Up and Running

Okie dokie...

I am officially up and running, and this is officially my first post for the Featuring Family Blog...a blog that will feature ways to feature our families.

First thing's first:

I am Heritage Makers Independent Consultant. Translation: It's my job to create (and help you create) projects to help preserve the meaningful relationships and memories in life.

Heritage Makers was founded in 2005 and has quickly become a leader in personal publishing.

At Heritage Makers their goal is to make preserving family stories simple, fun, and rewarding. Heritage Makers helps people everywhere create beautiful, heirloom quality storybooks which document the priceless relationships, events, and experiences of life. They also believe that the company can strengthen family, improve relationships, and build children's self esteem.

That's it (in a nutshell.)

For me personally, Heritage Makers has become a way for me to take the special memories that our family has created and make them into tangible projects for my entire family to enjoy. It has become a way to keep our family journal. I has also been a way for me to take things that are important to our family, be it pictures, stories, quotes, etc. and preserve them in some form or another. It has got me taking more pictures, and making notes to remember what those pictures are. I'm constantly thinking of new storybooks, posters, cards, etc. to create!

Which brings me to the reason for creating this blog....

My goal in starting this blog is to give you (the reader) ideas for projects. Things that you can do to make your home a heritage home. Everything from my own personal stories and projects to home decor. As this blog is a work in progress, check back often for new ideas...and remember, heritage is a million everyday moments!
