7 Reasons to be a Storybooker!

(Adapted from an article written by Candace May)

1. No mess! Requires no papers, embellishments, glue, pens, pictures, or trips to the store for those missing items. Sit on your couch with your laptop, while the kids watch a movie, and create all you want.

2. No need to go back through the years of scrapbook pages to fill in the story gaps you left because you didn't want to hand write the story and the computer wasn't handy. Journaling is just as fun as the rest of it now!

3. No more trips to the photo store to resize, recolor, or reprint pictures. You can do it all with the mouse. What took 3-5 pages of scrapbooking can now fit into 1 or 2 page layouts!

4. All-inclusive pricing. The cost of Premier account includes all the embellishments, alphabets, paper, etc. that you will ever need. No need to stock up on flowers, ribbons and the like. A lot less waste. And it's cheaper in the long run!

5. You don't get bored. You could get bored quite quickly with a computer program that doesn't change, or that is one dimensional that you can't learn anything new from. You will love the tutorials in Heritage Makers and the opportunities to learn new techniques and features. It keeps you hooked!

6. You can fill gaps in your traditional scrapbook with digital pictures from Heritage Makers. You can drag and drop into a template those events that perhaps didn't warrant a little extra time to scrap. You can do a page in 8 minutes with this and it looks fab!

7. It will warm your heart to make a book for your mother of her grandchildren. It will warm your heart to know that your children will have a sense of history in a storybook that will last a lifetime!

My first time!

Well, I finally did it - this is my first blog, ever! I never thought I would do such a thing, but I guess it is time to join the 21st century!

My focus is primarily storybooking and preserving our heritage. I don't feel it is too far from my focus of the past twenty years - lactation counseling and helping new parents feel good about their new role in life.

I believe in the power of story. I believe that our children have a better sense of themselves when they know where they come from. I believe we all desire to know more about our ancestry. I believe in the awesome power of community. I believe that "photos without stories are memories lost" (by Dr. Sharon Murdoch). I believe it is a tragedy that we are losing our heritage and sense of belonging.

So, I am now happy to say I have found another new role to enjoy - that of Heritage Maker. I feel good about helping others to re-discover their own heritage as well.

I hope this blog will be useful to those who want to learn more, be inspired, and to see what is new on the horizon. And above all, I hope this is fun!
