OK, so it's not a life story - but I just adored doing it. It is a collection of stories a grandma made up for her grandchildren when they were little. She wanted to put them into a format so future generations could enjoy them too.
It was a lot of hard work, but more fun than I've had in a long time - sourcing the images to suit the stories, compiling all the images, one over another and making sure the stories fitted. Oh, and choosing the colours - lovely bright, wild colours, and making everything colour coordinated. It took me nearly an hour to get to her to give her the book and when she saw it, she cried. She said "I'm covered in goosebumps!" It was such a magic moment. We held hands as she turned the pages of her book. I also did a video of her reading one of the stories and set it to music - so she can play it on her DVD when people visit. I so love making people this happy!!
