My 82 year old mother was diagnosed with Altzheimer's several years ago and we recently made the wrenching decision to put her in an assisted living facility.  I decided to cast my mother's hands after noticing the beautiful statue of elderly hands on your main page. It was an activity we enjoyed doing together, and now that I have it, it means more than I can say. After seeing the results of my mother's hands, my wife and I are going to do one of the two of us to pass on to our 2 year old daughter, and a third casting of our daughter for us to keep as she grows. Life really does fly by. I'm so glad I came across your website.  -- Mark N., Kansas City, MO

We babysit a friend's little boy and did a hand and foot shadow box of baby Shane as a special surprise for his mom.  What a wonderful gift to give to a young mother who absolutely adores her child!  Needless to say she was thrilled with the results.  She loved the castings and we could tell how much it meant to her to have this remembrance of his babyhood to hang on the wall.  Just wanted to let you know it was a big success! -- Anna R., Lisle, IL

Since I truly love my dog as if he was my second child, the thought of him passing away and never having anything to remember him by is very sad.  He's currently 10 years old and beginning to show signs of aging.  Realizing he has a few good years left, I decided to invest in your 11x14 shadow box kit to capture an image of his paw.  I was amazed at how realistic the impression was, showing all the little bumps on his paw pads and even the hair in between, and Max didn't seem to mind the experience either.  I put a framed picture of him (with the paw print) into the shadow box, just like one of the pictures you show on your site. I love the finished results so much, I just wanted to write and say thank you. To me, the keepsake I created is extremely valueable.  Irreplaceable.  The fine quality of the frame can be placed anywhere within my home.  I would recommend this product to anyone who holds a special place in their heart for their animal. -- Michelle A.,  Wheaton, IL

I got one of your baby shadow box kits as a present when our new daughter was born.  I can't tell you how much we love the results!  The casts of her tiny hands and feet literally made me cry.  Thank you so much for this beautiful keepsake! -- Debra C., Chicago, IL

I have purchased several things from your site to use as gifts and they have been very popular at baby showers. Everyone I've given them to loved their gift. Your belly cast kits and baby hand casting kits have both been huge hits! -- S. Jones, Provo, UT
