-Jill Abbott, sister & host

"I wanted to say thank you for such an awesome idea. We just had my sister in law’s shower and the baby shower book was a HIT!!! It turned out incredible. It was awesome to have this book as a testimony of how much we love her and “the perfect baby to come." I had family members that weren't going to make it to the shower and even my brother and her brothers sent in a couple of notes. And it just turned out GREAT! Your idea just made our shower so much more special!!!

I just wanted to take time out to say thank you for such a great gift idea. It really is so much more meaningful than just a normal guest book. There were many tears too!

And I will be an avid customer for a long time!!! Thanks again."

-Jenny Leier, host & sister-in-law

When I took all the gifts home that night, I rummaged through them and came across the most special one... your book! It brought tears to my eyes. No amount of money or gifts can replace that book. So much effort and love was put into creating the beautiful messages which graced the pages. I was touched and will cherish it forever! ... Most of all, thank you for being such a loyal, caring friend."

-Niki, recipient in a thank you letter to the host, Serena

“As I was planning a baby shower for a co-worker, Rachel, I wondered what I could do to make the event even more special, since she would not be returning to work once the baby was born. I stumbled upon a baby keepsake book, and as we created the book in Rachel’s honor, we couldn't’t wait to see the end product! When Rachel opened the book at the shower, we all crowded around her as she read what we all wrote about her. We were all in tears! I highly recommend this keepsake book for anyone that you want to pay tribute to!”

-Darlene Davis-Conte, host

Grandparent Keepsake Book

“My cousins and I put together a Grandparents Keepsake Book for our grandmother’s 80th  birthday.  I received a very special Thank You note from my gram for the gift today. I just wanted to forward on some of her thoughts.

“… This is just about the most thoughtful gift I could have ever received! I have read it over and over again.”

-Brooke Watkins, creator

 

"It is so nice to have received this book from my kids and their kids. At a time when I am losing friends left and right, it is wonderful to feel the support of my family. Getting older is no fun and it seems like everyone is too busy to stop and smell the roses or spend lots of time with me - and it gets lonely! But, now, on days I feel like that, I look at this book and feel much better."

-Rose Williams, recipient

They talked a lot while they wrote out the response cards.  And Britney (the bride) still pulls that book out every time I go over there!”

Love Keepsake Book

I had to send this to you to let you know how highly I think of your products. I submitted a story to my local newspaper in response to a contest they were having on the best Valentine memories.  I was 1 of the 5 winners!  The story I submitted was about how I created one of your keepsake books last year for my husband on Valentine’s Day.  Well, needless to say, he LOVED it!  Thanks for the great product and making me a “local star!”

-Sarah Keegan, creator

 

“I am a very typical man! I have always had a hard time finding gifts for my wife. I have tried to be creative and personal with gifts for her in the past and it has never turned out well. But, with this being our 30th year of marriage I thought I might try the  creative and personal approach again. I came across your site while researching how to write a love letter.  When I read the description of your love book, I knew I had found exactly what I had been looking for. Sure enough, I was able to give my lovely wife something that far surpassed both of our expectations on a creative and personal gift.”

-Harry Fields, creator

 

“I must confess that completing your Love Keepsake was a precious gift to myself that I never knew I had wanted! Thank you for providing such a foolproof kit so even an old man could make this special gift!

Heritage Cook Book

“Your BEAUTIFUL cook book was a huge success at my family reunion last August. It really worked well as a conversation starter! It’s truly priceless when something as simple as Grandma’s Chicken and Dumplings recipe evokes old memories and stories from your childhood emerge.

I received the duplicate books I orders for the other family members. They are beautiful! Thank you for all of your help!” 

-S. Scheindler

Birthday Keepsake Book

"The personal aspect of this keepsake book is what drew me in. My good friend since seventh grade was turning 30! Couldn't be a better way to celebrate her milestone birthday!  I wanted to make sure she knew all the people’s lives she had touched!  Using the kit was really simple. The material enclosed in the kit was clear and helpful. I got a lot of ideas from the website too!"

-Lisa McNeely, host

 

Memorial Guest Book

"It looks great! Thank you!"
-Carol

"I wanted a nice guest book for my brother-in-law's funeral. I ordered the book, a few expansion packs and a personalization plate. (It looked great!) There was a huge turnout so I was so glad to have purchased a few expansion packs. I was initially a little concerned about the logistics but it turned out even better than a regular guest book because there was no line! We left the message cards on the memory table with all of his photographs like you suggested.

It was great because everyone wrote such nice messages about Steve and it helped bring a smile to my sister's face. (That smile alone was worth it!) For a man taken so young, this book proves he had such a great life with many wonderful memories and even more good friends."

-Mary O'Connell

"Just wanted you to know that I received the extra pages and that I appreciate the way you responded to my request- I think the book will look great- thanks again." 

-Debbie Wiedecker

"We did not like the guest book options at the funeral home. When we stumbled upon your site, we were relieved to find a beautiful, high quality guest book for our mother's funeral. She was sophisticated so why would her guest book be anything less? Thank you."

-Robert Moran
