Writing Your Grandparents story

I never would have started doing Family History, gathering old family pictures or writing those stories until I found the Heritage Makers publishing system. They have:
Story maps to help you start working on the story (feel free to print this out if you want to use it).
Free 1 Gig photo storage space (unlimited storage space with the Premier Membership)
Totally customized layout design ability
Several publishing choices (hard-bound books, individual pages, even posters and cards)
Acid-free, Lignin-free, Library stitched, The highest quality
The ability to print just one copy
An Archive, so you project can be published again and again

I'm 25 with 3 kids ages 5 and under. I know that my time is precious so I'm really grateful that there is so much Technology to help me better use my time and still get these important histories recorded before I lose the family members who know the stories are gone. I am an independent publishing consultant through Heritage Makers now. So I get to help others with their stories. I'd love to help you too, go to www.sharingheritage.com for more info. Thanks!

NEW PRODUCTS!!!

These are the new products that were announced at Heritage Makers Reunion 2009! Come and look! Think of the possibilities!

We're going to Reunion, So lets make a sale out of it!

Every year Heritage Makers has a big Company Convention, We call it "Reunion." This year we are going to Las Vegas, where Heritage Makers will announce to us all of the new products, tell us about fun upgrades, and we have an absolute blast with each other! (I love Book Look! Just seeing what all of the other consultants have made, Think show-and-tell!) Since we are going to have these great SURPRISE Products that will be announced in just over a week, our sale right now needed to rival all that's in store!

SO the BIG pre-Reunion Special is...... Greeting Cards! These are so fun! Think Christmas Cards, Birthday Cards, Thank yous, Party invitations, and Wedding invitations. As with all the products you create with Heritage Makers, Customized it an understatement! I love that I can put 2 or 7 Family pictures, my family newsletter, and our current contact information into such a CLASSY Christmas card for so inexpensive!

And don't forget Direct Shipping! After all of that, I really can make it just how I want it, You have the choice to have it shipped to any address you put into the address book. That means they print, fold and stuff the cards into high quality envelopes that have your address and your recipients address printed in a nice font on the out side, a real stamp is added and then it goes into the mail! Wow!
