Celebrity Mom Nancy O’Dell and Creative Memories ‘Full of Love’ Book Now Available

Oct. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- ST. CLOUD, Minn. – October 2010 –Award-winning entertainment journalist and TV host Nancy O’Dell will join Creative Memories, a leader in the scrapbooking industry, in launching a new book, “Full of Love”.  Nancy O’Dell and Creative Memories also launched a new line of products aimed at making scrapbooking quicker, easier and more fun for busy moms.  

Following the birth of her first child, O’Dell chronicled the experience in “Full of Life:  Mom-to-Mom Tips I Wish Someone Told Me When I Was Pregnant,” a warm and humorous book that explored the realities of pregnancy and new motherhood. Now Nancy looks at another aspect of parenting that’s especially close to her heart in her second book, “Full of Love”.
Written in conjunction with Creative Memories, “Full of Love” explores the power of the family photo album to create confident, secure, happy kids.

O’Dell is distinctly qualified to talk about the value of family scrapbooking, which she learned from her mother and grandmother.  It’s a skill she has pursued throughout her life and continues to share with her own children today.

Illustrated with sample album pages and filled with how-to tips, “Full of Love” draws on Nancy’s own experiences, the advice of renowned child psychologist Dr. Kenneth Condrell and the expertise of acclaimed photographer Ulrica Wihlborg.

“Full of Love” is available on Oct. 15, 2010 and can be purchased at http://www.creativememories.com/MainMenu/Shop/Nancy-ODell...
