The 5th Belongs to Calvin: In My Heart Giveaways

Posted on February 5, 2012 by Crystal Theresa| 3 Comments

Calvin's In My Heart picture card Dear Calvin,

It’s your 35th month in heaven, and I can’t believe your 3rd heavenly birthday is just around the corner. I wanted to do something creative and design-y for today. So, I decided to create a Valentine’s-inspired e-tag with the message Always, I will carry you in my heart, because that’s how I feel about you and your sisters and brother. To celebrate your special day, I made this one with your picture.

And to say thank you to those who have been walking this journey with our family, I made a free version of the tag and am also giving a couple customizable versions. All inspired by you and your siblings.

You, Rainbow, Gaelen, and Charlie are our light, and we love you so much.

Hugs and Kisses,
Mommy

To my readers I have three versions of the In My Heart e-tag to share with you: a freebie mini -ecard and two custom/personalized giveaways.

Update: I’ve decided to extend the drawing date to Saturday!

Warm wishes from our family to yours

Remembering the Little Ones we Miss

In honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, Calvin’s Cupcakes is offering this free PAIL Cupcake for you to use for your baby/babies. Just click on the image to go to Calvin’s Cupcakes, where you can get the the high resolution version.

In addition to my Calvin, Rainbow, and Gaelen, there are so many babies that have been in my thoughts and in my heart since I joined this club. Here are just some of the sweet little ones whose families I’ve been blessed to meet (this doesn’t even come close to all of their names, and I fit all as much as I could):

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day 2011

I apologize if I didn’t fit your little one’s this time around. Being sick made less prepared for today than I wanted to me, but do know I’m thinking of you and your babies.

How do you feel about this?

Between

Posted on October 1, 2011 by Crystal Theresa| 3 Comments

I’ve decided to participate in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month), a daily blogging challenge that offers a theme and prompts to guide you along the way. This month’s theme is “Between,” which goes perfectly with how I’ve been feeling and where I find myself: between hope and despair, between love and fear, between trying to conceive and holding a living child in my arms.

For Day 1 of this challenge, I decided to design my own badge for this month’s theme. I took this picture at a coffee shop where my support group used to get together after our session at the hospital was over. It gives me such hope to look at that little flower reaching through a gap in the wooden boards and through the chain link fence.

How do you feel about this?
