Happy Heritage Making This Weekend!

I am currently working on a poster of my family tree. Its an investigation into my family history and its like an adventure for me. I’m hunting down photos and names and birth/death information for as far back as I can go.

I am learning things I never knew just by asking questions of people in my family who I’ve never spoken to before (live far away) or haven’t connected with in years and years. When I finish my photo poster of my ‘tree’ then I will make a book with the pictures and more stories and information about my family.

I recommend that you do the same one day soon – ask those questions and get copies of those old photos before its too late and the research and fact finding becomes even more difficult.

Do it and you’ll have no regrets.

Have you ever thought about making a book about taking the kids to the zoo? My family and I visit our local zoo often and I always have my camera (no surprise there! lol), so when I saw a Zoo Book template in the Template Gallery I grabbed it and started in on it right away.  This preview below is the final product….let me know if you love it as much as my family does. Maybe start one yourself today!

Well folks – they’ve done it again! HM is introducing a brand new product for us – its a COOKBOOK!

To celebrate the launch of this new and fun item they are offering it to everyone as a pre-sale at a BIG discount… click below:

21 pages, softcover, spiral bound, with a cover that can wrap around the book. It can be used as a cookbook, day planner or anything you create just as you would with a regular HM book. There will be templates in the gallery for us to use or we can make our own from scratch. It comes with the standard of 21 pages and can be expanded up to 50 pages with a wrap around cover that will be waterproofed so if you spill on it you can wipe it off!

As always – if you want this HOT introductory deal – just call or email me and its yours!

This month has some great packages and deals to offer – I am stocking up on a few of these myself in preparation for Christmas gifts

You can see the specials to the right – just click on the links and the flyer will open up and give you all the information you need to choose which is best for you and your custom projects

This month with ANY purchase you can recieve TEN FREE TEMPLATES! Templates help you finish your projects quickly because the designing part is done and all you need to to is add your photos and text!
