Meet our team:

Our roots ... Because I know you´re dying to know!

Hi, I'm Cilenia. I started my journey as an avid heirloom vegetable and herb gardener focusing on medicinal herbs. As a very busy Mama of 5, I ran my husband’s small construction company from a home office and was determined (or obsessed) with filling 2 acres of farm land with herbs and perennials, and I vented my creative side in the gardens and quilting. I describe myself as: mother of five, grand-mother of seven, adult day care provider for contractors, storybook publisher, digital designer, teacher, friend, 80s rocker, herbalist, creative junkie, storyteller, leader of the pack.

Hi, I'm Christopher, Cilenia's brother. I started almost 20 years ago side-by-side with Cilenia drawing on the computer in an Engineering firm where we worked together. I decided to move on and pursue the other side of this technology and dove into the deep technical side of computers and programs. I began to help Cilenia and Weezer create web pages and they've been online since 1996. Their first mission was to encourage interest in gardening and healthy living, providing a common sense approach and basic information about gardening with links to events and organizations in five countries.

I'm now the IT man at the "DIGITAL DESIGNER SHOP". I also try to keep them on track and pointing forward, hopefully following the bends in the road, not taking the Y splits along the way! Thank goodness I have a lot of patience! I have been a true lover of photography since I was a small boy who would watch my grandfather in his basement dark room and took photography classes during my school years. One of my latest hobbies is astronomy and photographing the night sky and I was recently published in Astronomy Magazine online. Photography is my creative outlet, along with being a networking guru and webmaster. Cilenia and Weezer still find my work puzzling but are glad I am here to fit the pieces together.

We are three generations of creative people who love to share our passionate hobbies of photography and 'story-booking'. We have been working and playing together forever in one way or another. Whether it's been gardening, sewing, scrap booking, computer aided-design, web design, or running a joint business venture, we're doing it TOGETHER!

Hi, I'm Weezer and I enjoy being creative too. Always loved moving the furniture around or looking for new plants for my garden. I started my journey long ago when I took classes at the Cleveland Institute of Art while still in high school. After high school I went to college for a degree in the Arts for Interior design. As life would have it, I gave up that dream, got married and started a family, but still dabbled with a constant creative flare showing up in my home and gardens. It doesn’t much matter what medium I create in, the design principals are the same and I love to share what I have learned over the years.

Heritage and Treasures
Now we want to offer encouragement to our digi-scrap friends! Since we have been scrap-booking for several years now, we wanted to share and inspire others to ensure they create a Heritage Album to pass on to their children. We want to help you embrace the technology available today, and help you create lasting storybooks for your friends, family and future generations.

Our collections of knowledge in restoration and preservation, digital products, and publishing services combined with inspirational muses will be sure to spark your creativity and we will provide you with continuing support throughout the year (not just in fair weather).

You can dive into creating your own pages with digital paper and embellishments by using a software program like Photoshop Elements (PSE) or simply upload your photos to an independent publishing site, like at a 'CostCo Photo Center' and drop them into ready-made templates and add text to tell your story. It's all very easy, really, but we will hold your hand as you get your feet wet. You can sign up for a free basic accout here: Heritage Makers Account , upload your photos & publish a book!

We offer monthly specials, only available to our members. This means that if you order products directly from Heritage Makers, you won't get the reduced prices and the specials we can offer you! We think your stories are important, we want them to be told, and we're here to help!
