Innovative Dotcom Launches Line of Comprehensive Personalized Keepsake Albums

by SteveWednesday, February 25, 2004   

The idea for Jason and Tracy Kyte's business www.whenyouwereborn.com was conceived shortly after the birth of their daughter in 2001. As proud new parents, they wanted to record what was going on in the world the year she was born. But they couldn't easily find the information they were looking for.

"It occurred to us that a lot of other new parents probably want to do the same thing," Jason says, "but they're so busy that they just don't have time." So he spent 18 months working with two editors to meticulously research and present a detailed description of the world in a child's first year.

The result is an elegant custom printed album filled with comprehensive facts that stands above the competition in its quality and attention to detail. Each keepsake is bound between beautifully illustrated laminated covers; its contents are printed on high quality acid-free paper. Currently available from 1960 to the present, the child's name is printed throughout the book to give it a highly personalized touch.

The album is divided into three distinct sections. The first section is filled with hundreds of significant events that took place during a newborn's first year. These include historic world events, popular music, fashions, sporting events, and television programs, to name only a few of the categories.

A middle section includes a complete astrological natal chart and horoscope detailing the child's unique personality traits, sun sign characteristics and planetary influences.

The last section is dedicated to a numerological analysis, the ancient study of the symbolism of numbers. It presents information based on the child's birth date and elements in their name.

Both reports are printed using the same professional software that many of the most popular and trusted astrology and numerology websites use.

Each heirloom is delivered in a richly crafted presentation box that can also be used to hold other keepsakes such as hospital bracelets, locks of hair, photos, birth records, and other mementos.

The idea met with such a positive reaction from family, friends and customers that Jason and his wife decided to offer two other albums marking precious personal occasions -- when a couple first meet (www.whenwefirstmet.com) or when they marry (www.whenweweremarried.com).

Both albums offer the same information as described above, but instead of a natal analysis, the Astro-Numero sections contain a complete compatibility report of the couple. These albums make a perfect wedding shower or anniversary gift.

All three keepsakes can be purchased on a fully secured web site for US$69.95 each, including express shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Delivery is approximately 7-14 days anywhere in the U.S.

Angie Randall to Write Column for REAL Magazine

by SteveMonday, February 23, 2004   

The debut issue of REAL Magazine™ gets "real" with the celebrated scrapbooker, wife and mother of five. Randall's well-respected career as the editor of PaperKuts, expert scrapbooker and author of a soon to be released book - "Let's Scrapbook! A Beginner's Guide" - (Featuring "I can do that" page layouts, this book shares 280 fun, "doable" PaperKuts lay ideas you've come to expect and want to scrap lift, plus real stories and letters from scrapbookers) has culminated in the coveted column she will be writing in each issue of REAL Magazine.

"Angie is a great example of the kind of woman REAL Magazine is written for," says the magazine's publisher, Tony Golden, Publisher for Revue Media and former publisher of ePregnancy and Women's Health & Fitness magazines. "She's an amazing expert in the scrapbooking industry and is often invited to share her insights and observations about all aspects of scrapbooking - from new products and techniques to how a scrapbook can shape a child's self esteem. Simply put, we're glad to have her onboard to share her insights with our readers each and every issue."

Says REAL Magazine's associate publisher Sheri Wallace, "Angie is very real and down-to-earth and she wants to make an intimate difference with families memories around the world. As the interest in scrapbooking continues to grow exponentially, it's our desire to share the latest and greatest ideas with our readers and we feel Angie is just the ticket."

REAL Magazine goes beyond the limitations of many of today's women's magazines. "Too many of today's magazines take a superficial approach and don't explore the full depth and breadth of real women's daily lives-the challenges and triumphs, fears and hopes, goals and dreams," says Golden. "We give more in-depth, intimate and personalized perspectives and insights. We don't really think of REAL as a magazine--it's more of a guide to how women think, feel, work, play and live."

The REAL reader is a powerful force in the market and in the world today: she's a proven decision maker, influencer and upscale consumer. She's intelligent, independent and informed - and she'll look to REAL for new ideas, motivation, guidance and support to reach her goals and make the choices that are best for her and her family!
