"I would love to share my experience with Patty Donahue at The Image Awards and Engraving Store. I have wanted to get my pictures out of the drawer and into some order for my family. I was told by a friend to take digital scrapbooking class and it would help to get my pictures organized in a real cool way. I went to a digital scrapbooking class and had no idea what I was doing. As we started the class Patty the instructor was so laid back it made me feel relaxed because this was a task that I feared I would never get to do. After some instructions Patty was showing us what she has done and gave us great ideas as we worked on our projects in her studio. Patty made you feel so welcome and even with all my questions never made you feel like you were unable to create a book. I made three digital scrapbooks so far as gifts my family was totally blown away at the idea. I can't wait until I go to another class at the studio it's a lot of fun I have been working with Image Awards for almost ten years. I have been very pleased with the quality of the awards the level of customer service and Patty's willingness to share her professional expertise. Patty's work always make my organizations look good. The Legislator of the Year award she recently helped us with was stunning. Everyone was thrilled with the results especially since this will be an annual award. Whether it's helping us to choose an award or providing guidance on wording and artwork I can always count on Patty."
