I just completed an adorable "Twas the Night Before Christmas book for my little ones. Living here in the Raleigh area, away from family, I try and make every single moment of the holidays special.
Putting this book together only took me 15 minutes! I love our template gallery!

"Holiday Hits" Early Publishing Discounts Available November 1st with Heritage Makers!
"Holiday Hits" Early Publishing Discounts Available November 1st!
During November you can double your discounts by taking advantage of two great specials! The first you already know about–the “Gotta Try It!” publishing points packages. This is simply the best way to get started in Heritage Makers. Save 40% when you buy packages of 25, 70, or 150 points combined with a 3-month Premier account.
Now “Holiday Hits” provides a second way to save! Each week during November we are featuring a different group of Heritage Makers products. If you complete and publish these items within the specified weeks, you will getan additional 10% discount at checkout. In other words, the points required for each item will be reduced by 10% when they go to publish. What a great way to stretch your dollars during the holiday season! Here’s an example: The regular price for a 16 x 20 wrapped canvas is $89.95, but if you publish during the second week of November (7th-13th) you will only be charged $80.95.
To help you plan for the holidays, we have created a special “Gift Publishing Planner.” It lists each product included in the promotion and indicates the time period during which the project should be published to receive the 10% discount. It also has a weekly planner/gift list with blank lines so you can fill in names, specific gift ideas, and the number of points required for each item. Total the points for all of the items on your list. If you need more points, consider purchasing one of the “Gotta Try It” options (if you need Premier), or a regular points package (if you already have Premier). You can download the Gift Publishing Planner here.
Holiday Hits will be officially announced November 1st. A special home page ad will link to further details on the early publishing specials and several helpful resources. For example, there will be links to specific project suggestions in the template gallery. Furthermore, Lynda Angelastro has recorded special 15-20 minute video demos for each week offering gift ideas, tips and tricks, and more! This is the best time of the year to be a Heritage Maker. Don’t miss this opportunity to create holiday gifts that will be cherished by everyone on your list!
Note: The current “Card Crazy” special is creating a lot of excitement. Guess what’s on the list for an early publishing discount during the first week of Holiday Hits – that’s right – greeting cards! Buy cards now and get a double discount (or increase the discount they already received) by publishing your cards early!

Why take photos?
Author: Fred Molesworth, Salem, Oregon
I'm willing to bet your grandchildren will be upset with you. Here's why. Imagine, 50 years from now, as your grandchildren or great grandchildren are going through the boxes in the attic. They are enthralled with the treasures and keepsakes they find and how they tie into the story of your life.
Amongst all the old items, they find a number of round silver objects. Some have writing on them, some are blank, but they resemble some kind of a small platter about 4″ across, with a hole in the middle.
Puzzled, they take them to their parents. "What are these, Mom?" they ask. "Oh, I think those are all of grandma's photographs. Yep, here's one labeled `My Wedding'. Here's some more labeled `Family Photos,' and some more labeled `Vacations'."
"How do we look at them?" they ask.
"Well, I'm not sure we can. First of all, no one has the device that reads these anymore. Besides that, I doubt after all these years that they're any good anymore. Being stored in the attic, the heat and cold probably ruined them."
The kids are very disappointed. Nowhere amongst all the treasures are any actual prints. All that history is lost. Their connection with the past and all the wonderful stories that might have gone along with all those photographs are gone as well.
Along with all the wonders of our digital age come some significant problems that most people have never thought of.
Did you know that over 90% of all images taken on today's digital cameras are NEVER PRINTED? I'm guilty of that myself. I have gigabytes of personal photographs that have never been seen other than on a computer screen.
In the old days, film went to the lab and everything that was printable was printed. Even if it was a bad photograph, it still was a hard copy, a part of your family history and it had permanence. Even if they never went in an album, they at least went into a box, to be discovered as treasures years later.
The same problem exists in professional portrait studios today. Many people are simply asking for the images on CD. "I'll print them later" or "I'll design my own wedding album" are common phrases. Usually this is done with the thought that they'll save some money by doing it themselves.
But you know what? Most never make it into any kind of an album. Life gets busy and 20 years later they'll be looking for some way to read those disks.
I bring this up only to point out the importance of what we, as a professional studio do. Our job is not just to create the images, to create wonderful story telling photographs about the people in front of our camera; it's to create a final product, whether it be a professionally retouched and printed single image, a family heirloom wall portrait, or an incredible storybook album using a collection of the images that were created.
It doesn't matter whether it's a wedding, a newborn baby, a senior or a family. Having the final product created for you is important. To do less is to leave the job half done and to short change the customer.
So, if you're asked for a disk with all the images "so I can print them later", that's fine, just make sure your customers understand that if not printed, the conversation their grandchildren will want to have about their family history may never be able to happen.
