About Created 4 Me.
Greetings and a warm welcome from Created 4 Me.
This is the story of how Created 4 Me was established and the goals
we hope to accomplish.
After spending my entire career in
sports communications, I decided to take a “temporary retirement” from the work
force in 1998 to spend more time with
my children, who were 9 and 6 at the time. I had worked for such notable
organizations as the National
Basketball Association in New York, The Metro Athletic Conference in Atlanta,
Georgia,
and the College Football Association
in Boulder, Colorado. Over the course of 16 years I produced close to 500
publications. My love for creating
books and publications began in high school when I was entrusted as the editor
of the yearbook my senior year.
Over the four and a half years away
from work I kept busy carting my children to activities. During that time I kept
kicking
around ideas for a business that would
allow me to set my own schedule while still playing an important role in my
children’s lives.
During these years many friends and relatives had started
families and I was never able to find just the right baby gift or holiday gift
for
pre-schoolers. I was always looking
for a gift that was educational for the child but could also be treasured by the
child and parents.
The idea of a personalized children's
book that I created from scratch became my goal. One night while watching "The
Late Show with
David Letterman" the marquee at the
beginning of the show caught my attention. I envisioned putting a child's name
in the marquee and
I suddenly had the theme for the book and the title — My
Name in Lights. I immediately started jotting down my thoughts which led to
dancing
letters and a stage with animated
performers representing those letters. One phone call to a printer who I had
worked with years before set
the ball rolling and My Name in Lights became official in May 2003 under the
company name “Created 4 Me.”
I was very fortunate to find Bob Fuller, a children’s
illustrator in Denver. When I communicated my brainchild to Bob he was able to
put my
ideas into a sketch in a matter of minutes. I knew immediately that I
wanted him to create the illustrations for the book! Bob is a
nationally-known
illustrator who has a line of products he has developed with Russ Berrie.
I have set out to create a fun book
that captures a child’s attention while helping them learn to spell their name
and recognize the letters of the
alphabet. Our company is dedicated to
operating a business that will get the product to the customer as quickly as
possible. I hope you and
your children enjoy the book as much
as I have producing it.
