I happen to stumble upon MyCustomStory while searching for award winning board books. Well, if they had an award for this creative gem, Mary Ellen would surely get it. I have so far created three different themes and each time, Mary Ellen has efficiently and patiently worked with me to develop beautiful books. I have been giving them to my granddaughter, the other grandparents, great-grandmas, but not keeping any for me. Well, I finally decided I deserve to keep one for myself so with my next order, I'm keeping one! Takes a bit of work to create your own but it's worth it, especially when Mary Ellen is so willing to work with you. Thank you, thank you!
Keep up your wonderful work.

WOW! I just got our books today and they are so beautiful! I LOVE LOVE them. My son was thrilled to see pictures of himself in the book and a picture of me as well. I cannot wait to order more. Thank you for your hard work and patience.

Just a note to tell you about the baby book I ordered. The baby's parents were in awe....... They showed the book to anyone and everyone.......... Took it back to New York and did the same! It was absolutely the best gift of the day and a wonderful keepsake!

Working with Mary Ellen on my book was such a pleasure. She was more than attentive to my needs and responded back before I could blink twice. The book came out beautifully and I would recommend others to capture personal stories and pictures with My Custom Story Books.

I got the books on Saturday--Wow! Thanks. I really like them. I took one to school today and showed it to several teachers who are expecting or have small children. … My grandson loves the book and takes it places with him. He names the people in the pictures and it helps him remember us since we live far away and he doesn't see us very often. He is 22 months old. Keep up the good work!

I just received Mia's custom book yesterday and it is GREAT! You did a fantastic job and I am so excited to give it to her this Sunday! Even though she is just over 3 months old it is something that she will have forever. Your idea for this type of product was ingenious. Thanks again so much. Have a blessed holiday!

I have been meaning to email to tell you how AMAZINGLY beautiful your books turned out! I am in LOVE!! I gave two of them out already and the moms went NUTS! I almost wanted to keep them all for myself! Such amazing attention to detail and beautiful work. I cannot believe I didn’t find you sooner, I would have chronicled my daughter’s entire first year with your books! J Thank you, thank you, thank you! They are beyond gorgeous and by the far the BEST gift I have ever given!

I just wanted to let you know how happy the custom book made my family! My sister told me that after she read the book, Ruby looked all around, as if to look for all of us! And my father (Ruby's grandpa) loves his copy, too! He brought it to work and everyone ooh-ed and ah-ed!
