School Photo Archive Journal, Linen Keepsake by Write To Me

Colour:
In stock
Sale price$69.00

Every year there is a new school photo, and every year it ends up in a drawer, a folder or the bottom of a bag. The School Photo Archive Journal by Write To Me finally gives them somewhere to belong: a linen keepsake with a double-page spread for each year, so the entire growing-up story sits together in one place.

Watching the gappy grins, the changing hair and the slowly straightening tie line up across the years is the whole joy of it. Each spread has room for that year's portrait and class photo, with space to write the year and year level, so the small facts are never lost.

Which ages does it cover?

There are 23 spreads, enough for up to 23 years of schooling from preschool through to higher education. Beginning early is ideal, though it is just as satisfying to backfill from a pile of photos you have already been keeping.

Is it only for parents to keep?

Not at all. It is a heartfelt gift from grandparents, and a lovely thing to hand over complete when a child leaves school. For families recording more than photos, it pairs well with the 21 Years memory journal.

Choose Grey or Oatmeal to suit your shelves. It sits neatly among our gifts under $100 and makes a memorable present for a family starting the school journey.

Why You'll Love It

  • One home for every school photo, first year to last
  • A spread per year for the portrait, class photo, year and year level
  • Linen cover in Grey or Oatmeal that suits an open shelf
  • A standout gift for a new school starter or a school leaver

Gifting Tips

Start it with this year's school photo already in place and it becomes a gift that gets better every year, whether it is from the kids to a parent, or from grandparents to the family. Find more keepsakes in our Write To Me collection.

Making It Work Long Term

Keep it with the other family keepsakes rather than in a drawer, so the yearly photo has an obvious home each time it arrives. Styled on a shelf with the family journals together, it reads as a considered little archive rather than loose paper. Grey suits monochrome and Scandi interiors; Oatmeal warms up softer, coastal rooms.
