Kind Words

The wedding was very nice and everyone loved the gift.  I will definately keep you in mind if I need a gift for another special occasion.

I will definately call you with my next special gift needs.  fia ghen

The shower went so well and wanted you to know that when Kristin opened the present that you created everyone loved it. They truly thought that it was made by the same company that made her dinnerware until she turned it around and read the message – then they knew that it was created by a very talented artist!!

It was a huge hit and everyone loved it!  Thank you for doing such an awesome job and just knowing what to do made it easy for me. The neat thing about your work is that it is custom created and you do everything you can to make it perfect!!!

Thank you again ~ Gerri


Love it, love it, love it!  Perfect!  Thanks so much!  Can’t wait to give it to them!

Here's a picture of our new kitchen. I hung my Safran Family print here since it's the room I spend the most time in. :) What a wonderful gift that I will treasure always!
