Christmas Cards vs. New Year Cards
I love Christmas so much, but Christmas 2008 came upon me before I was ready for it. I had a wonderful productive December and helped so many of my clients make books do great Christmas cards and also Calendars for 2009. I sent 100 cards to our troops, but never sent any cards to my loved ones, so I decided to send New Years cards which I am just about to publish with Heritage Makers and have them direct shipped to everyone. I just love that Heritage Makers does direct shipping for us now, it saves hours not having to individually address each card.
Hopefully none of you see it here before you receive it in the mail, but I figured that I had better do a post on this topic as it is another one of those busy weeks for me, getting ready to go on a cruise with my husband and the other members of Heritage Makers Top Achievers Club. I can hardly wait!
Anyway this is the card that is going out this week.
I will do my best to post this week before we leave on Friday for the Caribbean!
Christmas Page
Christmas is over for another year and I always feel sad and never know quite how I am going to be able to wait another whole year for this magical season to come around again! But…this is the best time to preserve the precious memories of this special season before they fade.
I needed to do a 12×12 Christmas page for my daughter in-law Mindi and anyone who knows me, knows how I struggle to come up with a layout I feel is good enough – anyway I found a beautiful template in Heritage Makers Template Gallery and couldn’t wait to use it. It was so much fun dropping in my own photos and completing a great page in less than 10 minutes – the Template Gallery is just the place for people like me.
I ordered this page to be published for Mindi and loved it so much I ordered a copy to add to my Christmas 2008 collection of memorabilia too. I look forward to it arriving next week! I know Mindi is going to love this page…
Digital Scrapbooking couldn’t be easier than using Heritage Makers online publishing system. No expensive software to buy, not to mention the time it takes to learn difficult software and all that clutter on your hard drive. I love that all my projects are stored online and that I can order a hardcopy of anything I want to share with friends and family. How great is that!
If you want to make fabulous projects in no time at all, please contact me I would love to help you get started having the time of your life preserving all your wonderful memories.
Looking Forward to 2009
The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy for me, with helping clients get books completed and Christmas Cards sent to their friends and families, not to mention I have been fighting a really bad cold since Thanksgiving and it looks like it has come back with a vengeance – I have been feeling pretty miserable through Christmas and today…tomorrow has got to be better. I am missing out on playing with the grandbabies and it’s driving me crazy. With all that I have had going on, I didn’t do my own Christmas cards, so I am going to repent and do New Years Cards for friends and family, but I did send out 100 cards to our troops, so that should count for something…right!
Now let me get to the doghouse part of my post. I sent this to my sons a week or two before Christmas, in my endeavor to give them some motherly advice and should have taken the time to post it here sooner to save some of you the agony of finding yourselves in the doghouse this Christmas season. I apologize if that is the case, but this will come in handy for next Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries etc. This little Video Clip is a MUST see, it is an excellent production and hilarious too! Enjoy!
Next year you may also want to give Heritage Makers a serious thought, our products are guaranteed to keep you out of the doghouse too!
ClearPlay: A Revolutionary way for Your Family to Enjoy Movies Together
Firstly this is a safe legal way for you to take control of what your family sees and hears when watching a movie. This technology does not edit or change the original movie in any way and is covered by the Families Movie Act passed by congress and signed into law in 2004. You can adjust the filters according to the ages of your family members and sit back and enjoy a movie together.
How It Works!
You pay for a year membership ($80) which is only $6.67 per month. The DVD player costs $79.99. This membership allows you to visit the ClearPlay website and download filters onto a flash drive. You plug the flash drive into the ClearPlay DVD player and the player loads those filters onto your player. You can even set the levels of filtering you want on your player. For instance, you can select the level of violence, etc… as well as the movie ratings you’ll allow to play on the DVD player. My friend Suzie has this to say about ClearPlay ”We set our player to allow all PG and G movies, but we blocked PG-13 and R movies. When we leave the house…the kids can try to throw a PG-13 movie in, but it won’t play without a password that you set up. We love having peace of mind that the movies our family watches will not include sexual scenes or profanity.” It’s a great way to be able to watch movies!
ClearPlay have a Christmas Special going on right now for a DVD player and a 12 month membership for $119.99. If you order 3-5 DVD players, there are some great additional savings! I am going to buy four of them for my children so that we can all have peace of mind when our grandkids are watching a movie. You can call ClearPlay at: 1-866-788-6992 to ask questions and find out more information or visit their website.
I know that we are all looking for quality gifts for our families this Christmas season and that is why ClearPlay and Heritage Makers are at the top of my list for Christmas!

Letters from Santa…
Today I found myself confined to home with a case of laryngitis – not being able to talk is real torture for me! I decided to spend the day creating letters to my grandchildren from Santa. I will submit them for publication tomorrow and they will be shipped in a beautiful linen envelope to their individual homes where their mommy’s will promptly discard the envelopes and tell them they just received a letter from Santa who as we ALL know lives in the North Pole. Now how do I make sure their parents have the cameras ready when the kids get their letters…oh well we can only hope!
If you would like to make a card for a child from Santa, please contact me. I guarantee you can do it in as little as 5 minutes and then Heritage Makers will publish it for you and even mail it direct with our direct mail service – your only job is to warn mom it’s coming:)
Oh, I amost forgot to tell you we are running a special on our cards this month (December) – if you buy 50 of our 5×7 Postcard/invitations they will cost you $1 each! Plus S&H. You can’t beat that…okay, I know you don’t have 50 grandchildren or probably not, but you can use the rest to send Christmas Cards to friends and family or anything else you use cards for during the year. How about a couple of Christmas cards for our wonderful troops?

These little letters are going to add to the excitement of Christmas for my little grandchildren and years down the road they will bring back wonderful childhood memories. Your children will cherish these beautiful quality cards too!

As the United States gets closer to the Christmas season at the same time as facing uncertain financial times, this is a good time to buy American.
As a nation we have become addicted to cheap Asian manufactured goods. That’s where all the manufacturing jobs have gone!
I am proud of the fact that the products I represent are made here in the USA by local labor.
Our storybooks and other printed products are printed, bound and mailed here in the US. Even our technology is created here in the USA at time when many companies are taking advantage of low wages in India and China for technology development.
We are very proud of the quality of our products, our technology and our personal level of service and support. These things are important; we are unique in what we have to offer. We are excited to see our company grow these past years and with the continued support of our customers we expect to see even more American workers employed in 2009.
So as you think about the many choices you have to spend your money, think about buying something made in America.
Proud to say Manufactured in the USA!
Can you believe it is just 45 Days to Christmas?
I would love to help you make the most beautiful, unique Christmas and Holiday cards to share with your friends and family.
