Using regular photo albums where you would print 4x6 pictures and stick them in plastic squares are a thing of the past! Why not create a story from the pictures you took on that trip or from that memorable event? Think it's too hard, not when you use the website My Publisher's software to easily place your images into a neat collage.
I am a big fan of "My Publisher" I was introduced to them by one of my design clients who has me use them to design and create photo collage books for the Bar Mitzvah events she does. The printing quality is excellent and they always have great sales going on for photo book printing. It's easy to use and easy to re-order. You just download their software and drag your photo folder into the program. Then you can use their templates to easily collage pictures together in a unique way. I personally like designing the pages on my own, being a graphic designer, and then upload them into the blank pages as a full page. The books always come out perfect and there are never any "surprises" like any pages being off center, etc.
What's great is that you don't have to be a graphic designer to create a photobook on MyPublisher.com you just add the pictures in the spaces where you want them, you can add text, pick a cover image, and review the pages before you send it to them to print. The books arrive in a short time and you can even get them rushed if you need it for a special occasion. It's so easy, kids can even use this program.
Check out www.MyPublisher.com to make a professional looking photobook. They're great for event planners to show potential clients pictures of past events, showing off your fashion line, showing samples of your work, making a printed portfolio, gifts for family and friends and more!

NEW catalog pages to print and sell jewelry
Now you can sell jewelry before you buy from our website with our new print out catalogs!
Now that we offer the opportunity for you to choose your own pieces, you can download our print-out catalog of our featured items and use it to make sales before you purchase accessories from the website to re-sell.
There are a limited number each item, so be sure to have the most recent catalog available. We will let you know each time a new catalog is available for download. It will also be posted on the website: www.MyAccessoryBusiness.com/catalog/
1. Print out the catalog on your home computer from the website www.MyAccessoryBusiness.com Here is the direct link: www.myaccessorybusiness.com/content/MAB_feb2012.pdf Make sure to check our website for the most current catalog available. There will be a new catalog out every couple weeks. Please note that there is a limited number of each item available, once an item is sold out it may not be available again. We are not responsible for items that are sold out online. In order to avoid this, we suggest pre-purchasing the items instead.
2. Write in your own prices in the spaces provided next to the jewelry. It is a good idea to sell each piece for about 3x the amount. If a piece is $2.99, you should charge between $9 - $15. Add on a shipping cost if you will have to mail the piece to your customer when it arrives to you. We suggest charging sales tax according to the taxes in your state, you are responsible for your own sales. See this article about sales tax.
3. Show the catalog to family and friends and take orders for jewelry on the 3rd page of the catalog. You can collect the money when taking the orders or wait until the order has arrived to take the payment. Be sure to get information on how to contact them at a later date.

Three women who started a business to make a difference!
In 2004 three women from Dearborn, MI, Janeen Sullivan, Julie Sullivan, and Judy McGinty, started a Women's Expo that would not only be a fun shopping experience for women and fellow woman business owners, but also this expo has a great cause behind it raising money to support the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan. The expo is thrown in memory of Brittany Crawford who lost her fight with Leukemia in 2002.
Their goal was to offer something unique for women in the Dearborn area with products and services that would interest women. This event would be similar to a larger women's expo held in Novi, Mi annually. The event is held at the Ford Community and Performing arts Center. It not only raises awareness for the center and promotes memberships, it also supports a great cause.
A variety of businesses exhibit at the expo every year including jewelers, beauty, home improvement, arts, accessories, massage, spas, cooking, and more. There is also a bridal/ fashion show included. The show is attended by over 2,500 attendees with 100 exhibitors.
This story is inspiring not only because it's the story of women who started a business that helps other women business owners, but also because it was started in memory of a loved one with the hopes to help others who are diagnosed with Leukemia. What a wonderful way to honor her memory.
This years expo takes place on Sunday, March 4th, 2012 from 10am-5pm at the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center 15801 Michigan Ave, Dearborn MI 48126. Visit their website at www.showforwomen.com It's a great cause, so if you're a women who owns a business, you should consider donating to their silent auction.
