"Up Close"

A Your-Life-Your-Story.com Recommendation

Lissa Ann Forbes makes beautiful custom journals. She also creates legacy books, writes an engaging newsletter and gives talks and leads workshops on telling your personal history.

I met Lissa at the Association of Personal Historians annual conference in Denver, Colorado in November of 2003. We sat at the same table during one of the workshops and shared some thoughts on writing. Lissa had also made laminated bookmarks for each of the conference attendees (something she specializes in) and I still have and use mine.

Since then I've stayed in touch with her by email and I regularly read her e-zine, Write from the Inside. She offers insightful tips and a different writing theme in each issue. It's obvious she has a passion for writing and for encouraging others to do the same.

Tribute Books, Journals and Laminated Bookmarks

Lissa Forbes does all the production on the custom journals she specializes in. This involves the layout and design, folding and cutting pages, printing and laminating the covers, and binding the books. You can supply a photo or image for the cover and request the journal in either lined or blank pages.

When you visit her site be sure to check out the Tribute books and also the laminated bookmarks she offers. They are very nice and affordable.

Working Gal, Mom, Small Business Owner, Photographer and Bookbinder

Growing up as a military dependent, Lissa has lived in many places. This gives her a broad appreciation for culture and lifestyles and that helps her in working with clients who want to preserve their stories with one of the customized products she offers.

She is also an accomplished speaker and workshop leader and you can inquire about booking her for an engagement. Be sure to also check out some of her photographs.
