Dear Angela,

My family and friends always tell me how hard it is to shop for me, so I was completely taken aback when a close friend presented me with my very own customized poster, with my name and a very flattering (but true) description of me and my life.

It was the perfect thing for somebody, like myself, who is difficult to shop for. And it couldn't have touched me more, knowing that somebody had spent the time getting something custom made just for me.

I was so honored to be listed beside some of my heroes — people who have greatly inspired me — and also have my own life story printed right up next to those that I admire. It was the perfect gift for me!

Hi, Angela!

I wanted to write to you to tell you just how much my mother-in-law loved and appreciated her poster! She was, and remains, completely thrilled. But I have to tell you, what she — and I — both liked best was how you accurately incorporated the activities, biological information, and most importantly, the people who are closest to her heart. That's such a great personal touch, and something we didn't expect — a wonderful conversation starter! Each time she shows her poster to someone new (and by the way, everyone who comes into her home sees it!) he/she will invariably say something like, "I didn't know you were born in Canada. Tell me more about that." And so it goes... So, please accept my sincere thanks for taking your time to ensure that wonderful people, like my mother-in-law, feel very, very special.

Warm Regards,

Estimada Angela,

Estoy escribriendo esta carta para informarle que mis padres encantarón los posters que hiciste para ellos, Mi Papa, Mama y toda la familia estuvierón fascinados con todas los personalidades demonstrados en los posters. Pasamos horas hablando de la colección de información y historia en la presentación. Eso es prueba que los posters son ideal piezas de conversación.

Mis padres con mucho orgullo colgarón los posters en la entrada de su casa para ser vista a todos, Son regalos muy especial para ellos. Mis padres, familia y yo agradecimos su creación estupendo. ¡Muchisimas gracias!

Con mucho carino,

Dear Angela,

I am writing this letter to inform that you that my parents enjoyed posters that you did for them. My father and mother were fascinated by the research that went into the posters and the entire family studied all the personalities shown in the posters. We passed hours speaking of the collection of information and history in the personalities. That is a true test that the posters are ideal conversation pieces.

My parents display the posters with much pride in the entrance of their house to be viewed by all. The posters are very special gifts for them, and I thank you for their wonderful creation. Thank you very much!

With much affection,
Sarah Contreras, Albuquerque, NM)

Dear Angela,

I purchased a SurvivorPoster for my sister's 6th anniversary as a breast cancer survivor. I wish I could adequately express the reception it received from my sister. She was incredulous that someone would put together such an item. It was so personalized that she felt it expressed her innermost thoughts and pumped up her "survivor genes". Thank you so much for such a clever and heartwarming gift!

Hello Angela,

My brother has been a stay-at-home dad for 11 years and takes his role very seriously. I wanted him to know how valued his hard work is and so I purchased a "Famous Dads" poster for Father's Day this year. It was a resounding hit! He said it was the nicest Father's Day gift he had ever received.
