My friend Heidi has a beautiful ministry called Butterfly Kisses. With her ministry she takes blankets for your baby and embroiders them with their hand and foot prints. After seeing her work a couple times I really wanted to get this done for Carleigh.
I decided to do the blanket that was given to me by some family members for Carleigh’s first Christmas in Heaven in 2009. The soft, pink, marshmallow blanket was already embroidered with her name and birthday and a moon holding a little bear.
The blanket has sat in her memory chest since we got it. I had not even unwrapped it from the ribbon or taken it off the hanger it came on. But I took off the ribbon and removed the hanger (then put the ribbon back on) and sent it off to Heidi for her to do her magic. She did a fabulous job!
The blanket for now has been wrapped back up in the ribbon and put back in the memory chest. I plan to get it out more and use it for both the girls and me as they continue to get older. I imagine us wrapped up in it and they ask about the prints and then I can talk to them about their sister.
Thank you Heidi!

Holly, that blanket is so beautiful. What a nice keepsake to have.
Love it!
I love it Holly!!! It looks like such a cozy blanket, I can just picture you, Kyndra and Lainey all snuggled up together while talking about Carleigh. Tons of love to you!
That is so sweet! What a great idea! One thing I really wish I had was Vanessa's tiny little hand and feet print. That is something you will be able to cherish forever.
That is lovely! I think that is such a good idea to wrap the girls in it and use it to bring up Carleigh.
Heidi does do such lovely work. It is just beautiful!
Now Carleigh can wrap her little hands around you and give you a hug!
Beautiful work, Heidi!

That is so precious Holly. I'm sure you will treasure it forever. Heidi must be a very special person to put that kind of love and effort into her ministry, I'm sure it takes a lot of time and skill to embroider those prints! What a wonderful healer for the bereaved.
Love this!
