Thank you for your warm reply. It's quite a bit of work personalising stories for parents, but it is a challenge I relish. The first lady I wrote a personalised story was very gracious. Instead of just sending me photos of her children she invited me over to her place on a Saturday so that I could observe her boys playing and interacting with each other. It was a fantastic day! It blessed me as a writer because I could pick up on their little habits, that are impossible to accurately decipher from still photographs. Being there meant I could suss out what their favourite toys were. I was able to take in their surroundings inside and out side the house. I went around sketching pictures of the children and their pet russel terrier and the gelding they feed up the road.

It was wonderful and she was pleased with the result.
