My Family Keepsakes (Heritage Makers)

Hello Readers!

Springy weather has brought on the urge to design in bright happy colors!  I designed a new 8×20 gallery wrapped canvas last night…  I think it will cheer me up whenever I see it on my office wall.

Canvas prints in the smaller sizes are my new ‘favorite’ product to create and publish in the Heritage Makers Online Studio lately.  They are just so simple to create -being that they consist of only one page/surface to design so it doesn’t take much time to complete (especially if you use a template) and they make lovely home decor items and perfect custom gifts for friends and family.

This month of March we are having a surprise special on Consultant Sign Up Kits for women just like you to join us and spread the word on custom family keepsakes and get paid for it!  Its not a ‘job’ its your own home business.  Becoming a Consultant was the best decision I have ever made.  I receive many positive rewards for helping others to learn how to preserve their memories and precious photos this way.  In fact – if I won the lottery and I never had to ‘work’ again I would keep doing this because it’s become my passion and the personal rewards are so much greater than any paycheck.  I’ve established friendships with my clients and fellow consultants and I have a new ’social life’ to add spice to my life.  My children create their own projects in our Studio and the look on their faces when they open the mail and see the end result of their work is priceless to me.  The emotional moments when we give a special life storybook or family recipe book on birthdays or holidays is just something that NEVER gets old….its something the people in my life look forward to and cherish.  I am my family’s Heritage Maker – and I’m sure that will be scripted onto my gravestone one day (which will be in the shape of a giant storybook – lol).  I want to be known as the person in my family and circle of friends as the one who took the time and made it a priority to preserve our family stories and published our photos into keepsakes for a lifetime – and many other lifetimes – as they pass down from generation to generation.

If you feel the same and would like to find out more about becoming the Heritage Maker in your family or owning your own Heritage Makers home business, please email me for more information heidi@myfamilykeepsakes.com or fill out my contact form here.

Here is a fun little slideshow I put together of my Consultant Team’s fun times this weekend at our Regional Conference… I think this song describes it perfectly

I LOVE IT!

The 8×20 wrapped canvas that I made for my daughter arrived! Its GORGEOUS!  She loves it because she’s a ‘pink’ kind of girl and seeing her name on it really excited her.

I made one for my son with his name and Chinese Dragons on it – much more ‘boyish’ – and we’re looking forward to getting that one next!

I’ll be taking this to our Regionals this weekend to share with all the other samples of our juicy custom products   If you are in the Calgary area – join us for an introduction tonight at 7pm at the Sandman Hotel (Airport) Conference Room.  You can see a huge selection of our products and find out how we do it

Michelle and I attended the Calgary Moms Trade Fair this past weekend and we had a blast!

For a smaller show – it was super busy! We met many excited moms and grandmoms who were surprised to find out that anyone can make professional custom photo gifts with our online program.  I am looking forward to seeing the projects they create as they begin their journey thought heritage making.

A Big thank you to Gina  for creating and sending this adorable custom greeting card to me for my birthday!

Gina is an HM publishing consultant on my team – and a thoughtful one too!  It was a great feeling to be on the receiving end of our special products and its motivated me to send out a few cards of my own this week
