Your Journal Brimming With Memories

Workshop Description:

This is a stand alone workshop available for service providers and government funded groups to have fun and explore the art of creative reuse with us!

With wellbeing being a high priority, our workshops are excellent way of tackling stress in the workplace, encouraging visual and practical communication.

We have met lots of people from different walks of life, all have different reasons for attending but all leave with a feeling of accomplishment of what they have learned and transformed and the feel good of giving back to the community and helping the environment.

You may be asking what is a Handmade Memory Journal Notebook? Is it a scrapbook? A photo album? A diary? The quickest answer is yes!! all of the above!

Wouldn’t it be lovely to pick up a Handmade Memory Journal, full of your own memories and keepsakes for you to Reflect and ReLive.

Our memory journal workshops have brought the creative art of reuse which embraces all our senses! This is great to do for yourself for the present or the future, or for a family member! A memory journal is a personalised collection of mementos, photos, and stories that document the life and memories of ourselves.

We think this is a valuable wellbeing gift to ourselves, a friend or a family member with or without dementia.

These Journals help us remember, reminisce and connect with the past, but even the act of creating them should be treasured.

You may want to celebrate a special event, or possibly signify a difficult time in your life, these journals can assist as the perfect creative therapy in coming to terms with a loss or remembering a fantastic time. Maybe you have a friend or family member who you think would benefit from this type of creativity or you may want to make a journal for someone as a gift for a wedding or birth.

Memory Journals also play a big part as a aid when caring for Dementia patients. These books can hold all the important memories, including smells, and fabrics, so why not team up with your family and loved one to create their own book.

The loss of a loved one can also benefit from making and owning your own handmade memory book, making grieving a positive time for loved ones.

These journals are tactile to touch and easily reached, brimming with memories and feelings. In present times we tend to store all our photos on our computers, phones or special family mementos in the loft. This journal can hold these memories for you.

Here at ReVamp Boutique we have a huge collection of vintage fabrics, ribbons and lace ready for you to feast your eyes upon so what’s stopping you? Bring your collection of mementos and come and learn how to make your own Memory Journal in a therapeutic way!
