September Reset: Start a Creative Keepsake Business for Mums
Inspired by a recent article in The Telegraph.
“I can’t change the fact I’m 49.”
Many women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond feel this when thinking about returning to work or starting something new. While you can’t change your age, you can change what you do next — and September is the perfect reset.
Why This is the Perfect Time for You
With routines shifting and more time on your hands, it’s ideal for mums whose children are starting school or have left home. This is your chance to explore a creative outlet, learn a new skill, or start a flexible business that brings purpose, joy, and income.
Even if you’re travelling from across the UK or internationally, my one-to-one courses give you the confidence, skills, and guidance you need. Students from Norway, Jersey, Tanzania, India, and Cyprus have trained with me and now run successful businesses.
About Me & Why My Training Works
I’m Glenda, a mum of two and founder of Precious Memories, an award-winning keepsake studio in Dorset. Over 20 years, I’ve helped families capture life’s most cherished moments through:
3D baby hand & foot casts
Belly bump castings
Family castings (progression from beginner → expert)
Memorials & pet prints
2D raised footprint/handprint tiles
Silver fingerprint jewellery
I’ve been proud to win the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award two years running and received hundreds of 5-star reviews.
Many mums worry they haven’t worked in years — that’s normal. But with one-to-one, bespoke training, you learn at your own pace without pressure, gaining confidence step by step.
Example Story:
Donna, in her 50s, had tried 3D casting herself but struggled and lost confidence. A year later, she trained one-to-one with me, combining her existing skills with my guidance. Now, her keepsake business is thriving — proving it’s never too late to start something new.
