What IÂ Do
I specialise in craft boxes and journaling sets. Memory making is a way to allow families to have quality time together and bring enjoyment back into their child’s life. While journaling is a way to process emotions.
Memories to Scrapbook encourages parents to talk to medical professionals about managing pleasurable experiences as well as their health condition. I understand how unpredictable a child’s condition can be, and I can be alongside you throughout your journey. There is a lot of worry, hospital appointments and admissions when a child has complex medical needs.
The craft boxes I provide are designed to give you activities that will leave you with fun memories together. Over 40years of extensive research shows when you put emotional upheaval into words you experience less distress and greater healing. That is why I have created journaling sets to help parents and siblings who know someone that is unwell or are sadly experiencing grief after a child or baby dies.
Hello my name is Stacey and I am the founder of Memories to Scrapbook CIC. I registered Memories to Scrapbook as a Community Interest Company in 2022 after the loss of my daughter. During her short 3years of life she had many complex needs that made planning activities a challenge but taught me how to make everyday count in even the simplest of ways. I wanted to support other families with a child that has life limiting or life threatening conditions to make memories and feel less alone.
Journaling was something that I realised really helped with my grief and I wished I used it to manage my emotions whilst my daughter was still alive. I have taken many courses and with my background in psychology I have designed journaling sets and am always available to help by sharing tips. By working with various hospitals and hospices I encourage medical professionals to take a more holistic approach to life limiting conditions and bereavement.
Craft Boxes
Whether you think you have a few years or a few hours, these boxes contains everything that can help you make precious memories in that moment. I can create craft boxes to suit a wide range of themes and provide everything you need to complete multiple activities. These sets are designed to give a multi-sensory experience. I also so sets for siblings to keep them entertained and distracted if they also have to spend time at the hospital.
Candles and Wax Melts
I started making candles when I realised there was limited suppliers that made them both for their calming effects and sentimental value. The candles and wax melts I make are designed to reduce stress and induce relaxation. They are particularly good to light whilst journaling and if your child is unwell. Some sets are ideal gifts to mark anniversaries of a child that's died from birthday's to their passing.
Journaling Sets
The journaling sets I provide serve as your companion. The tips included will help you learn to write as you process, try to understand, grow and remember the experiences you have had or are having in that moment. Whether your creative or just want an outlet to record your thoughts, journaling is a life-changing habit whether you have a child or sibling that is unwell or has sadly passed away.
Background
How I Work
Partnerships
As a Community Interest Company I rely on funding from donations, sponsorships and grants to supply boxes to families in need. I enjoy building relationships with partners as it helps to unite your workforce with a common goal, while demonstrating your commitment to your community. All proceeds from items sold goes towards craft and journals sets I donate to children's wards, neonatal units and children's hospices for when families need them at short notice. Please make a donation using the link provided or get in touch if you would like to find out how you can support the work I do.
Scrapbooks & Journals
I want to be there for you throughout your journey. I understand the importance of living in the moment when your child's condition is unpredictable. Sometimes they may become unwell very quickly and can recover just as fast, other families I support are those at the beginning of their journey on a neonatal ward. Together we can create a scrapbook capturing memories that will last forever. Journals are a perfect way of giving you something to do and reflecting on your thoughts and feelings. Grief journaling is also a way to process difficult emotions and help keep your child's memory alive.

Continuing Bonds
Memories to Scrapbook was inspired by my journey with my daughter Lady Tiffany. She challenged medical professionals both ethically and professionally. Making as many memories as we should of had in a lifetime but with the short time we were given was my passion. Since her passing in 2020 I continue to involve her in everything I do. Sadly many families children I will work with through Memories to Scrapbook pass away, but our journey together continues. Get in touch if your bereaved and would like to know more about how I can support you to mark special occasions, and bespoke grief journaling ideas.
