I have returned home from a long weekend away at Heritage Makers Leaders Roundtable meetings. It has been a very exciting time for all of us as we anxiously wait for the release of Studio 2.0 I am counting the minutes until Wednesday for it to be released to all of Heritage Makers Directors. It is just as well it was not released today as I would have had a hard time getting any work done. I would have spent the day on my computer playing with the system and trying out all of the fantastic new features that come with 2.0. Coming home after a trip is difficult enough without having a huge distraction. I can’t wait to share 2.0 with all of my clients and my consultant team, and see their reactions. It takes a lot to impress my husband Nev where technology is concerned, but it was so amusing to see his jaw drop when he watched the demo of 2.0 on the weekend, that when I really became excited. Studio 2.0 is going to take Digital Scrapbooking to anyone who wants to do it without needing expensive software and finding many hours to learn it before you can even begin a project. For people who are not confident in designing a page (I fall into this category) we can use our growing collection of Easy Books to make a book that looks fantastic because it has been designed by one of our very talented consultants. These templates are very flexible and you can change things you don’t like or want to have in your book.
View my Easy Book page and click on the links to see the amazing templates on many different themes. Contact me if you would like to have these books in your publishing account to personalize with your own Digital Photos.

This was a fun book for my grandaughter who felt it was time she had a “big girl” book.
The book is an 8 by 8 inch size and was a lot of fun to do. The border on each page is from one of the dozens of pre-made borders available using Heritage Makers classic publishing system. The page layouts were selected from the many layouts available. All I had to do was upload the photos and type the text. In all I finshed the book in 2 weeks working a couple of hours per week.
What a fun book for her!
This is one of my favorite books that I have made. I made this book as a Christmas gift for my husband. It is the story of the close relationship he shares with one of our grandsons. Since he was a small baby they have always had fun doing things together so I want it recorded so that the memories will never fade.
I called the book Papa and Me and wrote it as if my grandson was telling the story. My grandson loves to sit on my lap and have me read the story and talk about the pictures and the things that he and Papa would do together. This is a very special time for both of us. I want him to grow up knowing that he is dearly loved and that he has signifance in our lives beyond measure and as he grows he will continue to add significance to the world we live in.
Papa and Me – a story of boy and his grandpa – a story of two hearts shared!
When I started on the path of creating storybooks I felt insecure about my skill and knowledge with computer and Internet technology. I was one of the most untechnical person on the planet. Then I found Kim Kommando both her radio show and her wonderful web site. Kim became my source of technical learning. She provided easy to understand explanations about technical issues. I turned to her web site so many times when I was looking for recommendations when I needed the choices in front of me. I highly recommend her website and radio show. Kim Kommando is an awesome source of information and I would be amiss if I didn’t give her recognition as one of the biggest resources that has enabled me to have the courage to follow the passion I have for this Internet based business. Thank you Kim!
If you are in need of a great technical resource I have included a link to her awesome web site.I have also added a link to another topic that I feel passionate about; supporting our troops. Kim has a great web site to help all of us show our support for our troops. So I encourage everyone to participate in her troop support efforts. Click on the link!
In January of 2005 while recovering from cancer related surgery, I discovered the internet. With the help of a new notebook computer and encouragement from my family I learnt the basics of surfing the web. My surfing took purpose as I planned for my post cancer life and decided to find a meaningful business to start from home. The internet searches revealed many options but nothing that I could be passionate about until I found Heritage Makers.
This amazing company had produced a product; online storybooking, that touched my heart. Their mission of strengthening families through the power of the stories of our heritage was immediately compelling to me. I wanted my grandchildren to know the wonderful stories of their family. I wanted them to know the family members that had already passed away. I wanted them to know they belong to a family of wonderful people who have lived amazing lives.
Yes, this was for me. I knew I would never feel embarrased to tell someone even complete starngers about these amazing storybooks. This would be a wonderful home based business that I could “do well with by doing good.”
The concept was simple despite my lack of computer expertise. Creating a custom storybook through an online publishing system. No special software to purchase. Access my projects from any computer connected to the internet. Then upload my photos and writre the story associated with those pictures. Pick a design and page layouts then when I am finished the corporate office prints and binds the book and sends it to me in the mail. A beautiful high quality, bound book that my grandchildren can read and read over again. Wow! This was the business for me.
Now 2 years later I haven’t regretted my decision for one moment. I am more passionate about this world of storybooks than I ever was. It is an incredible experience to help my clients make their books and then share that amazing magic moment when they receive their completed book in the mail. I have had long-distance calls from all over the country and emails from clients who are thrilled to receive their books containing their precious photos and stories.
