Moms! Need your input

In celebrating my moms 70th birthday with her on Saturday. She was explicit she dint want a big party. So I'm taking her to a fancy tea, just the two of us (I'm
An only). I don't have a ton of money right now to buy her a milestone gift. But I wrote out my 70 favorite memories of her. I was going to but these into a small paper book I could make for her. Be honest. As a mom would you like this? My mom is big into the sentimental as well as paper crafts.

I love that idea! I would love if my daughter did something like that for me someday.

I think that's a wonderful gift. She will love it

Can you make it into a photo book? Get pics to go along with the memories? We did something similar for MIL's 60th and she is obsessed with it, she loved it so much!

She's actually an amazing scrapbooker so she actually doesn't like photo books haha. Plus I have until tomorrow to do this so sadly inspiration struck me too late:(

I would LOVE this if one of my children did it.

Also, my mom and I are in a good place now, but for years we weren't in a good place at all. I don't think I could come up with 70 happy memories right now. I think it's great that you can!

I think that's so sweet, and i'd cry my eyes out (in a good way) if my DS or DD ever did that for me. Sounds like a great idea!

LOVE this - great gift!

Thanks all! I worked for hours on this today and finsihed it! I'm not too thrilled with it because I'm not an amazing crafter, but it's the thought that counts right?

This is the very best gift ever.

I did this for my mom's 60th and she really liked it!
