Do-It-Yourself Books - You don’t have to be a “writer” to write great family stories.
Every Picture Tells a Story $6.95
Is a picture really worth 1000 words? Only if you write those words down for future generations. From the workshop of the same name, “Every Picture Tells a Story” uses exercises and examples to help you turn your cherished family photographs into written memories and create a true legacy for your loved ones.
A Message to My Grandchild $7.95
Don’t you wish you had a heartfelt letter from a beloved grandparent? Someday, your grandchildren will cherish a letter from YOU describing your hopes and dreams, sharing the lessons you’ve learned, and the wisdom you’ve gained. This workbook will help you organize your ideas and give you plenty of “thought prompts” to get your words down on paper. Even if your grandchild is too young to appreciate your words now, your message will become more treasured as time goes by.
Books Written by Our Clients
“Yesterday I wore myself out loving my family.” From December 2006 through December 2007 Maria Motch committed to writing a a page a day, and dedicated the journal to her biggest love, her granddaughter Isabella.
