Maria Jordan (marcoujor) During the long, cold and dreary months of winter, members of the Legacy Archives Foundation have been stoking the fires of imagination and creativity on a budget.
It truly is amazing at what a dedicated group can accomplish with generosity of time and individual talents.
Stories for MMB3 are already arriving, which is exciting for us, and some other projects are sprouting up along the path that more and more folks are joining us in the effort to build, and mixing in some fun with the effort.
Here are a few items of interest to bring you up to date with what's going on, far and wide, with the Legacy Scribes and Contributors.

A friendly challenge initiated by Legacy Scribe, Vicki Warner of Life Talks - I Write ...
Vicki Warner, Legacy Scribe Per Vicki, "When I think about bachelors, it brings thoughts of how many unwilling ones I have known in my bereavement group. One of the hardest things they deal with is cooking for one, especially if it is something they have never had to do before."
So, she decided to collect recipes, her own and others, and post them on her website, Life Talks - I Write.
True to form, she's also decided to donate a special prize to the top ten recipes (decided per number of the most Facebook likes) which is downloadable Mysterious & Miraculous ebook, your choice of MMB1 or MMB2.

After that, the hope is for recipes to be collated into an appropriately titled book for wounded veterans.
This is a great way to publicize your writing and/or your website.
Just as was decided for the M&M books, 70% of the sales' proceeds will go to K9s For Warriors Program/Rescue. This is a fantastic organization for both folks and k9s, and 95% of the k9s in this program are rescued from animal shelters.
Your recipes will be published as they come in.
Judging for prizes will be number of likes on Facebook.

Some points about the contest:
1. The recipe should be easy and not require a whole lot of equipment, cooking skills or fancy ingredients.
2. Please submit a photo (properly attributed) of at least the finished dish to Vicki. The picture should be in focus, but no need for editing. We'll take care of that for you.
3. Please try to email your recipe in an attachment of Microsoft Word, and attach a photo as well. However, if you're not familiar with Word, simply typing it out into email will work, and don't forget to include the photo(s). You can email these to Vicki via vickijwarner@gmail.com.
4. Have fun with this! Share the word with all of your friends as well...
5. If you are a Legacy Scribe, send Vicki your recipes anyway, like I did with Bonnie's Blueberry Fluff and Shauna did with her best Philly Cheese Steaks.
Although Legacy Scribes are not eligible for a prize, sharing our signature recipes is another way to support our veterans as well as introduce your own work and website to potential new fans and clients.

Speaking of cooking, I have a creative idea brewing!
Having loved the hobby of scrapbooking for years, making creative greeting cards was a natural leap for me.
As technological as we all have become, I am old fashioned when it comes to correspondence. I love to get a personal hand written greeting card in the mail. Through the years, I have found that most of my family and friends feel the same way.
So, I 'm happy to announce that I am developing a greeting card line of my own.
I sought the support and technical assistance of fellow Legacy Scribe, Michael Friedman of Mockingbird Books.
These creative cards can be viewed on my website, marcoujor's musings and I am proud to share the talented illustrations of Mr. Friedman far and wide! We are also in the process of ordering supplies to make signature greeting cards for the Legacy Archives Foundation.
As the holidays draw closer, the M & M Kindle books make for meaningful gifts, so why not include a handwritten note with your gift on one of the LAF cards? Or you may even wish to use as your holiday card in support of Veterans.
Yes, I will also be donating my profits from these sales to K9s for Wounded Warriors Program/Rescue and the Support Homeless Veterans Org.
Please contact me directly if you have any questions at marcoujor@gmail.com

Book Sales and Proceed Send Offs ...
Since publishing Mysterious & Miraculous Book I in the Fall, 2013 and Mysterious & Miraculous Book II for Holiday, 2013, we are proud to have sold a total of 78 Kindle books on Amazon to date!
MMB1 - 45 books (K9s for Warriors) / MMB2 - 33 books (Supporting Homeless Veterans).
The 70% due to our designated organizations amounts to $197.94
Thanks to the generosity of fellow Scribes such as Gail Sobotkin (Happyboomernurse) and Shauna Bowling (Bravewarrior's Feathered Pen), we were able to match this amount so that each of these two worthwhile organizations received an initial contribution of $ 150.00!
And hopefully, just like Karen Carpenter sang out out, We've only just begun...!!
Thanks to each of you for your part in the success of our endeavors with MMB1 & MMB2.
It's not too early to send us your stories or thoughts for MMB3. We both appreciate and enjoy your participation as well as having new Legacy Scribes and Contributors added to our ranks.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Happy, peaceful spring to all!
Hugs,
