4 generations Family Tree Clock

Family and Family History have something in common, beside the name: they require passion, and devotion. They require TIME.
Remind yourself and your family about this with a Family Tree Clock like this:

It has a family picture in the center with parents and children, with pictures of the grandparents on the 4 sides and then pictures of the great grandparents in place of some of the numbers.
It's a very inexpensive way to express your love for your Family and Genealogy to everyone that is welcomed in your home.

You can find instruction on how to create a clock like this here. 
You will also find more clock templates in the Template Gallery on my website, just type "clock" in the search box.
While these templates might be sized for specific clocks, you might just resize their images to make them fit any size clock, up to 12 inches  (inside diameter).

52 weeks storybook

Sometimes writing our own family storybook might seem such a huge task, and we end up procrastinating to the point that it might be years before we catch up, if ever...
It might be helpful to take 10 minutes each week to choose your favorite pictures of the week and insert them in a folder called "52 weeks".
This will help you create a storybook based on the 52 weeks of your year, and will help you be on top of it without stressing so much!
If you go to www.preservemyheritage.com and look in the Template Gallery, you will find this very easy to use Template that has a page for each week, with space for photos and text to write your memories of that week.

Here is the cover:

and the preface:

and an example of the pages:

Just choose it as your template, and start adding your pictures and story! It's that easy!
(If you don't have an account yet, just sign up at www.preservemyheritage.com)

Preserve your memories before they fade!
