Played hookie from Alyssa's soccer game to hang out with my girl friend's and it was great!  Just a reminder, it's time to get those summer memories in a Memoir of Me book!

So pleased Memoir of Me is included as a Semifinalist for Minnesota Cup -- The competition for start-ups!  Our business plan was selected out of 1,000 entries as top 10 in category.  On to the next round!

Alyssa's father's day card to Eric. "You have sparkley brown eyes, a beautiful smile, soft brown hair and I love you just the way you are."  Tuck's father's day card was an internet picture of the BurgerMiester and said, "Dad, you will always be our very own Burg."

Memoir of Me -- Personalized Books is going go  be featured at the National Stationary Show in May in New York City!  Come see us in the big apple.  We are looking forward to connecting with the right people to reach that tipping point for Memoir of Me!  Love, Michelle

Ellen, you inspire me. Thank you for living out your passion. I'm still in the closet with my personalized book, but hope to come out soon! Love, Michelle

Here's a 1 minute video of my 92 year old friend Archie. He owned Lofberg -- a wood carving company that made gift items and plaques. He started out as a one man shop and ended up being one of the biggest employers on the iron range. He says "I still am into dreams" and helping small business, reaching out to me when he saw me in the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Archie talks about how he got a lot of help from people to grow his business and about his first connection with the right company that resulted in an order of 30,000 carved wood ducks. I think I'm getting closer to reaching that tipping point with Memoir of Me!

Jake weighed my book for me.  I have to have the book weight to get it on Amazon.  He said it was the first time he ever weighed a book on a meat scale.  I met his co-workers Irv and Glen, too.  They were the sweetest!  Even took my new bookmarks because Irv and Glen have grandkids!  Thanks Jake, Irv and Glen!

Here's some more feedback from 99 books in 33 days.  My heart breaks when I read how memoir of me books touched you and your special children's lives.  Thank you.

I got my Memoir of Me book today ... I love it! And I just know that this special little girl is going to love it too. I can't wait to give it to her and read it with her .... still trying to decide when I should do that, debating between saving it for her birthday or some other special day or just giving it to her right away as "just because" thing : )

From @jaredroy "Received my @memoirofme book yesterday. My daughter's eyes lit up & she smiled from ear to ear. What an amazing book."

My friend Carmen made a book for her neice.  Carmen's sister wrote this, "Hey we got the book you had made for Bella. It's so sweet. Of course I couldn't read the letter from you, I started crying. Nathan had to read it to Bella. Thank you!"

Here I am!  Wave and I'll pull over!  Eric says he'd rather drive in a rusty pinto.  But I'm certain I detected a hint of jealousy in his tone.  Excited to connect with more people to share their kids stories in our personalized children's books.  Love, Michelle
