About Personalized Pet Tales
Personalized Pet Tales: The name says it all.
Personalized because the photo captions are from the pet’s point of view and because it’s all about them.
Pet because the subject of the books primarily is our pets, our furry companions, and our best buds. Whether they’re still with us or have ventured over the Rainbow Bridge, these fur kids are an integral part of our lives.
And, Tales because of the play on words of a story and the appendage at the back end of a pet.
I've since ventured into making books about babies, military life, and for non-profit pet-related groups. But the personalized part is still there.
Personalized Pet Tales began in the summer of 2007. We kept two dogs for friends during their vacations, so our canine clan grew to six temporarily. What a blast we had! Samson, the 6-month-old beagle, got to see horses and cows for the first time. And Rex, the 7-year-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyranees mix, enjoyed his own version of camping by lying under the camper top for afternoon naps.
Being a creative sort, I thought it would be a treat to send Samson and Rex home with scrapbooks about their adventures. With photos and whimsical layouts, we proved Rex took his meds every morning, Samson peed in the kiddie pool, and everyone—including our four canines—had a great time.
Our guests went home with a “What I Did at Evert Summer Camp 2007” book to show their parents. Rex’s parents displayed his book beside the family portrait on the mantel. As they laughed at his adventures, they encouraged me to make these type of books for others.
We use the old-fashioned method of cut & paste with our products, so you can feel the touch of the pages on textured paper. You can see the shadow from a 3-D embellishment, and you can rub the photo to feel close to your fur kid who’s crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
Pawsitively yours,
