Ok. This is the situation. I just received a box of my grandma's diaries. Yahoo!!! I can't wait to dig in and read, read, read. Now I know that my brother mentioned that he would like to read them too. And I am betting that my mom, aunt and cousins would like to read them too. So....I am trying to figure out the best way to duplicate them. I could type them in Word or in some kind of book form. They wouldn't have grandma's writing on all of the pages but I could insert some here and there. AND I have found some receipts and pictures in some.
I am looking for some suggestions on the funnest and most memorable and practical way to do this. I know it will be work on my part but that is ok. And maybe they could even be a Christmas gift. So please, if anyone has some ideas, I would love to hear about them. Thanks in advance!!!

I am good at cleaning noses and bottoms of small children, sorry, I cant help ya there. not my area of expertise. hehe sounds like a wonderful gift though
That sounds really awesome! What a treasure! I like your idea of typing it up.
Wow what a great "dilemma". I like your idea--that would be a wonderful gift.
Can you scan them? If you're not opposed to some cost, you could scan the pages and then do something like Shutterfly where you can have a book printed...
Oooh, I would love to get hold of some of my grandmother's (or other ancestors) diaries. What a treat! I like Holly's scanning idea - but I've never done this before. But if you can't scan, I think your family would love the words she wrote more than her handwriting, anyway.
How exciting for you!
I bet you are so excited to read! I know that I have a copy of my great grandma's journal. It's typed and I haven't thought twice about it. I love it! And what a great gift. One they'll treasure forever!
Ooooooooooooh my gosh! How I would LOVE to get a treasure like that! I would give anything to have something like that! IT will be a lot of work to copy, but so worth it! I am so excited for yoU!
