The BIGGEST NotebookingPages.com Announcement Ever!

Dear NotebookingPages.com Subscribers, Members, & Free Users:

This year marks our 6th Anniversary at NotebookingPages.com. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long.
It’s even harder to believe that some of you have stuck with me for that long. :)
What a blessing it’s been to have such committed support from the homeschooling community.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

A lot has changed in these past six years and I thought it might be fun to post a flash from the past.

Yep, my very first homepage back in May 2006.

     

Can’t wait

 

to hear the news?

 

Scroll down

 

& click the

 

“Our Big News” tab!

I clearly remember the day the Lord put it on my heart to share my personal resources online. I had NO idea what I was doing LOL. Little did I know what this would become or where I would be six years later. I thought I was just putting some printables online — who knew what a ministry this would grow to be for both ME and so many other families. Many things have changed, not only for NotebookingPages.com, but in my personal life as well. Without getting into all of those details (check my blog instead), I just want to say again, THANK YOU all for being such a huge part of my life these past 6 years and for sharing the homeschooling journey together. And for those of you who are new, we are thrilled to have you here and pray you receive a blessing. Praise to God for being a Father who takes care of us in all ways great and small!

 

So, on to our BIG NEWS . . . that is why you’re here, right?!

 

A very fast recap of the past 6 years:
2006… We opened the site with our freebies & one product.
2006-2010…We continued to add more individual products & freebies.
2010…We began offering Notebooking Pages Treasury Memberships.
this week … We added The Notebooking Forum – WOW, hasn’t that been fun?!

[wptabtitle] OUR BIG NEWS[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent]

The Notebooking Publisher – from NotebookingPages.com

. . . an exclusive new web-app for Notebooking Pages Treasury Members & their children.

[/wptabcontent][wptabtitle]WHAT? [/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]

What is The Notebooking Publisher?

    The Notebooking Publisher is a web-based application designed to help you and your children create completely customized notebooking pages.

Featured Applications:
Add your own text, photos, & clipart PLUS pre-loaded embellishments to:
1) Customize & publish printable PDF notebooking pages from 100s of our pre-designed notebooking templates
2) Create & publish your own printable PDF notebooking pages from scratch.
3) Children now have the option to completely notebook their study on the computer — creating their own customized notebooking template and finishing the page with their typed narrations, notes, stories, chosen artwork, and embellishments.

[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]HOW? [/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]

How does The Notebooking Publisher work?

   

1) Choose a pre-designed template from The Notebooking Publisher collection -OR- start from scratch with a blank page.
2) Add text (titles, headings, typed narrations, notes, etc.)
3) Upload & add images from your computer (pictures, clipart, scanned artwork, etc.)
4) Add optional embellishing elements from The Notebooking Publisher collection (or from your own collection).
4) Save the finished template or page in printable PDF format and/or JPEG photo format.
5) Print the PDF or upload the JPEG to your favorite photo-sharing site to share with your friends and family around the world.

[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]WHY? [/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]

Why would we create The Notebooking Publisher?

   

Top Three Reasons:
#1 So older kids can TYPE their narrations, reports, and other written work.
#2 So kids can be part of the design & layout process.
#3 So there would be no limit to the artwork available — now you can add your own images instead of waiting for us to have a particular topic available.

OK, maybe just one more because it’s a biggie…
#4 There’s a learning curve involved in using the various desktop software packages out there, not to mention a hefty cost. The Notebooking Publisher is SUPER simple to use. AND, it will come preloaded with 100s of our templates.

So you can start from scratch, use one of our templates, or customize one of our templates.
You could choose to save your child’s pages as photo files to create an online "virtual" notebook or have his notebook printed by an online photoshop …

There are just SO many possibilities!

[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]WHERE & HOW MUCH? [/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]

Where will The Notebooking Publisher be & how much will it cost?

    As the saying goes, there is good news and then there is bad news.

I always like the bad news first …

The Notebooking Publisher will NOT be available as a single purchase, meaning you cannot come to NotebookingPages.com and JUST buy The Notebooking Publisher. I know this will be widely requested, but due to the nature of the application and how it works with our templates, this is just not a possibility at this time.


The GOOD news … and this is the REALLY GOOD news!

The Notebooking Publisher will be added to all active Treasury Memberships absolutely FREE!
An active Treasury Membership is one that is continually renewed each year & receiving updates — $74.95 the first year & $29.95 thereafter.

So, any paying (active)Treasury Member will have access to The Notebooking Publisher at NO additional cost.

This an update to beat ALL updates!!!

I wanted The Notebooking Publisher to be an ADDED value to your Treasury Membership. I know this will be a HUGE benefit to all who use it.

There are definitely costs involved in developing, hosting, updating, upgrading, etc. this app, but as long as you keep your membership active, we feel our out-of-pocket costs should stay well-balanced and we will not have need to raise your annual renewal fee.


