Bracelet Design Update

I'm in the process of redesigning several of my bracelets. I'm replacing the clear crystal rondelles with sterling silver bali-style beads. Due to manufacturing changes, the crystal rondelles weren't holding up to my standards the way they used to. The bali-style beads are beautiful, durable, elegant and I think you'll like them as much as I do. Here are the bracelets that have been updated already, click on the image to be taken directly to the product description:

Angel Bracelet-Pearl: 1 bead

Angel Bracelet-Pearl: 2 beads

Mom's Bracelet-Pearl: 2 beads

Mom's Bracelet-Pearl: 3 beads

Mommy's Little Girl Crystal Bracelet:
1 bead

Mommy's Little Boy Crystal Bracelet:
3 beads & footprint charm

Thank you to everyone who took the time to post their children's names, dates, stories, and even photos on our Blog and Facebook Page for Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I was overwhelmed with emotion and humbled by the amount of people that stopped by to honor their children's memories. My candles burned brightly as I read all the names and stories of each. I wish you all peace and comfort as you continue to grieve and miss your babies. Their light will shine brightly in your heart forever.

As promised, I have two t-shirts to give away from My Very Own Angel
The blog winner is Jessie Lastre

I made a mistake last week. Stephanie of My Very Own Angel is hosting the Thinking of You Customized Footprint Charm giveaway on her Facebook Fan Page right now through Tuesday afternoon. Leave a comment under the giveaway posting to be entered to win. Good Luck!

My friend Holly of Caring for Carleigh is still going to be hosting some giveaways from My Forever Child and other prizes for the rest of October. Hop on over there and subscribe to her blog, plus it's a real pleasure to read.

Raising awareness of miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancies, birth defects, terminal illnesses, SIDS and infant death does not end on October 15th. It's a year round endeavor that takes continual time and effort. The more we speak out to the public that our babies lives mattered, no matter how brief, the more change we can create for the future, and maybe other baby's lives will be saved and their families will be spared from the sorrow we know too well. (((Hugs))) to you all, my friends.
