Scrapbooking help

I have never made a scrapbook before but my grandmother passed away in May and I wanted to take her recipes and make a scrapbook for all of my cousins.

I just bought an entire Scrapbook kit from Lakeside.com. It looks like it has everything that I need - I'm just not sure how to start.

Also, do I type up the recipes on the paper? Do I type them on regular paper and stick them on? I'm just pretty clueless at this point.

I would like to find some good Grandmother poems to include.

Any tips at all will be greatly appreciated! Or - if I can see samples that would really help too!

Thank you so much!

My offer stands to get together for this!

Here are some poems I found:

A grandmother has ears that truly listen,
Arms that always hold,
Love that's never ending,
and a heart made of Gold.


A grandmother is someone
who's dear in every way.
Her smile is like the sunshine
that brightens each new day.
A grandma is someone
who plays a special part
In all the treasured memories
we hold within our heart.


She's the hug that chases the world away.
The sweet scent of childhood that never fades.
She's the word of wisdom, a knowing glance,
Tender understanding, a second- and third chance.
She always sees the wonderful in you,
Her love never-ending, ever-present, ever true.
No matter what may come, no matter what may be,
In my grandmother's heart I know I'll always be.


What could be more precious thana grandmother's special love
She always seems to know the things that I am fondest of
She's always ready with a smile or a loving word of praise
Her laughter always brightens up the cloudiest of days
She has an understanding heart that encourages and cheers
The love she gives so freely will grow deeper with the years
Her wisdom and devotion are blessings from above
nothing could be more precious than a grandmothers special love.


Anyone is truly blessed
Who knows the happiness and love we share.
No matter what we do or say,
You always love us anyway, and care.
Throughout our lives, through all our days,
We will remember all the ways
You made us laugh, and dried our tears;
The special bond that spans the years.
You ease our way, you help us grow.
Thank you, and always know
We love you.


Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them. --Marcel Proust