To recap:
An active Treasury Membership gives you access to:
1) ALL of our products,
2) ALL of our updates & new products,
and now, 3) The Notebooking Publisher and all of its super cool features!

What a way to celebrate our birthday!!!

There are not enough "!’s" to express how excited we are to be bringing you…
The Notebooking Publisher.

[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]WHEN? [/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]

When will The Notebooking Publisher be available?

    The developers tell us that The Notebooking Publisher will be ready in early June, maybe even sooner!

So why are we blabbing about it now?
#1) Because May is our annual Sale-a-Bration month and you will get an awesome deal if you renew or buy your membership this month … starting Monday, May 8th!
#2) We would love to have as many of our customers trying this app out throughout the summer so we can make adjustments and tweaks based on your input before your school year starts back up in August.
#3) During our Sale-a-Bration, we will give all new & renewing members an extra 3 months of membership time to cover the summer months… so your annual renewal payment of $29.95 won’t be due until August 2013.

[/wptabcontent][/wptabs]

 

Don’t forget:

NotebookingPages.com 6th Birthday Sale-a-Bration starts Monday, May 7th!

Comments

  1. Laughingmommy says:

    Wow, it sounds so great!

  2. MarcyCrabtree says:

    this is fabulous. that is all.

  3. Stacie Griggs says:

    Love it!

    Thank you for all your hard work!

    Using the notebooking pages began as, “you only have to write this much.”

    And as with anything, the more we wrote “just one page,” the easier writing became. And now I am hearing, “I need the bigger page.”
    (patiently waiting for “I need a second/third…”)

    We are asked to do all things with excellence and without complaining or disputing.

    Notebooking pages has helped our family! Thank you!

  4. Theresa says:

    Yes! I can’t wait! Thank you so much!

  5. KellyP says:

    This is included in our treasury membership?? I feel like its MY birthday!!!!! Wow!!!! My daughter is going to love this I think. She enjoys typing her work, so to be able to easily add graphics and use use the already beautiful pages you created will be fantastic. Thanks Debra!

  6. Allison says:

    What if we purchase a treasury membership now? Will it be included? Sorry it may be a dumb question, but its early and in typically mommy fashion, I’ve had about 3 hours of sleep! Luckily I see I’m not the only mom by looking at the previous posts!

    Thanks!

    Allison

    • NotebookingPages.com says:

      It will be released in June (maybe sooner) and will automatically become part of any membership that is “active”. So, yes, if you buy in May, it will definitely be part of your first year’s membership. :) If you buy during our sale, you’ll actually get 15 months active membership.

  7. mrssippi says:

    This sounds SO great…being a scrapbooker and graphic designer, this really taps in to MY learning preference! LOL Hopefully it will be the kids’ passion too. For about 2 weeks now I have been tirelessly researching notebooking and preparing for starting it over the summer. Now, there’s no excuse! Thank you.

  8. EEEEEEEEE!!!! So excited about this!!!! :) :)

  9. One thing that has changed in the past ten years is that you look ten years YOUNGER!!! Could that ability be included in the Treasury Membership, please?? ;)

  10. I have one child and hope to use more Notebooking…We had our evaluation and are officially 6th graders…Thanks for your ministry.

  11. Jill J says:

    This IS a wonderful addition! So many possibilities now! Very generous to include it in the treasury membership! My children are going to enjoy this, I know! The only trouble is that they are going to enjoy it so much that I’m sure they will slow down their study pace to get the page *just* right! :-)

    Thank you! Great idea! Looking forward to it!

  12. LindseyHoy says:

    We have just started notebooking. My 13 yo son is not convinced that it is such a great thing but we are persevering. I may consider purchasing a membership if I don’t win one (that would be so cool). I think he would enjoy typing and designing his pages.

  13. Ruthies1019 says:

    Wow. Really? I’ve never bought a membership before but now I can’t pass it up. This is awesome. I will be saving my money. Thank you so much for adding such a valuable resource to the homeschooling community.

  14. Angelique Johnson says:

    This sounds great Debra. I have been creating my own pages for 2 years now. I was considering upgrading the program I currently use, but I think your new program will give me more options. Can’t wait for Monday’s email to see the special deal.

  15. Danielle Hull says:

    Not sure if I’m more excited for you or me! Congratulations!!! Happy Birthday!

  16. SQUEEE!!!!! I am SO EXCITED!!! <3 <3 <3

  17. julia w says:

    This is an answer to a prayer! I am so excited and I know the kids will be!

  18. Great possiblities!!! this is awesome!!!!

  19. BethanyRoss says:

    I spent about three hours earlier this week looking for a program or app that would do just what you described, and couldn’t find anything interesting. So, did you say that yearly memberships are on sale in May? When? This is what I need to buy.

