A really cute gift. Great value for money. Excellent service.
Very well designed. The picture uploaded was clear and of high quality printing. Satisfied with the service :)
Fast delivery, and the quality of the puzzle is not bad. The design and color is exactly the same as the template. Well, the delivery is in 1 piece and we want to send to my friend in loose packing. However the cutting of the puzzle is not really completely cut, it's difficult to tear out and spoil the puzzle. Hope can improve this.
Tq for making it perfect, as it was meant for someone really special to me. I am so glad i stopped by your page by accident and so glad i made the right choice to customize my order with Printcious! :) #perfectionprintcious

I made this puzzle for my parents and they love it! Thank you, Printcious for your excellent services and products :)
very good service.m very much happy
Item arrived in a good condition. The puzzle piece also good. I recommend to use raw image, instead of using editted image. Recommended. Good job.
Quite satisfied with the product since it isn't very different from the picture i uploaded.And what i bought is a puzzle , and the puzzle does really working as a puzzle so I'm satisfy with it
Love the Product, all picture nice and clear. Better don't use darker pictures, because they got a little bit more dark. I'm sure I'll order again with brighter pictures from my side. For a personalized item the delivery time was good.
Great customer service to guide me shop with printcious to create the puzzles. tired abt fixing the puzzle but quite enjoyed it. tq. will buy again.
fast delivery and the puzzle same like photo. very nice
Printed in good quality. Love the end product!
The product quality was good especially the glass along with photo frame is protected well. Also the delivery is speedy! Would recommend and will come back for other items. Thanks!
Great service provided. Fast delivery. Item in good condition
I ordered 500pcs pazzle for my friend's gift. I love it !! Fast services, staff are kind. I would love to order again in near future.
Puzzle arrived safely, although with some bends at the edge. It would be better if Printcious provides an image box along with the puzzle for us to be able to follow the image when assembling the puzzle, and for safekeeping. At the same price, this would make the cost more attractive as well. Quality of the photo was better than expected, and order was completed within the next working day. Very efficient service. Thank you :)
My friend love it so much.Thank you so much♥
love it! user friendly & service is good <3
Received with good packing and image printing colour same as picture i was send.
The whole purchase was smooth and the puzzle received was beautiful and a perfect gift.
Really love it..just as per what I imagine

lovely puzzle! will recommend to others!
Yeayyy my items are here..
more cheaper,good service to customer will conformed with customer for their order
Fast delivery! Received the product faster than expected. I love it that the box and presentation of the product is simple yet beautiful to be received as a gift. I love that it comes with an original printed photo as a puzzle guide. The puzzle printing though I was expecting it to be slightly higher quality cos the picture provided is quite high resolution. There is a slight shimmering shine to the puzzle surface which is quite pretty but personally i would prefer it matte. Overall Good!
Ordered the puzzle as a surprise gift and it was extremely beautiful.Loved it!!!
Very impressed with the end product!
Thank you for your great service!
Good Quality . Fast Delivery. Great job from Printcious!

The customer support this company provides is excellent! They answered my queries and requests promptly and comprehensively. Mind you, I was doing the ordering and asking way after working hours thinking they'll get back to me when they can. They actually replied within the hour. I will definitely keep them in mind when I want personalised products and will highly recommend them to family and friends. Cheers for all the things you do and how you do them!
At 1st i received a not so good printing quality puzzle for this order. Hence dropped a message to printcious customer service, Henry Tong assisted one my case.

I have ordered 2 personalised puzzles from Printcious so far and they have both been absolutely perfect. I shall continue to order from Printcious, I live in the UAE, the delivery time is fantastic and the quality is great. I cannot recommend them enough. The only thing I struggle with is the website, it is translated from Arabic to English and can be quite confusing to access my personal profile and review my messages, in some instances I have missed them.
Item received in good order. Printing was good. I hope my friend will like her birthday gift.
Hi...I'm really happy with the your service and also love all the my gift for my beloved... U guys never disappointed me... Keep the good job guys...cheers😘😘😘

Hdq. Co. 103rd U.S. Inf.
Dear Pa.
Im feeling as good if not better that at any time in my life. It is getting pretty cool out this way, and it was realy cold last night. There was frost outside the tent. The sun sure does feel great today. I was out to drill for the first time since hitting this camp, and it was good, honestly. I havent heard from either of the sisters yet but I suppose they dont know my address yet. Id like to know how every thing is as soon as they get home.
It is a grand sight to see 250 men in one long line marching at evening parade. Its pretty. I hope this finds you well, also tell the Holland's I was asking for them. It looks as though we stay here for some time yet. Ill try to get home after pay day. I suppose you will be making the fire very soon.

Not even being friends with Superman can help him now.
Sam Jones III, who has played Clark Kent's buddy Pete Ross on the first three seasons of the hit CW series "Smallville," was sentenced to a year in prison on charges he conspired to sell 10,000 doses of the painkiller Oxycodone.
DEA agents raided his Canoga, California home in 2009 and discovered the illegal stash as well as evidence that Jones was part of a drug ring known as "the Hollywood Connection."
U.S. & World
To make matters worse, Jones' girlfriend, Karissa Shannon, moved out of his apartment and moved back into the Playboy Mansion to be closer to old boyfriend Hugh Hefner. Shannon and her sister were the infamous "Shannon Twins" who began dating Hef - alongside "runaway bride" Crystal Harris - after his breakup with the "Girls Next Door" trio of Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison, and Bridget Marquardt.
The 28 year-old appeared optimistic, however, tweeting after his sentencing "Just got out of court! God is great!!"

