Start with one small arrangement
Place Chosen just for you beside the recipient label and add one handwritten reason.
Give each piece a job
Keep the main message on Why I Chose This Book; its first prompt is For. Arrange it beside this piece before deciding what to attach. Use a For or From label to identify the memory without covering its main writing space. Paper, scissors and glue are enough for these suggested paper arrangements; use your own photo or saved paper only if it belongs to the story.
Leave room for handwriting
Cut eight 80 × 40 mm rectangles. Each of the four phrases appears twice with one writing line. Try the caption beside your paper memory before gluing; its width is not a promise of pocket fit.
