Flattenme Review♥

All stories have a beginning. This is theirs. Years ago, her husband caught their daughter on film eating a gobstopper – 15 photos taken over 24 minutes and 10 seconds. The photos were arranged in a book and given to her daughter as a special gift. It was love at first sight. Her daughter slept with it, ate with it, took it on road trips. Love-worn and long-admired, the book slowly fell apart, just like the fur on the Velveteen Rabbit. Their lives are defined by stories – stories of childhood, of triumph, of loss. Even wild stories of the imagination. When a child pretends to be a pirate or a princess or a fairy, she truly believes she has changed, become part of a different world for that moment in time. She has invented a new story of her own. It is in this world – one of imagination, inspiration and gifts of the heart – in which Flattenme was born. They seek not only to spark the imagination of a child, but to take a story which starts as a moment in time – a photograph – and then becomes something entirely new. So, storytelling first. And then, what? Wonderment and delight is not the sole domain of children. We all have the chance to find magic within ourselves, allowing our own stories to unfold. As Arthur Clarke once said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

 I’m a HUGE fan of personalized gifts. I like when something is a little extra special for a child. I was sent a copy of “Blessings For Lilyana & Sophia" to review. I really like the fact that you can include a dedication of up to 6 lines with up to 35 characters in each. This is a perfect way for the child to remember who gave it to them. Throughout the book, in poem style, there names flows in and out of the blessings/story. The verbiage is beautiful and well-written but the illustrations really packs an extra punch! The colors and life-like pictures draw their eyes and hold their attention. With a sturdy hard cover, solid binding, and personalized message, this book is sure to be treasured for years to come. This one-of-a-kind keepsake book, Blessings for You, is a great gift for new baby gifts, baby showers, christenings, confirmation, first communion, baptisms, birthdays, holidays or for just any occasion to say 'I love you'. Overall,  I have to say that out of all the personalized books I’ve seen, this one is probably my favorite.  It’s well made and well written. Flattenme has done an excellent job in making a high quality product.
