mom isn't the pink lace and frill and pretty teacups kinda grandma.

Awesome gift idea. I got one for my Nanna and my mom for xmas and they loved them. I am excited to have them to keep and also hand down to my kids one day. These important people in our family will always be remembered and with this it is even better because we will have a book of many of their most important memories to look back on. The book itself is well made and very pretty. Very happy with this purchase.

I love this book so much I will always save it to remember my grandma by. My grandma loved filling it out for me . There's so many questions and it's definitely worth all the money

I ordered this for both of my grandmothers for Christmas. They arrived today and it made me so excited to gift them! The books are so beautiful- hard cover, filled with quotes and prompts and places for photos. I know these will be treasured keepsakes.

I love this book. Nothing super personal/intimate asked but a great probing book to gain insight and prompt storytelling

Great quality Love this hard cover And it’s Cushiony Super cute My grandmother will love this

excellent for grandchildren

Wonderful. Bought one for me and my friend too.

This book was to be a keepsake gift but when it arrived the cover had a number of dirty marks on it. I also thought the book would be a bit smaller in size.

Love it

Both Grandma's were excited for the chance to share their life with their grandchildren. It's very extensive and will be time consuming for them to fill out, but will be a cherished and priceless memento.

Great gift idea

Grandma loved it ,I love it .

It’s a perfect gift!

Love this! Can’t wait to give it to grandma.
