ABC's of Father list
I just helped a client finish a book for her father's birthday this Sunday. She had worked for weeks, gathering all the photos she wanted to include. I went to her house and she stared the book while I scanned the photos. Because of the time crunch, I went ahead and actually made the book for her, then she proofed it. She didn't have much text in it, so we decided to take each alphabet and put one on each page, then the word that went with it. For example, A is for admirable, B is for builder, C is for caring, D is for devoted, etc. Since the book has so little text, it made a huge difference in how the book "felt". So if you're ever at a loss for words in a book, this may be a good technique to use. You can find a lot of ABC lists on the internet.

I like this idea about using the ABC"s in your clients book, I am not good with journaling so I am going to try this idea. and I have a another hint, I chat every morning with family or friends. I have decided that would be a perfect time to work on my story books. This morning I got almost three pages done.
