Fab Vendor Monday- {For Keeps Sake Designs}
At Creative Custom Card Boxes we like to highlight new and fabulous products in the wedding and event industry. For Keeps Sake Designs has a great product that i’m so lucky to be able to use first hand once our little one is born! What a great gift idea for a baby shower!
“My First Yearbook by For Keeps Sake Designs is a unique service for parents. We have made it easy to keep up with baby’s first year memory book with a simple weekly email form throughout baby’s first year. This information is then gathered and put into a custom 40 page professionally printed book with a handcrafted one of a kind hardback cover and ribbon closure. No two books are ever the same, and are as unique as your baby! No more forgotten stories, blank pages, or scribbled out words! In addition, 10% of profits are donated to First Candle or the Trisomy 18 Foundation in memory of our angel baby, Ethan Ryan James Miesnik.”

How did you get started in your business?
I started out doing nursery design and baby showers. I had always thought there should be a service like the “My First Yearbook” and saw a need for it when working with mom to be’s. I decided to go for it and here we are!
How long have you been doing it?
1 year, just launched on our website and nationally after much success in our test run!
Describe your style.
Hmm, I love very elegant designs, I’m not a huge fan of modern.
Do you do have any other jobs?
I’m a wife and mom, and I do accounting for a hotel, and soon to be lending my expertise part time for an event planning service.
What else would you be doing for a living?
I’d be an astronaut! For real! (don’t laugh!)
What is something that few people know about you?
Oh gosh, I once was volunteered to do a commercial in 8th grade for a non-profit my mom worked for. I was unaware I would be sitting in a wheelchair petting a donkey, (who bit me very hard!) how embarrassing. One day a girl at school said, “I saw a girl on tv who looked just like you! But she was in a wheelchair”
Would you like to say anything about your friends at Creative Custom Card Boxes?
Marni is such an inspiration to me! I love her musical background as well because I was in show choir in high school and I love love love to sing (karaoke one night Marni?) lol. The work CCCB does is amazing, I love their cardboxes and can’t wait to have an excuse to buy one!
Have anything else to share with our readers?
10% of our profit is donated to First Candle and the Trisomy 18 foundation. Our dedication to ending infant death stems from the loss of our baby boy, Ethan, to SIDS. Through our business we have been able to raise awareness and educate new parents about the risk of SIDS as well as provide the non-profits with much needed money for research!
Very interesting blog post thanks for sharing I have added your website to my favorites and will be back
