Customer Reviews
Melissah..I’m speechless, thankyou so much!
When I received my order, it took my breath away, It’s perfect..my mother in law couldn’t stop crying when she received it 🩷
Thankyou for creating such a beautiful item that will be forever cherished.
I organised for our 5 children to write “I love you” in their own handwriting and have their words framed for my partners birthday. I was so happy with the finished product when I received my order, and my partner loves his sentimental keepsake!!! Highly recommend this business if you want to create something truly special for yourself or a loved one x
What an amazing keepsake! Melissah did such a fabulous job taking a bunch of scribble and putting it together into something that looks like a note handwritten by my Mum.
Such a special piece of artwork to treasure 💛
Melissah from the Little Ideas Project did an amazing job to bring to life a memento from 12 years ago which has become a treasure that our family will forever cherish. The quality is outstanding and the craftsmanship captures even the smallest of details. Couldn’t recommend anyone else to do such an amazing job!
I cannot recommend Mel and her incredible work more highly! She managed to create the most treasured keepsake of my dear mama’s handwriting following her sudden passing a few years ago.
Signing off EACH and EVERY Birthday card with “Love you to moon and back” became mum’s special message to us and all her grandchildren…. Knowing we won’t be receiving any more cards from her, Mel has managed to give my sisters and I (YES, I have ordered three of them!) the invaluable gift of a forever memory we all hold so dear, that look so beautiful hanging on our walls!!
Do yourself a favour and let Mel work her magic, you will not regret it!!!
