HERITAGE BLOCKS - ROCK!
There are soooo many great things about Heritage Blocks. Here are my TOP THREE...
1. 100% Toddler/Kid-Proof - That's right! Kids can play with them and see and learn about their family too - building heritage, block by block.
2. No Frames Needed - The low cost of the print, block and adhesive is it! No fancy frames are additional costs. These attractive blocks are a great way showcase family, story, memories and legacies.
3. Great Gift for ANYONE - No matter the person or age, Heritage Blocks are a fantastic gift that they will LOVE! Just choose or create your own design and adhere them to the blocks. Now you have a beautiful gift that will be a huge hit!
Instructions for Making Heritage Blocks:
Cut a standard 2x4 into smaller blocks then I created a template with custom vintage patterns to give the blocks a unified look. We added the photos and text then sent off to print! Kate cut the pieces out and modge-podged them onto the blocks. The Heritage Makers template I created has 2 tall blocks on one 12x12 printed page and 3 square blocks on one 12x12 printed page. You can make the whole set of 5 blocks for less than $15 - that includes the template, printing and materials!
Like the Template Shown? Contact me and I will place it in your Heritage Studio account with your order.

Jill's Story (Template Design By Jill Means)
Here are the "heritage blocks" I created about my grandparents. My sister-in-law, Kate and I wanted to feature my grandparents in our homes, but we didn't really want to take up wall space with framed photos. We created these blocks instead. You can put them on a table, shelf, or wall ledge. People can pick them up and read them, kids can even play with them.

The Heritage of a Name
What's in a name? LOTS!
Names are our own personal banners that we carry with us wherever we go in life.
First names - Perhaps we are named after someone and the name comes with a story - a heritage. That is the case with my daughter Ellie. She is named after my wonderful and beautiful grandmother who has since passed on but we are reminded of her through Ellie - and she is adding her own legacy to the name. I love it!
Sometimes, like in the case of my son Connor, it's the first name the mom and dad agree on, so it becomes a keeper. His name is "new" - and he is building a heritage for it every day - one that will become a legacy even at the mention of his name and perhaps his name will be carried on in generations to come.
Last names always come with a story. They are our heritage in the sum of one word. What the story is...well, that is part of the heritage but we are adding to it every day - for better or for worse.
I LOVE the storybook that my friend, Heidi Arave, did. It is a beautiful discovery and reminder of what their name is all about. In a few pages, it shares her family's values and what they stand for. Her young son recently made a good choice and he said, "I did that because I am an Arave, Mom, and that's what Araves do!"
This is a CORNERSTONE book - one of the four foundation books of building your family's heritage library. I can't wait to make my own.
If you would like me to transfer this template so that you can make your own "What It Means to Be A..." 8x8 Storybook, please let me know and I will transfer the template to your account. (It is a Basic template - No Premier Membership is needed).
Thanks for sharing - again! - Heidi!
You know that commercial that says, "What's in your wallet?" Well, today I am asking...
"What's In YOUR Name?" - That is something we can all decide for ourselves. Live your legacy today!

Happy Birthday! - Great Ideas for Birthday BLISS
I haven't bought Birthday invitations, thank you notes or even a special gift at the store in YEARS!
I don't have to - I have Heritage Makers! Easy. Fun. Affordable and Meaningful...
From my own computer, I can use pictures that mean the most and create personal touches and MEANINGFUL gifts that are so fun to create and so priceless to give and share - and I do all of this with Heritage Studio! Take a look at some of the ways you can customize any birthday and make it one that will be remembered for years to come...
INVITATIONS
My kids have had custom invitations for their birthdays for the past few years and it has become a fun part of their birthday tradition. First, we pick a theme and then we choose a photo - or a few- from memories past that fit right in and add it to the invite. I spend just a little more than buying a generic pack at the store but the results are priceless and oh, so worth it!
THANK YOU NOTES
At the party, of course I am going crazy with the camera and taking tons of pictures (when I am not dishing out ice cream or getting cake out of the carpet). Then, we just put the pictures of guests into a custom "Thank you" note to thank them for coming and for their gift. They never get thrown away - they become a gift right back to the special guest. It also gets my kids really involved in the "Thank you" process and not just the "getting" part of the birthday.
POSTERS
Posters are a GREAT gift idea. You can showcase a collage of photo memories on a 12x18 or 18x24 poster and give it "as is" or in a frame. You can create your own design or use one of the MANY templates in the Template Gallery.
Melissa's story about how she uses Heritage Makers posters:

Melissa's story about how she uses Heritage Makers posters:
I have always done a photo collage for all major events. Weddings, funerals, anniversaries, birthday milestones… I used to spend hours at a Kodak kiosk scanning and printing photos, then hours of cutting and glueing to a tri-fold poster board. Often spending the night before the event up until wee hours of the morning finishing it up… even my own wedding we were glueing photos on the morning of. With Heritage Makers it takes less time to put together (especially now that I made a collage template to use), because of the shipping and production time I have to finish it early which actually takes stress of as the event gets closer and since it’s a much better quality it can be framed and becomes a gift as well for the people involved. Before when the event was over we always had to pull the collage apart and it was sort of depressing. I mean what do you do with a poster board of photos it just doesn't hold up. I did a big poster like this for my dads 60th and it now hangs in his dining room, my sisters wedding one now hangs in her apartment. Now my parents have an upcoming 40th anniversary and I am trying to think what to do, plus my moms 60th is also this year… I cant keep making them a collage or their walls will be too full.

