What to Love About Heritage Makers this #friyay

Happy #friyay!!  We have spent the first Fridays of each month of 2018 with shout-outs about Heritage Makers.  This blog has been shouting out to Heritage Makers for 9 years now, but on #friyays we learn from other users why they chose Heritage Makers and what they love about it.  In some cases, people mention what it's like working with me as their Heritage Makers consultant (OR hiring me to make their Heritage Makers projects for them), but everybody tells you what's great about Heritage Makers.

For our last #friyay of 2018, we'll go out with a bang--with THREE shout-outs.  It's important (and fun!) to find out why people use and love Heritage Makers, and come back again and again.

First we hear from Heidi who has been using Heritage Makers for about 12 years--almost as long as I have!  She has made lots of special things for her family, but one of Heidi's major Heritage Makers projects each year is to compile the photos and memories of the drill team she coaches.  It's almost like a personal yearbook just for the team!  I wish you could see one--it's an AMAZING keepsake!!

Thanks for stopping by.  We have a 2023 UPDATE before you read on:  Heritage Makers and Snap2Finish became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto uses only templates, so the creativity showcased here is no longer available there, and they also no longer have capability to print previously-created projects like these from the old system. YPhoto is not a photo storage site like Heritage Makers was.

Emily has done so many sweet and wonderful things with Heritage Makers.  From baby announcements to books that help her loved ones in the military stay connected to her little ones, Emily has created absolute family treasures using Heritage Makers.

Let's send our last #friyay out with a bang!  Here's a bonus shout-out from Carol.  Carol is a member of my Heritage Makers team, and this gal knows to her core how vitally important memories, photos, connections and keepsakes are to the heart and soul.  You might remember Carol from her guest post here at LifeTales Books:  Memories Connect Us.  If you haven't "met" Carol yet, go back to that post and be inspired by her heart.

Are you passionate about memories, photos, and connections?  If you would like to make memory-keeping your business, you will be interested to know what Carol had to say about my help as her mentor when she started her Heritage Makers business. 

There's absolutely nothing like doing something so important to kids, to families, and to your own heart.  

Get started making something meaningful right here.

Happy Heritage Making!

#friyay from Ladies Who Love Heritage Makers

Welcome to #friyay -- our monthly feature on the first Fridays of the month during 2018.  It's a chance to find out what people are saying about Heritage Makers!

We'll start by hearing what Katie has to say.  She has been a Heritage Makers user for about 4 years now.  I have loved seeing what she does with her beautiful books.  She copies and pastes photos and entries from her blog into gorgeous Heritage Makers books that her family will always have and cherish.  I love her dedication to creating heritage.

Our second #friyay shout-out comes from Elin who has created gorgeous wall canvases for her home.  I love how she has made them match the decor of each room while showing off family pictures or inspirational words.

#friyay -- Why You'll Love Heritage Makers

I can't believe this year's #friyay feature is wrapping up!  On the first Friday of each month during 2018, we've heard from Heritage Makers users to find out what they love about it.

This month we hear from Cindy, a gal who found me through an online search.  She had started a Heritage Makers book as a gift for her husband but ended up hiring me to finish it up for her.  It was fun to be able to provide that service for her and see how thrilled she was with the finished product.

We also hear from Dina who has probably made as many Heritage Makers projects as I have (and that's saying a lot).  I loved seeing the book she made about her Grandma after she passed away.  It's a priceless treasure!  She has her beautiful Heritage Makers canvases, prints, and books scattered throughout her home.

Next, we hear from another TRUE Heritage MAKER, Sandy.  I met Sandy about six or seven years ago, and I am always amazed with the next brilliant idea she has for publishing with Heritage Makers.  Everything she does is from the heart, and she uses her personal publishing to really make a difference.  Sandy first made cookbooks for her family, passing down time-honored, cherished family recipes and has gone on to make countless, PRICELESS gifts using Heritage Makers.

#friyay -- What People Love About Heritage Makers

It's the first Friday of the month!  That means it's #friyay here at LifeTales Books--the day we hear from Heritage Makers users/lovers!  We're going to see a couple this month so we can finish our #friyay feature by the end of 2018!

