Makin' Memories is an album by country singer, Dottie West, released in 1969.

This was Dottie West's last album of the decade. Two singles came from this album, "Clingin' to a Baby's Hand" and "I Heard Our Song", neither of which hit the Country Top 40. These singles would set the stage of a string of other singles released between 1970 and 1972 that would fail to make the Country Top 40 (most of them, not all of them). Her albums (including this one) would also fail to sell well. This album did not chart the "Top Country Albums" list.
