	CORNERSTONE BOOKS At Heritage Makers our goal is to help you build a lasting legacy of family heritage and tradition through personalized books, posters, and other projects. To that end, we’ve created the Cornerstone Book series. We believe there are four essential books that every child should have in their family library: a book about their grandparents that teaches them where they came from and what kind of family legacy has been left to them a book about their parents that tells what it was like when Mom or Dad was growing up a book about themselves—what they were like as a baby and how Mom and Dad felt about their arrival a book about their family values—what is important to their family and what sets them apart There are several Cornerstone book templates in various sizes available in the Template Gallery. You can also preview completed samples of each Cornerstone book by clicking on the Products tab and then selecting the Cornerstone category. When you click on one of the samples, you can view a preview of the book. To help you write these important family stories, we’ve created story maps with page by page instructions, brainstorming ideas, questions and writing tips. You can view, download and print these story maps by going to your My Studio page and clicking on “story maps” in the Story Center. These four books will become the cornerstones of your family library. This series will help your children form their individual and family identities and reinforce your family’s values, all while showing your children just how important they are.

	THE HERITAGE MAKERS GIFT GUIDE Inspired by our inclusion on the “O List,” we’ve decided to make a Gift Guide of our own! This season, give a gift that will draw your family and friends closer together. Card Games: create your own personalized deck of cards. Make a family heritage memory game, a set of flash cards, or child’s game like Old Maid or Go Fish. You’ll find templates in our Template Gallery, or you can start from scratch. Calendars and date books: Make every page of your calendar memorable with pictures from the past year. A 5x5 or 7x5 date book doubles as a family and friends photo album that slips right into your purse. Personalized CD covers: What makes a mix CD even more personal? A cover designed by you. The 3-panel family fold is the perfect size. See the Template Gallery for a brand new CD cover template. Posters: You can hang a piece of your heritage right in your home. Canvas posters now come in 16x20 and 20x24 sizes. And be sure to check out our FREE gallery wrap service! Individual Pages: Do you know an avid scrapbooker or family historian? Maybe you’re one yourself. Because Heritage Makers now offers individual 8x8, 8.5x11, and 12x12 pages, you can create tribute pages about a friend, family member or special event, slip it into a sleeve and insert it into your scrapbook. Or, frame it and hang it on the wall. Books, Books, Books: the most meaningful gifts are about heart and home. Give a gift that will become an heirloom.

	USPS TO CANADA DISCONTINUED With USPS, Canadians are having to pay Canada post brokerage fees that ultimately make the shipment more expensive than sending the product through UPS. In addition, USPS has been unreliable and expensive for our Canadian customers. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused to our Canadian friends. As of November 18, 2008 we will no longer offer the USPS shipping option to Canada. We hope you will now have a much better shipping experience with UPS.
