My friend Sue from My Forever Child sent me a lovely butterfly charm around Carleigh’s birthday. It was such a sweet gift and it is a beautiful charm (pic isn’t that great to show it!). I’m not quite sure what I will do with the charm yet. I have thought about making it into a necklace with some other charms but I still have not decided. So for now I have it tucked away until I am sure.
Thank you Sue!!!
Today I have a lovely Christmas giveaway for those who have lost a child. Many thanks to Sue at My Forever Child for working with with me on this and always being so generous. You are a wonderful person and a great friend! You can check out the My Forever Child site to see all that Sue has to offer. You can purchase a piece from the site and personalize it or have her make you a custom piece that you have in mind. I have done both and can attest to the high quality craftsmanship and personable service that Sue offers.
I am so excited for this giveaway and for the person who wins.
This giveaway is for a Sterling Silver square bangle bracelet with rope edging detail for an elegant look. You’ll love the hefty weight in this high quality sterling silver piece. The large .75” x .75” square front plate can be engraved with 2 footprints, or 2 handprints, or 1 hand and 1 foot. The back plate can be engraved with up to 3 lines of personalization.
The winner will have their child’s hand and/or footprint images custom engraved onto the bangle bracelet. The finished piece will be photographed as a sample picture on the My Forever Child website.
I have to say I love this bangle bracelet and so want one for myself!!!
This giveaway will be open until December 24th at 11:59 pm EST. The winner of the bracelet will be announced on Christmas.

I didn't find out about these wonderful giveaways until after all the days were filled up but Tina still let me participate so here is my day!! (My day is the 22nd-posting early for those living in other time zones.)
I don't think it would surprise some of you for me to say that I love helping others. It makes me happy to be able to do something for somebody else. The desire to help others has only increased since my Carleigh left me back in March.
One of the first acts of kindness shown to me after Carleigh's birth was from Sue at My Forever Child. It was the evening of Carleigh's first visitation. My pastor came and gave me a package. It was very puzzling because I wasn't expecting anything and I had no clue what it was. I opened up the package to discover a beautiful bracelet that had Carleigh's name and birth date engraved on one side and her footprints on the other. I was absolutely astonished that someone I never even knew would do something so nice for me. I didn't even know Sue was following us but our story touched her and she decided to send not only the bracelet for me but pins for my entire family to wear. Just like I wear my bracelet, my family still wears those pins.
Since then Sue and I have become quite acquainted and I have given away quite a few pieces of her jewelry and other remembrance items as well as having bought some for myself. I love having these reminders that I can either see or wear. It's nice when someone asks about your jewelry because then you have an opportunity to talk about your baby.
So, for my day I would like to give away items from My Forever Child.
The first piece is the Fertility-Pregnancy Charm Necklace. This necklace has several charms that hold a special meaning. A charm with the word 'Baby' is a visual reminder of your motherhood intentions, Our Heart Swirl with Moonstone gemstone charm promotes love, genuine rose quartz promotes the healing of broken hearts and increases the reception of love, and genuine blue chalcedony decreases negativity and depression and increases sleep and tranquility.
The second piece is a Forget-Me-Not beaded bookmark. This bookmark has art glass beads that are strung onto color coordinated waxed Irish linen cord with silver toned spacer beads and charms.
The third piece is the Healing Heart Charm Necklace. This necklace has several charms that hold a special meaning. A 'Heal' charm is a reminder to take care of your emotional and physical well being, genuine rose quartz promotes the healing of broken hearts and increases the reception of love, genuine amethyst heart is for remembrance of your loved ones, and a small heart charm is to symbolize the healing heart.
To enter this giveaway just leave me a comment and tell me of an act of kindness that someone did for you when you were hurting.
All quantities are limited on her new designs to only 1 or 2 and there was only 1 of the one I wanted so I quickly called hubby and got the ok to get it! Phew! I really like it because it has a star and the color purple, which both remind me of Carleigh. I also like the 3 inspirational words.
