Catching up...

Wow, life has been busy, busy these days!

I tried to write a new post not too long ago and when I clicked to post it, there was some ridiculas error and it didn't go through. Bummer. It was all cute and witty. What a shame.

Anyways.....

I had two "deadlines" to meet a couple weeks ago. I was stressed about them, but I did make it after all.

Yeah, the story isn't so witty the second time around.

I did post the two new books; one is about our weekend in Vegas and the other is about our two-year stint in Chicago-land. Check 'em out below.

I am now diving into more of my Mom's projects--this time it's the honeymoon book! They toured southern Arizona for ten days--Tombstone, Kartchner Caverns, Queen Mine, and tons more. They even stayed in a notoriously haunted hotel on Halloween night! That one will be posted when it's finished.
My next personal project will be a 7 x 10 storybook about a trip to San Diego a friend and I took last summer.

Post Vegas...

Well, as promised, I have returned from good ol' Las Vegas. It was great there! The weather was good--got a little chilly at night though. I visited most of the places I had been hoping to, save for Bellagio fountains and there was just no time for any shows.
Also as promised, I took lots of photos--and I'm working on my newest book to house them--"Viva Las Vegas!"
The Freemont Street Experience is outstanding! If you ever visit the city, make sure to include Downtown (or as the locals call it "The Old Strip").

On to other topics...when I returned and checked my email, I found out that Heritage Makers has, indeed, released a new product! It is called the cookbook, but may be used for any purpose. It has a soft cover, I believe, and is spiral bound. Soon, there will be many templates in the template gallery (as always, designed by other consultants like myself) to help you to create your own cookbook--be sure to check in often!

Contact me to learn more about any and all things Heritage!

Viva Las Vegas!

Two days till Vegas!

For anyone who doesn't know, my husband and I are taking a mini vacation to the Strip this weekend, yay! Nickel slots, here I come (yeah, because I'm too cheap for them there pricey dollar slots, haha).
Of course, I'll be toting my camera everywhere--like the true tourist I am--and you can bet there will be a Heritage product at the end of this neon rainbow.

So, did you know just how many shows there are in Vegas--not to mention the vast variety? Yes, I have lived in Arizona nearly all my life and have never been to the Strip; no, I had no idea about the shows. Everyone knows about the cabaret (even me), Wayne Newton and Celine Dion of course, and even the Cirque Du Soliel. BUT, there is a Soprano's show! Oh, yeah, there is! It sounded like a ton of fun--the website (www.vegas.com) didn't give away too much, but for about $70 you can have a nice dinner with the cast before the show and get preferred seating for the show--and the show itself includes the entire audience. Sounds like a blast! Another one that we're leaning toward is the Price is Right show. It's basically the same as the one on TV, but with a different host and they let you sip cocktails in the audience. Woohoo--wouldn't that be nice to come home in a new car or something!
How exciting!
Next week, I will be sure to include you all in the telling of my own Vegas Vacation.
