Canvas Posters from Heritage Makers

Wedding Canvas

I had so much fun laying out this poster for my son Clint and his bride Ambrie. It is a 16×20 Canvas poster. Heritage Makers include Gallery Wrapping for all Canvas posters. I can’t wait to hear what the kids say when they get this to hang on a wall in their new home. The art is from ScrapGirls and it is their French Market Collection. I contemplated doing a smaller ribbon on the layout, but have decided that the large ribbon makes a statement and gives great color to the frame

Beware the Doghouse!

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!

‘GLAD HE’S FINALLY COMING HOME’

The Story of an American Hero

Early on the morning of Dec. 8, 1941, nine Japanese fighter planes swooped down on Malalag Bay in the Philippines and strafed and sunk two U.S. Navy seaplanes at the very outset of World War II.  All of the Americans escaped unharmed except Ensign Robert G. Tills, 23, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, who was cut down by machine gun bullets. “Ensign Robert Tills died in the fusillade of bullets from the Japanese strafers, the first American naval officer killed in the defense of the Philippines,” the Naval Historical Center wrote.

Stories – we all have them!

One of the great things I get to do on a regular basis is to meet wonderful people and sit with them in the comfort of someone’s living room and tell them about some of the many stories I have helped to be published in a book. Without fail the stories and their impact on families brings smiles and often tears to the eyes of those listeners.

It is so wonderful to then watch the participants realize that they have family stories that will be forgotten. They light up when they think about that relative that has lived a life rich in stories. Like a young listener of mine this week, whose thoughts quickly turned to her 80 year old grandmother who lived in France during World War II and how much she must have seen and lived through. She concluded that these wonderful stories and memories will soon be lost as grandmother’s age progresses. Suddenly, the idea of capturing those precious stories of Grandmother’s life becomes an urgent imperative.

I look forward to seeing those stories remain alive in a storybook. I love the idea that technology and my efforts will help to bring immense amounts of joy, laughter and even tears for generations of this family.

Who will remember your stories?

Growing Up with Heroes

 Where do the children of today find someone that will help shape their lives? Parents play a big role but sometimes the parental relationship has daily highs and lows as parents play their role of rule enforcer. From comic book heroes to sports heroes the media is having a greater impact on children than ever before.

Grandparents and aunts and uncles are often far away and the relationships are distant. Schools are becoming a questionable value in the life of children; struggling to even teach general knowledge let alone values and principles.

Storybooking was created when one mother wanted her children to know the hero in her life, her grandfather. Since then children across the country are discovering heroes and worthy role models within their own families.

Where will your children or grandchildren find heroes in their lives?

Who Are You?

When my mother died I flew home to help take care of the funeral and her meager earthly belongings. Of most interest to me were the boxes and albums of photos, mostly black and white photos. These photos represented the lives of my parents, their families and their life stories. I know they treasured these photos and the memories associated with them. I am sure they invoked many stories about the people in the photos. Stories that probably began with ” do you remember when……”

Unfortunately, for me the majority of the people in the photos are unknown strangers. When I look at the photos I see a book that can’t be opened and read, I see stories that will never be told about people I will never know and places that will always be just a background.

So my heritage lies in boxes of photos and I have become the detective in pursuit of the details before the stories can be told.

Sometimes, I have found myself asking these unknown faces in a photo “Who are you?”, in hopefull anticipation that somewhere, somehow I may know.

Until then I will keep wondering “Who are you?”.

Are we going to leave a bunch of jpegs of unknown faces for our children to ask “Who are you?