Life - Organized
Have you had an "A-ha!" moment recently?
I just had one and I wanted to share it with you.
My dear friend and fellow consultant, Heidi Arave, created an AMAZING Heritage Makers project, using the new softbound, spiral bound book.
Nope, it's not a cookbook - even though I do LOVE that idea!
But when I saw her new project - and now a template that I can share with YOU - it happened, a big, ol' "A-HA!" - like I haven't had in awhile. Yep, it's that good!
Heidi created a PLANNER!!! It has her favorite photos and she can customize it however she wants with what is important to her life and needed in her own personal and family's schedule. I LOVE IT!
Just think of the ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES you could do with this template! You can completely CUSTOMIZE it to whatever your own needs are - business, menus, school activities, exercise, journal, address book, grocery lists, recipes, inspiring quotes, personal goals, dates that are important to you and your life - it can have a space for whatever YOU need!
And the best part - it's YOUR favorite photos that can be on every page. This one planner can be a home to everything that is important to you and your schedule - your life.
Now, a "heads up" - this particular format is a quarterly planner. I like it best like that because it gives more room for writing, notes, etc. but you can customize it however you wish and you can add additional pages - up to 50 pages total. Me? I am going to publish a new one every three months and save them.
Ready to be inspired?
Take a peek and click on the play button. Thanks Heidi. You made my day.
Want your own?
The softbound, spiral bound books are ON SALE right now! Just contact me and I will transfer this template and the credits will be in your Heritage Makers account.
The template is also going to be ONE of the FREE TEMPLATES I give away as a special BONUS on my Online Workshops! (See my calendar in the sidebar and click on the link to RSVP for an upcoming Online Workshop. They are tons of fun with LOTS of great ideas!) The templates that I am going to show are NOT available in the Template Gallery.
Please let me know if I can help you get started or with any of your projects.
Have a wonderful weekend!

MARCH is HERE...and it's a MARVELOUS month for Heritage Making!
Top o' the mornin' everyone!
Okay, I admit it. I have been counting down the days for March to get here - -and not just to "officially" celebrate my Irish roots.
I love February. I do. I have nothing against it. But March - oh, March. You bring the sounds of birds chirping, the warm sun comes back to give little "treats" and remind us for a longer stay to come. The big, bulky boots and parkas soon evolve to sweaters and even a carefree pair of flip flops every now and then. March - you bring the reminder of hope and new beginnings and of brighter days that are ours now - and that are to come.
And March brings NEW TEMPLATES, NEW SALES and NEW INSPIRATION to your heritage making.
Don't pack up those winter memories with the down comforters and mittens - they will soon be forgotten. Put them into a poster or a perfect little storybook. There are so many to choose from - even the new softbound book!
Here are some ideas for your March projects:
Mother's Day - Get those amazing Mother's Day gifts ready now, for a Mother's Day that the women in your life will treasure for years to come! New templates are already in the Template Gallery and more are coming soon! PLUS check out the Mother's Day Packages that are ON SALE now!
Father's Day - It's never too soon to start creating something special for Dad and the other special men in your life story. You can create an easy project - and even a special card! - with the templates in the Template Gallery and SAVE BIG on the Father's Day Packages!
Happy Birthday! - I don't buy invites or Birthday cards at the store anymore! I can create and give custom Birthday wishes at a fraction of the cost! You can see the great templates in the Template Gallery or join my Online Workshop (see the "Mark MY Calendar" section on the right side)
Baby Stories - Every birth has a unique story all its own and a very special baby as the star. It's never too late to preserve and share the story of your little one(s) and the Template Gallery has some beautiful templates to announce the special arrival and to share the story. Just do a search for "Baby" in the Template Gallery and be inspired! (More great Baby Story ideas will be shared on my Online Workshop this month. Please be sure to RSVP on the "Mark MY Calendar" section in the right column.
Be sure to click on the "sale" topic in the "Find Your Topic" section of my blog for amazing SALES this month - Club Premier is back!
Please visit my business blog often and I will be sure to post new project ideas and more throughout the month.
As always, please contact me if I can help you with your Heritage Makers projects, questions, scanning, etc. Thank you!
Happy March everyone!

- Add your own photos - Add your own text - Change design - Change color
...and more!
You can do it all and use the template as a great foundation to get you started!
The following recorded tutorials will help you create your own Heritage Makers project, using one of the online templates.
Using a Basic Template (if the template does not have "Premier Membership" noted next to it in the Template Gallery, it is a Basic template).

Story Writing Tips
"I can't wait to get started! I just don't know how to write the story!"
I have heard this time and time again and I am here to put your mind at ease and to help you every step of the way!
First of all, your Heritage Studio account is packed with great tools to help you get started with writing your story.
STORY MAPS - Are available in a variety of themes. You simply download and print the Story Map that you want to use and you answer the questions for each page. The answers become your story! You can take the Story Map with you to interview loved ones in person or over the phone or just to put pen to paper for your own thoughts. I like to include a Story Map, if I am giving a credit as a gift.
Additionally, I have these great tools that may be helpful to you...
STORY WRITING TIPS - Here is a little "support system" that you can review and use the tips to help you write your special story.
COLLECTING ORAL HISTORIES - Wonderful advice and insight from Robin Foster McClure in collecting oral histories from others.
