I love this, what a good idea. I wish I would have done that with my dad. A friend of mine received a sweet gift. Someone copied and enlarged two of her mom's favorite family recipes that her mom had written down and put them in two pretty little frames. My friend kept them on a small table in the dining area. To me there is something special about looking at our loved ones handwriting. But I'm sentimental about this stuff.
