Memories for the Making is owned by Alison Wong, a former graphic designer/marketing maven/retail junkie. It all started when Laurie Patraitis-Carroll, Alison's best friend from high school made her an album for a wedding gift. After that it was pure obsession, hard work, and help from many friends, family and anyone else we could find to help us get started! On July 15, 1998 we opened our doors for business and Amy Purdy was our FIRST customer (she now works for us too!)
