Retirement Celebration

It’s a high calling,
one sheep being designated
to lead the others.
But you’ve always shown
that your master is the
Shepherd and your job is
to follow Him wherever
He leads the flock.

Thank you for blessing
our church with humble
leadership, priestly ministry,
and a deep love of the Lord.
You have blessed us in
so many ways.

Well done, good and faithful servant...
Enter into the joy of your lord.
Bible Verse ... Matthew 25:21

It was absolutely beautiful!

It was easy to create/configure the award. Having never used DIY before, we were a little nervous about what we would be receiving.
When it arrived, it was absolutely beautiful!
We would not hesitate recommending DIY Awards to everyone!

When I opened up the box, it was stunning, the font, the color and weight. I didn't want to touch it because I didn't want to get my prints on it. It is remarkably beautiful.

When I received the cross, it was better than expected. It was very pleased with the end result. The weight and size was perfect.

Exquisitely beautiful.

I was shopping to find a keepsake gift for a friend and Assistant Pastor at my church to commemorate his Ordination into ministry. They provided simple and intuitive online personalization process. It was so very easy. I love that you can literally design your own gift. The fonts, sizing, color options were awesome. They provided professional mockups for my review & approval the same day. The expert I worked with was very patient, kind, & supportive, and responded quickly when I had questions or even asked for their opinion (even sending a new mockup with each change, or opinion request). This was my second gift purchased from this awesome company, and they surpassed my expectations again. The entire process was quick. I had the gift in 4 days (only due to my questions). My first gift ordered took only 2 days. The entire process right down to the packaging for shipment is high quality. The inside box is beautiful, very professional, and I used it for the presentation unwrapped. I will definitely use this company again. They are awesome!!!!!

Beautiful and sturdy. Entire ordering process was simple and friendly. Exceeded expectations!

I ordered a gift cross to celebrate our pastor’s anniversary of ordination. The company provided an estimated “in hand” date of Friday on a weekend that I expected to be out of town. Not wanting to tempt the porch pirates, I contacted them to ask if they would delay shipping until I returned the next week, to which they agreed, but then they ended up delivering early, prior to my departure. They exceeded my expectations and the entire ordering experience was simple and pleasant. Very impressed!