Our first #friyay today comes from one of the sweetest people I've ever met, Karin.  I've quoted Karin here on the blog before as saying, "I've decided it's important for me to do the things only *I* can do."  She had 20 years' worth of photos ready to go into digital photo and memory books, and she knew it was important to do the important things.  I used to live near Karin, and I loved seeing her completed books!

Our second #friyay is from Cassie, who suffered a stroke several years ago (and she's young!).  She's doing fine but has trouble with some of the fine motor things that she'd always been used to doing like card-making, gifts, etc.  I love how much she LOVES Heritage Makers and the difference it has made for her, allowing her to do the things she loves in a different (digital) way.

2023 UPDATE:  Heritage Makers and Snap2Finish became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto uses only templates, so the creativity showcased here is no longer available there, and they also no longer have capability to print previously-created projects like these from the old system. YPhoto is not a photo storage site like Heritage Makers was.

What Makes Heritage Makers Great: #friyay

It's another #friyay -- our monthly feature where we hear straight from Heritage Makers users why they use and love it.  Our #friyays will end at the end of 2018, so we need to double-up so we hear from as many people as we can!!

Our first #friyay comes from Elda, one of the most thoughtful people I know.  She hires me periodically to make special gifts for her friends and clients.  Elda sent me this thank-you after I made a special Heritage Makers book for a dear friend of hers.  I just love hearing things like this!

(By the way, my for-hire information can be found {here}.)

Our next #friyay comes from Catherine, a young mom of three.  She had always been a traditional (paper) scrapbooker but changed to Heritage Makers when she saw how much faster she could get her memory-keeping done.  One of the big draws of Heritage Makers, she told me, is that she can do it with her daughter without a big mess.

It's a beautiful #friyay night!

It's #friyay once again--our monthly feature where we hear from actual Heritage Makers users what they think about Heritage Makers.  This month's #friyay comes from Alena, a dear friend of mine, who has some kind words about my own passion, my own WHY of being a Heritage Makers consultant and helping people get their stories told and photos preserved.

Fantastic #friyay

It's the first Friday of the month again, so it's time for another fantastic #friyay post!  This post comes to us from a friend I made because she's family!  Janna has been making {family yearbooks} with Heritage Makers for about 8 years now.  She makes a lot of other great things with Heritage Makers (like her daughter's high school graduation announcements--they were SO beautiful), but her main draw to Heritage Makers was the family yearbook. I remember her telling me after her fourth child was born that she would hold the sleeping baby while sitting at the computer--she worked on her family yearbook during baby naps!  Let's see why Janna loves using Heritage Makers.

Thank Goodness It's #friyay

It's the first Friday of the month, so it's time for another #friyay where we find out what people are saying about Heritage Makers.  This one comes to us from a good friend of mine, Wendy, whom I met when I lived in Washington.  For the last couple of years, she has been in the throes of graduate school.  She didn't have time to create some really special books documenting with photos, letters, and e-mails her son's {2-year missionary service}, so she asked if she could hire me to do it for her.  It was honestly a fantastic experience for me, too, getting to be the fly on the wall and learn about her son's experiences and service.  Wendy had never used Heritage Makers before, and though she could go into her account as I was working and see the digital version of the books, here's what she said when she actually received the books:

#friyay Night Lights

It's the first Friday of the month, so that means it's time to shine a light on what people are saying about Heritage Makers!  This month's #friyay is from Marcie.  We connected online several years ago and clicked right away.  She is a busy mom of 5 and is always thinking about how to make connections between generations.  Her passion is helping the elderly tell and record their life stories.  My goal is to someday meet my friend Marcie.  :)

February #friyay!

Welcome to our second #friyay, where we find out from actual users why Heritage Makers is fantastic.  Today's #friyay comes from a dear friend, Casey, who was one of my first Heritage Makers clients back in 2005.  She has created some beautiful gifts for her family using Heritage Makers hardbound books over the years.  She has a knack for focusing on what's meaningful and lasting, and she shares it generously.

It's #friyay!

Welcome to #friyay at LifeTales Books!  On the first Friday of every month, we will find out what people are saying about Heritage Makers (and me, in some cases).  We'll start our first #friyay with a message from the very first Heritage Makers consultant, Wendy, who is a dear friend.  We've known each other since elementary school and became good friends in high school.  Wendy was one of the first people to introduce me to Heritage Makers, way back in early 2005.  Here's what Wendy has to say on this #friyay:
