I had so much fun creating these three pages for my family – I will teach you how to do the same! This coming from someone who has never done any kind of Scrapbooking before…if I can do it so can you! Give it a try…ask me about my no obligation Online Workshops – You can see for yourself how easy Digital Scrapbooking is when it is done the Heritage Makers way!
While listening to the radio the other day I found myself listening to Jan D’Atri ,a local Arizona TV and radio personality and author.
I was very impressed by her discussion about the value of family and some of the simple things in families that connect us. The focus of her discussion was the joy of cooking within a family and the memories many women have of spending wonderful times, while they were young, cooking with their mothers and grandmothers.
Jan went on to encourage women to gather their precious family recipes along with the precious memories and commit them to paper. She has herself published a cookbook of memorable family recipes.
She also shares some wonderful stories of her own mother and the relationships that have become such a treasure over the years. A great reminder of what is most important in this life – family.
For a heart touching story check out this blog post by Jan’s mother.
Jan’s website has some great recipes you might want to try!
Here is one of my favorites.

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
Remembering Our Troops this Christmas
Last Saturday while watching the Mike Huckabee Show on Fox News, Mike Huckabee’s wife did a short segment on sending Christmas Cards to the men and woman in the Armed Services. The Red Cross would like to send out 1 million cards to our troops this Christmas, so I decided that I would send 100 Christmas cards to the troops who are protecting us overseas. Many Service Members don’t get anything from home at all, I found that so sad. The website Mrs. Huckabee promoted was The American Red Cross Holiday Mail – please remember that your cards must be postmarked by December 10th or they will be returned to you. Checkout the website and read up about the other rules for sending Christmas cards to the troops this year. This is one of the cards I am sending out, I found the design in our Template Gallery and it took me a minute to drop a photo in and add a few Christmas wishes, a small price to pay for the freedom they make possible for all of us. Send one card; it will make all the difference.
