Cherish Bound Review and Story Starter & $29 In Publishing Giveaway!

I was very excited when asked to write about Cherish Bound products and host a contest for them! I have a friend that has published a couple of her stories through them, and they are just gorgeous! (Click Here to jump down to the giveaway rules.)

If you are like me and used to scrapbook but were so slow that it took months to get just a few pages done, or perhaps you just don't have the time anymore and so all your supplies are tucked away in a closet and it seems too much trouble to pull them all out, or maybe you just download all your photos to your computer and then there they sit... where no one, but yourself, will ever see them, you will love the products Cherish Bound has to offer!

Cherish Bound is so much more than a photo book! You can create books to find, capture and share the stories of your life... As a blogger, I have endless stories and I've found a place to publish them, and save them forever, in the physical form, that my friends and family can actually look through when they visit.

You can do so much with Cherish Bound...create books, enjoy amazing products to help you organize your stories and even an opportunity so you can make money from home.

I met Tara Brown from Cherish Bound and she tells me that they are vamping up for some big things this summer and are looking for fun people to join the Cherish Bound family. You can be a part of the movement they're creating with some great specials and deals going on right now. You won't want to miss out! And who couldn't use a little extra money these days - especially doing something we already all love!

With Cherish Bound you can...
  • Capture your Story. Using their online publishing tool, you will upload your story text, photos, and scanned images into a book template of your choice. With their ever-growing selection of colors, borders, and fonts, finding the right format for your story is easy. The tool is web-based so you don’t have any software to download or update – all of that is done for you!
  • Submit your Story. With your book completed you are ready to submit your project to Cherish Bound online. All you do is press the submit button and they take it from there. Your book will be printed and bound using cutting-edge, archival processes and materials. You can order as many copies as you like, whenever you want. Your finished book is digitally stored in their archives indefinitely.
  • Share your Story. Your completed book will arrive by carrier in approximately 15 business days from date of submission so that you can begin the tradition of sharing story in your family.
  • Teach others about Story. Cherish Bound is growing. Kind of an "odd" thing to hear given the circumstances of our economy and how this little world of ours is turning. Tara said, "It doesn't surprise me. Many people are finding comfort and joy in our products, the stories that are being shared between family members and friendships that are being created between consultants and customers. It's a beautiful thing..."
Many people you and I know are struggling, or maybe it's you and your own family. Many families just need an extra few hundred dollars a month in order to survive and others need a bit more. Cherish Bound is here to help those families survive this wave and find some comfort.

Tara continued by saying, "There are millions of reasons why we're bracing ourselves for this amazing opportunity and we want to extend the invite to all who would like to join in on this dream! If you or someone you know could use a little extra cash, friendships and an opportunity of lifetime...you have found it."

Enter To Win!
