Look what I’ve just created out of a deck of cards.  Three sets of Valentine’s cards for my girls to take to school and daycare.  They are individially personalized and as cute as a button.  I plan to punch a hole in each one, tie a red ribbon through it and tie it to a sweet treat for them to pass out to their friends.  All of this and I didn’t even have to set foot in a store.  You can create this too and there’s still time to do it.  The best part is you don’t even have to start from scratch.  If you have an account with Heritage Makers, which I can easily create for you, I can pass my template to you and all you have to do is change the names and pictures and ta-da, you’ve got your own customized Valentine’s cards.  Be the talk of your child’s class Valentine’s party.  Call or email me today.  It’s so easy and lots of fun!!!

A personalized storybook to one of the most influential women in the world gets national attention

Heritage Makers personal publishing consultant creates book for Oprah Winfrey and gets personal thank-you phone call.

Provo, Utah – September 25, 2008 – Heritage Makers, the leader in personal publishing for hardbound storybooks, recently received some unprecedented attention. Brenda Kruse, an independent consultant from Waterloo, Iowa, created a 5×5 storybook for Oprah Winfrey that resulted in a personal thank-you call from the celebrity.

The storybook celebrated the life of Oprah’s beloved dog, Gracie, who passed away in May 2007. After being personally moved by Winfrey’s August 2007 editorial in O, The Oprah Magazine, Kruse wanted to celebrate the emotional story of “Gracie’s Gift” and created a treasured keepsake about Oprah’s experience with her 2-year-old dog.

“I just felt compelled to put this heartfelt story into print for Oprah to keep handy so she could keep what she called ‘Gracie’s Gift’ in mind. I knew our little 5×5 brag book was just the vehicle to deliver that message. She could keep it on her desk, in her purse, or by her bedside…wherever she wanted to be reminded to slow down in life by seeing Gracie’s smile,” recalls Kruse.

In honor of the one-year anniversary of Gracie’s death,. Kruse sent the storybook to Oprah Winfrey’s offices at Harpo Studios. The storybook arrived and was personally received by Oprah. “Shortly after I mailed the storybook, I received a ‘private call’ on my cell phone that went right to voicemail,” shares Kruse. “When I checked the message, I was stunned to hear a familiar voice say, ‘Brenda Kruse…Oprah Winfrey…’ I had received a personal thank-you call from one of the most influential people in the world! And it all happened because I wanted to give the gift of story to someone who has touched so many lives herself.”

Heritage Makers believes in the power of the individual and in the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. Kruse states, “Many people can say Oprah made a difference in their lives. But not many people can say they’ve made a difference in Oprah’s life! With this small storybook, I had a huge impact on a very influential person. Now, that’s the power of storybooking. And that’s why I am a Heritage Makers consultant.”

Brytt Cloward, Heritage Makers Vice President of Sales and Marketing says, “Our independent consultants really believe in the power of story to strengthen homes and families. A simple thing like a storybook can have lasting effects on many generations. Whether you’re a celebrity or a stay-at-home mom, Heritage Makers storybooks have the power to change lives. Kruse demonstrates the spirit of heritage that so many of our consultants deliver one storybook at a time in homes across the U.S. and Canada. With this effort, we truly are ‘binding families together.’”

I am so excited because just this week I published my first Cornerstone book.  What’s a Cornerstone book you ask?  A Cornerstone book or story is one of the four pillars that make up the most important stories of your life.  Some Cornerstone stories include your grandparents’ story, your parents’ story, your own love story, the story of your life (maybe leading up to becoming a parent) and lastly, your children’s stories.  These Cornerstone stories shaped your family to become who they are today and will shape the future of your family.  Everyone has a story to tell and needs to take the time to sit down and write it!  So what is your story? 

Check out my parents’ story.  My mom wrote the story and I put together the book.  The published copy should be coming in the mail any day now and my mom will be surprising my dad with the book a week from today, September 4, their anniversary.  We can’t wait to see his reaction as he reads their love story!

This story was done in an 8×8 storybook using a Heritage Makers template! Click on the “Full Screen” button below to get a closer look.
