]]> So far my 365 project is taking some getting used to. Usually I don’t have my camera when I want to take a picture or I’m home and feel my 365 pictures shouldn’t be filled with apartment pictures. I’m going to try to remember to carry my camera more. It’s a SLR and a little bulky when I carry it. I have taken some pictures and will add them to my flickr account soon. Here’s hoping March will be more memorable. Keep taking pictures and recording your memories!

  1. Alternative Project Ideas There are so many uses for the products I sell....
]]> In September, I created a deck of cards to use as 2.5 x 3.5 wallet sized pictures.

wedding frame

I have several small picture frames I wanted to fill with pictures from my wedding. For the past few years,  I have searched for this size but could never find anyone who did them, besides portrait studios. Now I find that several of the 1 hour photos, as well as some online companies, offer the wallet size prints. I checked out several different sites and compared prices. The prices are about the same across the board except for one I found for 25¢. The only downfall about the cheaper one is that you have to order 4 of the same picture. These other sites may offer cheaper prices but what about the quality? To me quality is always worth the extra money and in this case there wasn’t much of a price difference. With Heritage Makers, I personalized, cropped, and rotated my own wallet sized images, as well as added a message on the back. The cost per picture is about 42¢ plus tax and s/h. (a deck of cards retails for $24.95 for 54 cards)

The result, picture frames filled with high quality ‘cards’ the way I wanted them.

]]> Heritage Makers is challenging us to a new project. Project 365! Basically take a picture everyday! Capture all the little moments that we often overlook.
How do you begin such a project?
1). Start with a Blog, Facebook, Flickr, etc. Just share your pictures with everyone.
2). Taking at least one picture with your camera everyday (1 picture for 365 days).
3). Include captions or write a little story about it.
Then at the end of the year you have a whole compilation of pictures to use. All these pictures will make storybooking and preserving your memories even easier. After all, if you don’t preserve your memories, who will?
Read the whole post at http://blog.heritagemakers.com/?p=465#comments.

I’m a little late in starting but I think this is a great idea! Watch for my Project 365 posts!

  1. Family Vacation It is so nice to have one week every year...
]]> For the holidays my Husband and I spent almost two weeks with my sister in MA. We even took a trip to NH to see my family’s old house and got to spend time with other family and friends. Spending the holidays with those I love always reminds me of why I am a consultant for Heritage Makers. Capturing memories and documenting them with great products is something I am truly passionate about. This holiday, I felt fortunate that all of my Heritage Makers gifts and Christmas cards turned out well and arrived on time. Being able to give my family and friends high quality personalized gifts is a great feeling. This year I wanted to create a gift for my husband. Since we’ve been married I had yet to create a book of our honeymoon. I made most of it without his knowledge and he was amazed at how well I had put it all together. It gave me great satisfaction to create something so special for him.
My year ended well with a family New Year’s Eve party. Most of my family was together, except for my brother and his family, and we all stayed up to ring in the new year, even the kids. I’m hoping that night is a sign of the year to come and all the wonderful memories we will make.

]]> There are so many uses for the products I sell. For some time, I have wanted to experiment and explore some of these alternatives. Finally I got my ideas together and finished designing the projects. A few weeks ago I was able to get them published. My order contained a playing card deck, a scrapbook page and an invitation. All of them turned out better then I expected. This is my first scrapbook page I have published and I was amazed by the heavy paper and clear image quality. I made this scrapbook page as a poster to frame and hang on the wall. The invitation was made to replace a 5×7 photo to show through the top of a keepsake box. Since I have kept some items from my deceased grandmother in it, it was fitting to include a picture of her and a heart warming quote on the invitation. The card deck I made for three purposes. First, as some new business cards. Second, as pictures from my wedding to fill frames with 2×3 pictures. The playing cards have a nice glossy finish that gives the small pictures a nice professional look. The third project is for a glass block craft idea. I haven’t tried to cut the cards and glue them to the blocks, but that was my plan for them. In this card deck, I also made a dishwasher dirty and a clean card. I have some old magnets that I want to cover and was hoping the cards would create nice personalized recycled magnets to proudly display.

I have other craft ideas in process and am pairing them with the products available. Once I complete them I will post the results.
