I don't know if this would be considered artwork or not. However, I wanted to use today to show off this precious item. Connor's birth wasn't a happy occasion like most. It didn't call for things such as posting pictures all over Facebook, texting everyone we knew, or purchasing birth announcements.
A few months after he was born, when I was more ready to look at things, I scoured etsy. I was interested to see what time of memorial items people made. I found this. I instantly fell in love with it. How precious and perfect is this? I don't think I would have had it in me to purchase it, and mail it out, as a birth announcement. I have other plans for it though. I immediately emailed all Connor's information, and his footprints, and ordered a card all about him.
It turned out perfect. You can see her shop: here
I have been thinking about ways I can use this precious card. I want to share it with others, who have shown so much kindness and love towards us. Those who clearly love Connor, even if they never got to meet him. I think when I'm ready, soon. I am going to use this to mail out as thank you cards. Thank yous for all the support we've been shown. So that others can have a little piece of Connor. Even if it is just his footprints.
I can't wait to get these printed and put them to use.
October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness month. I'm participating in the Capture Your Grief project. This project was set up by another blogger. It is a way to travel through grief, with others. I will not stress myself out if I don't get every single day. Some days may only be posted here, others only on Facebook, and some on both media outlets. Read more about it at this website.
