KEEPSAKES INSPIRED BY YOUR CHILD’S ARTWORK

“Thank you for making our daughter Kieran’s First Holy Communion so special — she was truly amazed that her artwork was made into a special rosary just for her! We know she will treasure this gift as she grows in her faith.” — Molly (Nashville, TN)

“Over the last year I have ordered wonderful creations from St. Keepsake. These pieces are charming and whimsical and have involved many people in my family helping to design and customize them. I love Colette’s concept which transforms personalized artwork into sweet, imaginative treasures. Colette is easy to work with and has a joyous spirit who ‘gets’ the stories she is telling with her creative inspiration which ensures that special moments are captured forever.” — Trish (Portland, OR)

“I recently had the opportunity to work with Colette on the design of a ‘family heirloom’ rosary to commemorate my mother’s 75th birthday. The scope of the project was daunting, and needed to incorporate artwork and quotations from seven grandchildren, and three sets of married children, all scattered across the country. Colette’s skills as a listener, gifted collaborator, and consummate artist proved invaluable from the start. She was able to translate my wishes on design, colors and overall feel for the piece into a completely stunning, unique and original design which brought tears to my mother’s eyes and continues to illicit ‘oohs’ and ‘awes’ from her circle of friends. I cannot say enough about the beauty and emotional impact of her pieces, which will be treasured for generations to come. She is nothing short of a creative genius, whose hands are truly moving under the spirit’s command.” — Reneé (Portland, OR)

“We are thrilled! When my son opened the package he saw the rosary and his mouth dropped!”
— Courtney (St. Louis, MO)

“Our grandsons thoroughly enjoyed preparing the drawings that went into their St Keepsake pieces. They were both awed with the results produced by Colette’s unique talents! Her passion for her art comes through in each beautiful piece she creates.” — Sara (Kalama, WA)

“This is a truly unique idea and a project that really touched my family; the kids got to express their spirituality and Granma has something that she will always treasure from their childhood.”
— Keith (Madison, AL)

“What a treat to have my daughter’s original artwork involved in a beautiful work of art! Something holy, lovely, and original. We feel very blessed to have this keepsake to share with her future family.” — Joanie (Portland, OR)

“We got the rosary and it’s absolutely beautiful. When Christmas rolls around, we’ll get in touch to do a nativity scene as well. Thank you for all your hard work on this.”
— Carol Ann (Portland, OR)

“What I really love about your work, is that they are unique heirloom quality pieces that can be handed down generation to generation, inspiring our children’s children while passing on the tradition of religion in a fun and timeless way.” — Deanna (Portland, OR)

“These are memories a family will have forever and now you have created a way for children and parents to hold these memories in their hearts forever. I thank God for people like you. You make God really present for me and many others. ” — Kathy (Portland, OR)
