Memory-collection company plays part in ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’

Local independent sales consultant Sue Donskey announced that the company she represents, Creative Memories, had a hand in making the new home featured in a recent airing of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” a dream come true for Ju-Juanna Latif, a single mother of four living in Wilmington, Del.

Creative Memories donated $10,000 worth of its scrapbooking and memory-celebration products so that Latif could keep a visual record of the family’s transition from its old house to its new home. Products included Creative Memories’ premier photo-safe albums and accessories, tools for creating traditional and digital memory books, photo organizers and home decor items such as wall displays and frames.

Donskey said it was an honor for Creative Memories to play a role in such a popular and meaningful show.

“We were thrilled to be selected by ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’ and to learn that our albums and frames were being used by the Latif family to celebrate and treasure this amazing moment in their lives,” said Donskey, a Rockland resident.

Company co-founder Rhonda Anderson said Creative Memories and “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” share a passion for storytelling.

“The show chronicles the story of a deserving family whose life is transformed by their move into a new home,” Anderson. “At Creative Memories, we’re dedicated to helping people tell their stories by developing products they can use to preserve and showcase memorable events.”

Added Donskey: “It’s wonderful to know that the same Creative Memories products I use with my customers here in the Coulee Region are being used by the Latif family to celebrate this exciting time. I can only imagine all of the beautiful memories they will keep forever.”

Based in St. Cloud, Minn., Creative Memories markets its products at in-home get-togethers through more than 60,000 independent sales consultants in nine countries around the world. More information about Creative Memories can be found at creativememories.com.
