Just a Chapter projects
Clearwater Cabin

"Mom's Daily Notes"
This project started with over 2,000 emails sent daily to children and grandchildren, and a selection of original paintings. A collaborative family curation process resulted in a mini-book with a themed selection of quotes and emails.
Services provided: Curation support; editing; professional design; printing.
Custom Elements
Maps and Family Trees
Custom elements can be a stand-alone feature, or can make the difference to a professional book. A basic map can show the towns, villages, or cities important to your family's story, or show a significant migration, holiday, or family trip. Family trees provide key family and relational context - or can demonstrate your family link to a well-known historical figure.
