End of School Year Mini Book
A simple, beautifully designed keepsake for the school papers, photos, artwork, and memories you actually want to keep.
The end of the school year often comes with a stack of papers, projects, artwork, photos, awards, and little memories you don’t want to throw away — but don’t really want to sit in a box forever either.
The End of School Year Mini Book turns your child’s favorite school-year memories into one finished, printed book that’s easy to enjoy, share, and keep.
20-page softcover book | 8.5 × 8.5 | Starting at $70
What This Book Is (and isn’t)
The End of School Year Mini Book is a custom-designed keepsake created from the school-year memories you choose to preserve.
It brings together your child’s favorite photos, artwork, handwriting samples, schoolwork, awards, activities, and special moments into one simple, finished book.
This is a designed-for-you service — not a template you have to fill in yourself.
It is not:
a yearbook
a scrapbook
a storage place for every school paper
a full childhood memory book
a large archival project
something you have to design on your own
The goal is not to keep everything. The goal is to preserve the pieces that best tell the story of this school year.
Photos
First day, last day, school events, field trips, sports, activities, concerts, friends, classroom moments, or favorite everyday photos.
Schoolwork
Writing samples, handwriting, reading logs, favorite assignments, math pages, science projects, social studies work, or report cards.
Why Families Choose a
School Year Mini Book
School memories have a way of piling up quickly.
By the end of the year, you may have a folder, drawer, backpack, or box full of papers you meant to sort through “later.”
The hard part is knowing what to keep.
The End of School Year Mini Book helps you preserve the pieces that matter most — without keeping every worksheet, project, and paper your child brings home.
A few favorite photos, handwriting samples, artwork, awards, and school-year highlights can tell the story beautifully.
This book gives those memories a finished place to live — one your family can actually look through and enjoy.
A Snapshot of Their School Year
Creative pieces
Artwork, drawings, crafts, music memories, projects, or anything that shows your child’s personality and interests.
Milestones
Awards, certificates, teacher notes, favorite subject, favorite memory, school name, teacher name, grade, and school year.

Why Designed-for-You Makes a Difference
It’s one thing to save the papers. It’s another thing to turn them into a book your family will actually enjoy.
School-year memories come in all shapes and sizes — photos, artwork, worksheets, awards, handwriting samples, notes, and little details that don’t naturally fit together on their own.
I take those pieces and arrange them into a clean, custom-designed book that feels organized, balanced, and easy to look through.
You don’t have to choose layouts, resize images, figure out spacing, or wonder if everything works together.
The result is a finished keepsake that feels thoughtful and complete — without adding another project to your list.
