Mr Samuel John Butcher first started out by creating beautiful drawn gifts for his friends and relatives that illustrate lovely children with tear dropped shaped eyes, he called these his "Precious Moments". His talent for artistic creations blossomed at a tender age. With the encouragement from his mother, Sam attended the Art Formal Training after his high school and received a scholarship to attend Berkeley's Arts & Crafts College.
In 1970's Sam along with Mr. Bill Biel started their own Precious Moments line of art such as stationery, posters and cards with all of Sam's drawings on them. With the wonderful and creative line of artworks, it has gain great popularity whereby retailers enthusiastically await to place many orders for their new artwork.
A few years later, Enesco Corporations Head, Mr. Gene Friedman, contacted Sam and talked him into letting Enesco create a figurine based on Sam's artwork called "Love One Another". Fujiokasan is the master sculptor to bring Sam's art to life. Upon seeing the figurine, Sam was so touched by the outcome that he actually wept. That was literally the most crucial moment in its history.
Twenty-one beautiful and original figurines were out in the markets by the year 1978. The collection was a major success and Sam received thousands of inspirational letters from customers who told him how those figurines had meant so much to their lives and how they had brought such joy into them as well. In the year 2005, Precious Moments, Inc. came to life and every year new figurines are introduce to the world and web sites are found with all sorts of collectors and fan links to them.
