TODAY, Nov 26th is Small Business Saturday!

What is "Small Business Saturday®" and why is it important? AMEX started promoting this as a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.

On November 26, everyone is being asked to "Shop Small" with their favorite local stores and home-based businesses to help fuel the economy. When we all shop small, it will be huge!

If you haven't ordered your holiday cards yet, you can help support my small business AND I have a great sale to offer you. 20% off all cards. Cards start as low as $0.64 and I take care of designing the cards for you!

Here's some of the latest samples of card designs:

Do Something EASY & MEANINGFUL for Our Military This Holiday Season

“Everyone has a purpose in life…a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.” - Deepak Chopra


On Veterans Day last week, we reflected on the sacrifices members of the U.S. Armed Forces made and continue to make everyday to protect our freedoms. I am so grateful for this and wanted to find a way to show my appreciation and help others do the same.

Sending a “touch of home” to American men and women who serve our country is the perfect way to express your appreciation and support during the holiday season. Making a card is a simple act of kindness that means the world to our soldiers and their families, especially during this time of the year.

If you'd like to make a hero feel special this holiday season, please consider sending a card through my Heritage Makers website to the Holiday Mail for Heroes program. I designed four different card templates to use especially for this. They were just approved and loaded into our template gallery yesterday.



It's EASY and only takes a few minutes. Cards as low as $0.64

This Week's Holiday Hits Sale - Cookbooks

Through Monday, Nov 30th (11AM - PST), get a package of Heritage Makers Cookbooks and each book comes out to only $15! Not too late to have the best Christmas presents this year using Heritage Makers. It's easy with one of our amazing templates! You can put your family's favorite recipes and pictures together in one of these wire-bound books.

One of my clients had talked about how she plans to collect one to two recipes from each of her siblings and will put a few photos of them alongside those recipes and then order enough copies to give each of them one as a gift. She's also giving it to her nieces who don't have families of their own yet, and she felt it was important to do this so that they would have it and could also pass it down when the time came.

My grandmother was such a great cook and as a kid I loved being able to help her in the kitchen and being the first to sample the food she cooked. I would've loved a cookbook of her recipes so that I could have shared it with my family. But since she is no longer with us, and her recipes were never written down, I will be starting a new collection of family recipes. As we gather over Thanksgiving, I will be collecting recipes from my mom and my aunts to start this new family cookbook because when my daughters are older, I want them to have this piece of their heritage live on and celebrated with their families.

Greeting Cards as low as 80 cents!!! PLUS We Can Send Them Out for You...

The Holiday Hits Sale!

November Pick of the Month

The November "Pick of the Month" is one of my favorites for this time of year and makes a perfect holiday gift for family and friends. At these prices, it's also very budget friendly :)

Every year, my family looks forward to receiving their calendar as their Christmas present from us. I include everyone's birthdays (along with the celebrant's picture on that date), anniversaries and other important family events or dates to remember. I know it's something they will enjoy all year long.

This is one of our newest calendar templates that I personally like and will be using for our 2010 family calendar. If you don't already have a free account on my website, go to www.StorybookHeritage.com and click on the sign up link at the top right of the page.
