Creating and ​Donating Memory ​Albums

Our mission is to help ​families by gifting them a ​personalized memory ​album, to hold their loved ​one’s pictures and ​memories.

We handle each album with love and integrity. ​Personalized to fit the person, and help families ​through the greiving process. Creating albums to ​the best of our abilities so families can cherish ​their loved one’s memories for years to come - at ​no cost to them.

What We Do

Our albums are beneficial to those experiencing:

  • Loss of a loved one
  • Loss of a Veteran
  • Loss of a family pet
  • Loved one on Hospice Care

Families or friends reach out to us.

We do a brief interview to gain information, which makes it possible for us to personalize an album, to the interest of their loved one. When families receive their album, they add their own photos and memories, creating a treasured gift to preserve family memories for generations to come.

History of Handy Hands

Jacki

My name is Jacki and I have been a forever crafter for most of my ​life. In 2007, I became handicapped. I decided to take my love of ​scrapbooking and give to families after the loss of a loved one, ​helping them heal. I created an album for my mom, giving it to her ​just one month prior to her passing in 2008. She told me, “It is such ​a wonderful thing to do, your hands are so handy. I know how ​much I LOVE this. I am sure many families would love one too.”

She was smiling as she looked through her album filled with her ​family history... this experience validated my idea to create albums ​to help loved ones through a very difficult time. I am proud to ​share my talents and time.

I have been married to Steve, a 34-year Army veteran, for 50+ ​years. We had a son, Jake, who passed away at work in 2018. We ​are thankful to have his wife, Kelly, and daughter Lyla still in our ​lives. Our daughter Rebecca and her two children, Mikhael and ​Arabelle are all involved with HHR.