  20. AndiPriest says:

    LOVE THIS!!!

  21. DianaMalament says:

    I’m really excited about your new options! Now I need to find that money so that I can renew in May…

  22. Gina Jolley says:

    This sounds so cool! We will have to give it a try!

  23. Pamela says:

    Thank you Debra! I am so excited about this new option and look forward to utilizing it soon!! Happy Birthday!

  24. BrendaKeefer says:

    This is GREAT! Thank You for making it easy and affordable!!

  25. This is very exciting! We are starting My Fathers World this month and working through the summer. I can’t wait for the sale-a-bration! I have been trying to put money a side for this and now not only is it going to be on sale but you’ve added a new concept to it. This is awesome. I can’t wait!

    Thanks so much for all you do!
    Tanya

  26. Wow this is just what I need for Squashy, his handwriting is appalling, we’ve just discovered it also hurts him to write for very long because he has hyper-mobile fingers (how come I didn’t notice sometime in the last 10 years?) Working on the computer and being involved in the design element is right up his street, thank you so much.

  27. jamescooper says:

    woohooo!

  28. Awesome! My eldest daughter will love this! Thanks for all you do. We love your site and all the pages!

  29. GraceIbay says:

    this is awesome! but does this mean you won’t be publishing notebooking pages on the website anymore?

  30. Wheeee! Thank you for this site. Your work is so extensive and excellent and now you take it up a notch! Bless you!

  31. Wow! What a great idea! I can see this will be such a great resource!!

  32. NancyFunk says:

    Wow!!! Oh, WOW!! I’ve been working on a history notebook for daughter for next year and it’s been long slog! So glad that this is here, it will help me tremendously. THANK_YOU SO MUCH! :D

  33. Loving this! Thank you so much! And what a gift to have it included in the treasury membership! You are a blessing!

  34. AWESOME!!!!

  35. Deborah says:

    What a wonderful idea! I can’t wait to renew our membership and see what the site will be like. I love the notebooking pages and the ease of using them. This is really exciting news! WTG!!!!!

  36. I’ve been waiting every so patiently for a sale, and now I’m glad I did!

  37. Kari J. says:

    Wow! Now that’s amazing news. I look forward to trying this new feature out. What fun to finally, after such a long wait, see something you worked hard to put together, come to fruition. Well done, Debra.

  38. Lisa Chris says:

    Wow!!! This is so exciting! I’m so glad you thought of such a wonderful way to take our notebooking to a whole new level!! Thanks so much!

  39. Georgiadaffodil says:

    My friend and I would like to take advantage of the 2- for-2 sale. Will the publisher be included with our memberships? And, if so, when do we have to buy to be sure we get the publisher. And since the second year is free, will the publisher be included in that as well?

    • NotebookingPages.com says:

      Awesome question! Yes, the publisher will be included in your memberships (when it comes available in June). Once it becomes available, it will be added to all memberships that are “active” (meaning renewals are up to date). Make sense? And yes to your second question too – you will have it for the second year as well. :)

  40. Heather says:

    Yay! This sounds awesome! Thank you for including it in our memberships!!! For me, the best reason of all was the typed versions. My son has Asperger’s and ADHD and he HATES anything to do with writing. He prefers the notebooking and lapbooking pages to plain white notebook pages, but hates to write period. One of his doctors has suggested that he be allowed to type as much as possible, but that never really worked with either notebooking or lapbooking. So there have been battles. This is going to help SO much – thank you, Debra, for thinking of it and producing it. Now my son can type while my daughter writes and we can all do things together!!!

  41. Lisa Chris says:

    Ok, so now I just explained to my son (a 12 year old reluctant notebooker!) the exciting news and his immediate response was, “That is so awesome!!! That is going to be so great!!” Thank you!

  42. Lori TenHaken says:

    Wow! Truly spectacular! You are an amazing creative mother.

  43. Someone mentioned the 2-for-2 sale. I can’t find it mentioned–can you explain more about it?

    So excited about Publisher! Thanks for all you do, and congrats on 6 years!

    • NotebookingPages.com says:

      Yes Nancy,

      Find a friend, fellow teacher, co-op mom, and give each other (& your kids) an awesome gift for the next 2 school years!

  44. Karen Schultz says:

    I am so excited about this new feature announcement to Notebooking.com!!!

  45. So excited for you Debra. I know what it’s like to finally bring to fruition those long dreamed of and worked on plans – kind of like giving birth. :-)

    This looks like it will be a SUPER fun and useful resource.

    Blessings.
    Lisa @ Me & My House

  46. LisaWassmer says:

    When we just used lots of the notebooking pages for our Science Fair projects, I was thinking, boy wouldn’t it be nice if we could just type the narrations right on the pages? (We cut and pasted). Like another mom said…”I feel like it’s my birthday!” This will also be a good incentive for my kids to work on their typing skills!

