The greeting cards came to me very promptly. I really like the colors of the pictures on the front of the cards. The paper takes ink very well, no smearing. I love the envelopes too. They receive ink well and dry quickly.

I just found out
By Michael C.
I found the beginning booklet confusing because the double sided pages are confusing. It goes through the book, then you flip the book over and go backwards through the book, but you don't do both sides of one page in order. I tried to return the products, but they never made it clear what the address was to return them too and they charge a significant restocking fee. Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying these unless you know exactly what you're getting into and know that you want it. I'm stuck with a product I'm not gonna use because I couldn't deal with the hassle of the returns after having just had a baby. I also find this curriculum too expensive for a family that has many children. $100 per child to learn all the levels - I've found better elsewhere.