For advisors, time is money. They are constantly harangued to outsource their administrative tasks to broker-dealer and custodial partners in order to free up more time for client-facing activities — research among them. But what happens when too much time is spent looking for one particular item, only to then have trouble making heads or tails of the data retrieved?
Shawn Carpenter aims to solve the problem. The former Google executive is the co-founder and CEO of YCharts, a research and information provider that he considers a "Bloomberg for advisors," only without the static desktop terminal. YCharts' cloud design lets subscribers have access to information "whenever and wherever they need it."
"Prior to starting this company I was at Google for three and a half years," Carpenter relates, when asked about the genesis for the idea and the company. "I was part of this group called the revenue intelligence team, and we were the first group to get access to the global query database as well as the ads database. We could take all the information that was coming into Google and try to find opportunities for advertisers to reach consumers in a much more efficient way."
As one might expect, dealing with billions of queries, the data gets "pretty complex." Carpenter's and the team's answer was to visually represent much of what they were seeing in order to make sense of the information. Combining internal data with external public information and then layering in macro-industry information available through government sites took some doing (and time). That's where the idea for YCharts was born.
"I found I couldn't get access to a lot of the information I needed outside of Google anywhere, so I figured other people in the investment world probably had the same problem."
They initially launched in 2009 and in March of 2010, Carpenter, along with co-founder and CTO Ara Anjargolian, brought in the first investment round.
"Users just immediately got the site's visual nature of the fundamental analysis we provided on of a lot of companies," Carpenter said. "Looking at financial statements really isn't the easiest way to digest a lot of the information, so we've turned it into very visual information with the fundamentals and really allows you to look into companies in the same as you would analyze internal information."
The company got a big shot in the arm in November 2011, when Morningstar took a $3.5 million, 20% stake in the company. That was followed by another investment round in April, which brought in an additional $4 million.
"It's really helped us to continue to invest in engineering and building the team and it also gave us a lot of credibility. We've got close to one million users on a monthly basis and that's been growing rapidly since we launched."
YCharts aim to target the market that is below the "high-end terminals that are in the $1,500 to $2,000 per month per seat range." For most advisors, Carpenter notes, that price point won't work, "so we've been able to be a bit more efficient in term of how we built our system and can offer it at a more cost-effective manner."
"If you're dealing with equities and doing deep analysis and you have discretion it is perfect for an advisor like that. We finding a lot of advisors that are coming out of larger entities and setting up their own shop are really adding a lot of value for their clients and gravitating to the platform. They often have had terminals in the past but now they are building a smaller advisory firm; that is the sweet spot for us. Those firms really love YChat and are helping us continue to build out the platform."

"Before you were here, mi amor, I wondered what you would be like. Would you smile and laugh? Would you look like Mami o Papi, o Abuela o Abuelo?" - Before You Were Here, Mi Amor by Samantha Vamos
Pregnancy is a time full of wonder, excitement and much preparation. Children often exhibit curiosity about their birth, especially when their own mother becomes pregnant. My daughter poured over the new baby and sibling themed books I brought home before her brother was born. It helped her prepare for a sibling, and she never seemed to exhibit an "adjustment period" because we involved her in the pregnancy. She especially loved hearing stories of when she was a baby growing inside my belly.
The newest "new baby" book out right now is an exceptional bilingual picture book by Samantha Vamos titled Before You Were Here, Mi Amor. In her book, Vamos describes a family's actions and thoughts as they prepare for a new baby's arrival. Told from the mother's loving viewpoint, the sweet, heartwarming story includes several family members--a father, brother, sister, grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt all helping out in some way. For example, Abuela (grandmother) carefully paints un cocodrilo, dos elefantes, and tres tigres on the baby's bedroom wall. Using a unique writing style, Vamos effortlessly blends basic Spanish words into English sentences. Colors, shapes, numbers, and all sorts of useful "beginner" Spanish terms are brought to life in Santiago Cohen's colorful, expressive illustrations that perfectly complement and add clarity to the text. A back-page glossary translates all the Spanish words used in the book.
While this book would obviously appeal to children of Hispanic/Latin descent, Vamos' creative use of numerous "beginner" Spanish terms also makes the book an ideal resource for families interested in teaching Spanish as a second language to their children. The book would make an appropriate gift for an expecting or new mother as well. Parents magazine just featured Before You Were Here, Mi Amor in the May 2009 issue.
My preschool-aged daughter easily picked up numerous Spanish phrases by reading this book along with me. She really liked the page showing the sister's drawing of the family for the baby. She drew one exactly like it for her baby brother before his birth. I must admit I stumbled some while reading the Spanish words. Luckily we were able to listen to a audio version on Cody's Cuentos so that we could learn the correct pronunciations of the many Spanish words. One last thing--I love that Cohen drew a mustache wearing father. My own father has sported one ever since I can remember but I rarely see a father with a mustache depicted in picture books. Hmmm, now I'm left wondering, what is the Spanish word for mustache?