  47. JenniferRea says:

    Sooo cool!! I am very excited about this product!! I am already thinking how many possibilities this will unlock for us. Thank You Debra!!!

  48. Sharon says:

    Sounds awesome!! Can’t wait to try it out – thank you!

  49. I have been tossing around the idea of getting a subscription over the last few weeks. I am childfree this weekend and decided to join today. I open my email and here is your great news! I guess I will wait until Monday then and get the 15month subscription and be entitled to the publisher. My son, like someone above hates writing and types all his work up and we put them into a Notebooking type format. We have just completed an ANZC Day page and excerpt for his book of centuries and then discovered your wonderful Memorial Day pages. Boy we could have done with those last week, modified them slightly (we had all the necessary artwork etc) and saved ourselves a whole bunch of time and effort. With your new program we could have done exactly that. Thank you in anticipation – we are both excited and can’t wait to start!

  50. This IS big news! I so appreciate your Notebooking Treasury Membership – what a timesaver, and the pages are beautiful. My son, like Stacie said, started out just trying to fill up the spaces. Then I would print several sheets and give him a choice. Now he looks forward to seeing what variety there are first — they lead to all kinds of great thinking, just the way they’re laid out.

    How wonderful it will be to create customized sheets to complement these! Thank you for your wonderful ministry!

    Be blessed!

  51. StaceyBeshore says:

    I’ll be the technological idiot and say, “I don’t even know what that MEANS!”
    …but I love the new Forum!!

  52. FinnellaFlanagan says:

    I am extra excited that my husband bought me a subscription! I’d been trying to do some things in GIMP, which is a free software package that does PhotoShop things. But it never could solve the part for my son to type text in. It wasn’t designed to do that.

    This is terrific; I think it will really help us to incorporate notebooking for the rest of middle school and into high school.

  53. BethanyRoss says:

    I am trying to understand exactly what I will be able to do on the notebook publisher, so please forgive my technical question. I use your blank notebooking pages to format my own “templates”. I used a program called Comic Life in landscape orientation and copy from my pdf’s – 2 portraits sideways on one page. I can then insert text boxes onto my new pages as well as import jpg’s. Although it is incredibly time consuming, the results are visually pleasing and exactly what I want. With the Notebook Publisher’s ability to create templates and blank pages, will I be able to do a similar thing with much more ease? Specifically, will I be able to choose two different portrait oriented templates – say one history event page and a continental map page – and put them on one landscape orientation blank page at 1/2 the original size? And then add headers and little extra’s? Or a quote page at 1/4 size with an image next to it with a timeline running along the bottom of the page? I hope that you can “see” what I am asking.

  54. ShaniRoberts says:

    Sounds fabulous, my son will love this. He hates writing but will happily type away. This is exactly what we needed. I’m very excited. Thank you very much.

  55. Ok so I have been wanting to buy PS Elements to make notebooking scrapbook type layouts and here you come with your new awesomeness and get me all flustered. So now I don’t know which to get. Will we get to see some sample pages of this cool new tool?

  56. Jazmin says:

    How great is this…. We can’t wait! And a VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

  57. Jody R says:

    I have enjoyed collecting the freebies, but am not a treasury member [yet]. Thank you for your dedication. The Lord has gifted you with creativity. ;0)
    This is the first year we will actively (and regularly) be using this style. Note-booking is such a treasury keepsake of each child.

    Jody

  58. LeanneBurgess says:

    This is fantastic! I am very excited about it and I know my children will be also. Thank you for the hard work you have already put into your pages – it does not go un noticed by us!
    God bless.
    Leanne

  59. MaryBrodeur says:

    I can’t wait for this! We are treasury members and our oldest son who is 8 is autistic, so writing is quite the task for him. He will enjoy notebooking so much more now that he’ll be able to type his narrations. Thanks so much for developing this!

  60. Wow! very excited about it! What a great resource for HS families.

  61. sheilajoyce says:

    I love my Treasury Membership. I just started using it today. I am looking forward to the Notebooking publisher starting up soon.

  62. Any news yet on the publisher? We’re so excited we can hardly contain ourselves. We start our new school year on July 16th!

  63. Kelli Adventurez says:

    exciting! I just started writing for the Homeschool Mosaics – I’m the new “Exploring Science – Naturally” (aka Homeschool Science mom) and I want you to know I’ll be plugging your notebooking pages – very excited about the new features – It’s just what we needed! I always promote you on Adventurez in ChildRearing .com as well – thank you for all your hard work!

Speak Your Mind

*

The Treasury Program is such a blessing to our homeschool. I know that no matter what rabbit trail our studies lead us down, I can find the perfect notebooking page to enrich our learning. Just click and print! It's that easy! :O)
