Last year I had written/designed a book about all the horses we've owned. My dad came to visit this weekend and spent some time reading it. He is a sensitive man, but I am reminded why what I do is so important. Getting our heritage down, telling our stories, lasting memories for my children and their children...

My latest idea is really inspiring me to actually get it done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know all the occasions I will need a greeting card: my sisters' birthdays, my parents, Mother's Day & Father's Day (for all the "Mothers" & "Fathers" in my family?), 5 more weddings, and, believe it or not, a recent funeral.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would be so easy to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Browse the Template Gallery</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XcduvmBpFis/T2eV5ZuVURI/AAAAAAAAAG4/4W82T9dAZd0/s1600/Picture+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="155" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XcduvmBpFis/T2eV5ZuVURI/AAAAAAAAAG4/4W82T9dAZd0/s320/Picture+5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Click on "Get and Keep Browsing" when I find a good one or one I may use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RNabN0dRuC8/T2eV5unjcdI/AAAAAAAAAHA/IMUC_uA9b_Q/s1600/Picture+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RNabN0dRuC8/T2eV5unjcdI/AAAAAAAAAHA/IMUC_uA9b_Q/s320/Picture+6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Build a collection of my favorite cards in my own templates.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hClcZZua5h8/T2eV50l44LI/AAAAAAAAAHI/q5f5G5eIKGY/s1600/Picture+8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hClcZZua5h8/T2eV50l44LI/AAAAAAAAAHI/q5f5G5eIKGY/s320/Picture+8.jpg" width="282" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Got to "My Templates" and get those cards done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I am not stuck with an impersonal card </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that cost me twice as much </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I bough at Target or Walgreens!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Mid-Month and nearly all the pictures have a place in the trip book...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
CHRONOLOGICALLY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are up to nearly 80 pages! I am so excited because this is the biggest project I have undertaken yet so far. The trip too three weeks, though! How could I do it in less?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also took so many pictures knowing I wanted to share this memory with my kids as their own memories started to fade. I want them to remember the Grand Canyon, the Pacific Ocean, the mountains and the desert, the canyons and the rivers, and the historic sites that they will learn about again someday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I designed this cover last August and I still love it! It will be 7.5x10 hardcover and beautifully crafted!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Personal, pictures with story, people and scenery, word art and embellishments...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The possibilities are endless!</div>

I have a few goals for this month to get done. Namely, a book on my trip last summer. We saw some amazing sights and we have lots of stories to tell. The dilemma? Time and energy! Once I sit down and start working, I get so much done! Last week I got pictures into 22 pages with background papers on 50! I have a feeling the book will be much longer than that after 15 states, 10 campgrounds, </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and so much more! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have set my goal: March 31st I will have it done. Do-able? Yep! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know the software well enough. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know what I want it to look like. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have all my pictures organized into files. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's stopping me? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mornings are filled with making breakfast and packing lunches, getting myself and kids dressed. Afternoons and evenings are filled with reuniting and playing with kids, eating dinner, and then trying to spend some quality time with the love of my life. It's easy enough to pull my lap top over and sit with him while he's on his lap top...so what's stopping me? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to stop this blog...and go work on my book! :-) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So...What's stopping you???</div>Rachel-Heritage Makers Consultanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11494603033061617101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1711905961881639865.post-72945017772034164232012-03-04T19:07:00.003-08:002012-03-05T09:36:18.894-08:00Easter Ideas<iframe src="http://www.heritagemakers.com/projectBrowserStandAlone.cfm?projectId=1745791&productId=15&projectSponsor=462364" width="600" height="450" > </iframe>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year's Easter card was well-received! How many people actually get an Easter card??? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make your loved one's smile with a card this year! This one was done from a template and took me 10 minutes to make while sitting on my couch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decorate for Easter? With <a href="http://www.getyourstorydown.com/">Heritage Makers</a>??? Yep!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few ideas:</div>
<br />

I've been a <a href="http://www.getyourstorydown.com/">Heritage Maker's</a> consultant for a year and a half, but I am finding new ways to really make connections with the possibilities! Seriously-they are endless! I have just published my very first "newsletter" that will be out monthly. My goal is to do a weekly blog entry with ideas and what I am working on lately. It's my mother's birthday today and I am ashamed to say that, as an HM consultant, I failed to create her a personal card and to have it shipped to her in a timely manner. She's forgiving, but I wish I had planned ahead! What I have had a chance to work on is a book about our trip last summer! Fifteen states, 10 campgrounds, 5700 miles! I can't wait to share it with you! In the meantime, check out my <a href="http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=dae201a613aa245ca312d500f&id=87be494220">newsletter</a> and like my business on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/GetYourStoryDown/157957734258272">facebook</a>. Head to the <a href="http://www.getyourstorydown.com/">website </a>and create an account for FREE if you have not done so already! Play around, create projects...you only pay for what you publish!
