Fun Christmas Gift Ideas
The holidays are quickly approaching and it's time to get serious about the gifts we're going to be giving. Don't just buy something because you have to give a gift, give a gift this year that will be treasured and used, and for sure not returned or re-gifted.

I'll be posting some fun SUPER AFFORDABLE ideas you can give using Heritage Makers publishing studio. Some of the ideas are "crafty" using our 12x12 pages and other ideas are our beautiful products, such as cookbooks, calendars, playing cards and more!

Here's a sneak peak of some of the ideas... more to come in a few days:)

Proud of my hometown

http://capeannonline.yuku.com/topic/11945/t/Gloucester-Christmas-Parade.html

My mother just sent me this link. Please take a look at it. Second picture down, there she is running the table to send cards to our troops.

Here is what she said " 281 cards were signed and will be mailed out tomorrow with the 78 packages to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. We're still packing boxes, I think that it will be close to 100 by Friday. We're sending packages and hand knit afghans to an orphanage and hospital in Afghanistan, too."


I am so incredibly proud of her and all that she does to help not only my hometown, but our military.

My Mother works behind the scenes by choice and does not look for recognition at all. I want to give it to her now.... she is amazing.

Thanks for all you do Mom!

What are your traditions?

Here is the first storybook that I ever did..

My family has baked the same Sicilian Easter Cookies for over 100 years... This particular year was the first time my Mom was able to bake these special cookies with 3 of my children....

The 5 minute Greeting Card

It’s true. In just five minutes you can create the perfect greeting card, complete with pictures and personalized text. It’s really that easy.

To start:
1. Log in your (or create an)account at www.PagesofaLifetime.com
2. Go to the Heritage Makers Template Gallery.
3. Choose one greeting card template from the hundreds available.
4. Your template automatically goes into your Studio account.
5. Add pictures.
6. Add text.

And you’re finished! You can send greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries, the holidays, or simply just because. In 5 minutes, you can make someone’s day with a stunning greeting card.
And don’t forget about direct shipping. This holiday season you don’t need to battle the elements to get your cards to the post office. Direct ship your cards through Heritage Makers system. You can easily do this in checkout.



What are your traditions for birthdays, holidays, or other special days of the year? Traditions are important; they define our lives, our dreams, and the things that mean the most to us. Like the Butlers, you too have important family traditions to preserve.

For birthdays, the Butlers:

* Make each birthday a special day for each member of
the family.
* Have birthday parties at Grandma Butler’s house, in the park, at home, the zoo, the canyon, or even at a local
theme park.
* Play fun games such as Musical Chairs, Frisbee, piñata, and an English “parcel” game.

What do you do for birthdays? Do you have birthday parties? Play special games? Go somewhere special?

For Christmas, the Butlers:

* Decorate the Christmas tree with updated framed photos.
* Involve the kids in local charities, such as gathering blankets, toiletries, toys, and school supplies for the homeless shelter.
* Are awakened by the youngest child’s shouts of “It’s morning!” on Christmas day.
* Make Christmas a day about family, service, and giving.

What do you do for Christmas? Do you wait to open all presents on Christmas morning? Hang stockings up on the fireplace mantle? Go Christmas Caroling?

For Thanksgiving, the Butlers:

* Celebrate with extended family.
* Make festive pilgrim hats and Native American headdresses.
* Send out Thanksgiving greetings to express gratitude to friends and family.
* Take a restful nap after eating so much turkey.

What do you do for Thanksgiving? Do you have a big feast with extended family? Play a special Thanksgiving sports game? Play games with cousins? Make a special dish?

What special traditions do you have for other holidays? Do you celebrate Kwanza? Celebrate Hanukkah? Go on a special vacation each year?

If you like the Butler’s traditions, you can preserve your own. Find these three templates in the Heritage Makers template gallery. Show how you celebrate your family traditions.
