January 2015 Heartbeat Magazine Cover and Giveaway

This last month the cover photo was provided by Artistic Puppy Creative photography.  I found the photo from Facebook, my high school friend, Molly Blakeley-Poland's daughters were so beautiful and it made for the perfect cover.

I truly am so happy Facebook was created!  It's provided me with the opportunity to see and connect with so many friends and family that I would never have a chance to otherwise.   My heart was captured by the above photo, so I asked if Molly would be interested in letting me use her daughters, Emerald and Anni Poland, for my cover girls.  The photograph was taken by Artistic Puppy, a Soldotna Alaska photography company.  They specialize in Couples Portraits, websites, and marketing for small businesses. 

Emerald and Anni Poland are musicians, among many other talents, and recently they auditioned for America's Got Talent. So exciting!  They also have a band named 

5 Sided Di. You can find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/5-Sided-Di/

1453772291569841  Their latest post said that they are booked this summer every Sunday at Anchorage Hard Rock Cafe!  Congrats to them!

Heartbeat Magazine Cover for November 2014 Edition and Giveaway

It's always fun to share the cover of the Heartbeat Connection Magazine as each month is a new journey in figuring out who or what will make the cover.  This last month I was browsing Facebook and found a beautiful photo of one of my friends daughters.  She was dressed in a Snow White costume for an upcoming play and looked surreal.  I quickly sent a message to my friend asking if she would like to let me feature her daughter and was pleased to share her with the world.  Read more about the cover in the magazine.

I am now hearing Christmas music on the radio, the lights are going up around my community, and I've seen a few Christmas trees in windows.  Do you decorate early and listen to holiday songs or wait till December?  I like to wait until just after Thanksgiving and then I jump into the holiday spirit.  

It's hard to believe it will be half way through the school year soon.  This month we finished a fun science project with Jake---check out the story on page 6.  Nathan started High School basketball and we'll soon find out if Jake will be in middle school basketball.  I attended the GirlTalkTV trunk show event and met so many nice people, bought my daughter some cute earrings and a bracelet and myself a great egg platter from The Clay Place.

An upcoming event, Dec. 4th, that I'm looking forward to attending is the Blue Mangrove Gallery's 8th Anniversary.  They will be hosting famous black & white photographer Clyde Butcher and he'll be signing autographs.

Enjoy our giveaway from www.SEMYART.com. They will be giving away a Christmas Santa treasure!  Enter on our giveaway page for your chance to win.

Using Issuu to launch the Heartbeat Magazine

I did some research and found an interesting website called www.issuu.com They offer the ability to upload your magazine that you create and provide links to your readers to view it on their computers or download it and read it at leisure.  I really enjoy the platform and so have completed four issues of my Heartbeat Magazine so far. 

This Month will be our 5th Issue and we are excited to celebrate in style.  You can view the publication on issuu by clicking on the link... http://issuu.com/nicoleflothe/docs/heartbeatconnection

Enjoy Reading!
