CUSTOMER
FEEDBACK
Here's what a few of our customers
have to say about the My Story Lifebook Photobook template:
"I
found the lifebook template to be just what I needed to kickstart the
lifebook I have been planning for years. Easy to use for a non-scrapper
like me, and with enough general adoption material to make it even
easier." Pamela S., NJ
"I wanted to let you know that I finished the Life Book for my
daughter and
I have ordered it. I can't wait to get it in the mail and give it to
her! Thank you so much for creating the template. I really appreciate
it. If you had not done that and made it available to me I don't know
how long it would have taken me to make one."
Suzanne W., FL
"I love the LifeBook and my daughter calls it "her book". The template
was comprehensive and easy. If I waited until I had the time to do
this on my own, my daughter would be 18!! I wanted to start telling
her her story so that I'm comfortable with the words, "birth
parent", "one child policy" and "adoption". I've recommended the
template to other friends and will do so in the future. I've very
happy with the end result."
Sharon L., FL
"I actually worked on the lifebook a few weekends ago at a
scrapbooking event. I LOVED it! It was so nice to have the template available
and the words that are often so hard to find when explaining our daughter's
beginnings!" Melissa D., MA
