What's Cooking

Just like everyone else in my family, I love to cook! I've always wanted to put together a collection of family recipes to share, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time or money doing it.

I am so excited to beging working on Heritage Maker's newest product, a spiral bound completely edible...I mean editable Cookbook!

Cookbook features:

-21 pages with up to 50 pages total at $.99 for each extra page!

-Spiral bound with a tri-fold front cover that folds out!

-Wipeable cover!

-7.5"x9.5"(portrait style)

-There will be some great templates in the Heritage Makers template gallery starting March 3rd (these templates are 100% editable so you an put as many recipes or pictures as you want on a page) - or you can completely design your own!

This would make a perfect mother's day gift and that's exactly what I'm going to do for my mom this year. I know she'll be so excited to get a cookbook with her favorite receipes! Let me help you get started making your own version today! I can't wait to get started!

Mother's Day...but it's only February?!?!

I know! Mother's Day isn't until May, but it's never too early to start thinking about what you're going to do for one of the most special ladies in your life.

If you're like me, my mom has it all....or so it seems! I didn't have to think very hard about what I was going to do this year. I'm going to make her a a story book. With the help of Heritage Makers all I have to do is pick my template, drop my pictures in and tell the story of how important she is to me and about all the wonderful life lessons that she taught me. I know that this Mother's Day will be one she cherishes!

Of course, you're not limited to your mother! You can also make special gifts for the other mother's in your life. In addition to story books, you can make greeting cards, fun card games and even posters for people like your sister, aunt, friend and the list goes on.

Be creative this year and remember, it's never too early to start thinking about Mom!

What Are You Doing With Your Photographs?

We all have them. Those boxes and boxes of old photographs looming in the closet and old photo albums. Everytime I see them I dread knowing that it will take me FOREVER to get them all scanned. Now with my digital camera, my computer is filled with photographs too! What am I supposed to do? I can get them all printed and put into boxes, but then I'm back to square one!
.

There is a BETTER way! Heritage Makers offers mobile scanning services. Once I get everything scanned all I have to do is upload them to into my account and start putting my photos and memories into storybooks for everyone to enjoy!

.

Now that my photos are all squared away, what about the photos of other family members? My sister just had a baby girl and like any parent you take a LOT of photographs. If I want to make a baby book and I need photos right now from Jane we can collaborate online! She can upload the photos from any computer with internet access right to MY account!

I'm the Super Proud Aunt of a New Beautiful Baby...

Girl! Can you believe it? Her name is Julianna Alyce and she is just gorgeous!

My sister has asked me to make baby scrapbooks for all her angels and I love doing it! However, little Jules has two older brothers and I'm still working on the first baby scrapbook for my oldest nephew. He will be 9 years old! My other nephew is getting ready to turn 2, and I’m yet to start his baby scrapbook! Over the years, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve spent more than a thousand dollars on scrapbook supplies. Most of it is still sitting in the high priced organizer bags that I have for them! The problem has been the time it takes to get everything out, do a page, and then put everything back.

Just last month, a friend introduced me to a digital scrapbooking program that is online, Heritage Makers. You don’t need a 'super' computer with a ton of storage space. All you need is a high speed internet connection and you are good to go. There is no software to download. You just upload your photos onto their site and start your project. There is absolutely no obligation and you can cancel at any time. It doesn't get any better than that! The basic program is absolutely free and the premiere membership runs $29 a month. There are literally thousands of papers, embellishments and texts to choose from. It's easy to get started, just go to www.ClubStoryBook.com or contact me and I'll be more than happy to help you!

It couldn't be easier to make baby books, annoucements, shower invitations, scrapbook pages and list goes on and on. However, if you're like me, you sometimes find yourself seaching for creative ideas. The great thing about working with Heritage Maker's is their large selection of templates as well as Story Maps which will help guide you as you write and preserve your most precious memories. As you combine the stories and photos of your baby, you’ll create a valuable treasure that can be shared for many years to come.

This month, make creating a heritage home easy. Let me know how I can help you. This current special expires February 28, 2009.

Valentine's Day is Coming - Are You Prepared?

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. What better way to say I love you than with a gift that will last a life time?!

I know it can be a daunting task, I've been there myself. I used to spend hours coming up with unique ideas, going the scrapbook store to buy all the supplies I would need and then putting my ideas down on paper. These days I have so much going on in my life that I barely have time to go to the grocery store let alone come up with creative ways to showcase my photos. I thought I'd never scrapbook again until I found a solution! Digital scrapbooking has been a wonderful tool and it is so simple to do! Heritage Makers has hundreds of pre-designed layouts and all you have to do is drag and drop your pictures into the template and voila! You have a complete project completed in a fraction of the time and cost it would normally take.

What are you waiting for? All you need are the digital pictures from your computer and you're well on your way to creating a beautiful storybook for your spouse, fun playing cards for your kids or even fabulous greetings cards for everyone on your list.
