Share Your Story!

Okay...so I've been waiting for the last couple of weeks to post these books because they were gifts for other people, but they've been given and I'm SO excited to share them with you.  Not just because I'm happy at how they turned out, but because I love that they are preserving special memories for the people they were given to.

This first book was made for my cousin's wife.  Jeff wanted to do something special for her, and lucky me, he chose Heritage Makers to do that.  We made a beautiful 13x11 Legacy book for her...full of pictures that started from their engagement up to the present...and I love how it turned out!  Jeff uploaded all of the pictures, chose the template, and decided exactly what he'd like the book to be about.  I was the lucky one who got to put those pictures into a cohesive book.



This next book has got to be one of my favorite books ever...and I'm so glad I got the chance to do it.  It was for my sister in law for her birthday, and it showcases the day she and her hubby were sealed in the temple.  This one is an 8x8 board book, and since I couldn't find a template that I wanted to use, I made up my own.  I love things with clean, simple lines that showcase what really needs to be showcased in the book: the pictures (and text).  Lauren got this last night...and I'm so glad that she liked it!



I originally started with Heritage Makers because I figured it would be an easy way for me to do a yearly summary for our family, but I've since realized, it's much more than that.  It's more than a summary of a year or an event.  It's a way to share our story.  It's a way to bring those memories back to life!  With Heritage Makers, it's all about family & friends, and special memories...and I LOVE that!
