I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I wish for you a peaceful day and gentle thoughts of your babies that will be missing from your day’s celebrations. I know I have struggled over the last few days just thinking of how this holiday should be. I miss my girls, however I do take much comfort in thinking that Hutch’s grandma is looking after them.
Since I can’t mail you all a Christmas card, here it is on my blog. I don’t know if you can read it or not, but the front says, “Blessed. So much to be grateful for this holiday season.” When I was choosing my cards (I went with Tiny Prints this year and LOVED them!!) I liked the looks of this one, but I really didn’t pay attention to any of the wording on it because that can always be changed. Once I decided I liked the layout of the pictures I read the card and thought it was perfect. We are blessed and we do have so much to be grateful for. We still miss our girls, and that will never change, but nevertheless, we are grateful for the ones who are here with us. The inside has Sophia’s & Ellie’s Christmas Tree in the sand that Carly drew for us. It is beautiful! Just my way of including them.
Okay, so onto the giveaways. I really don’t even want to tell you about the first one because I really want to win! But I will, today we are going back to see Amelia’s mommy, Stephanie, at Carried Through Grief. Stephanie is such an amazing painter and she has TWO paintings she is giving away today to two lucky winner! Go check it out, you’ll love them!
I am hosting the other giveaway today. So many of us have a certain phrase, saying, object, whatever that we associate with our babies. I want to work with the winner to come up with a very special piece of jewelry that captures their baby’s spirit perfectly. You may have something you have seen in the past, or an idea in your head, or no idea at all! But we will be working together closely to make it just right. Here are some things that come to mind that I have done in the past:
To enter my giveaway leave a comment here telling me a little something about what you think you may like if you win. I will choose a winner in a couple days because I know you are going to be too busy to visit today!
Merry Christmas my friends!
Sophia and Ellie mommy is missing you today and loving you always. xoxo

I have really loved these giveaways and if you do it again next year i would definantly like to host one(or two) thank you so much for organizing them they really have given me something to look forward to this christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love my necklace that i won on mothers day and wear it quite a bit but would really love something with their names o it and also maybe their cousin Lani's name too. I love Lani like she is my own so would love to have her included i a piece for my babies.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY AD ALL THE OTHER BABY LOSS FAMILIES OUT THERE Xxx
Thank you, Tina, for all your superb organization of these giveaways! I haven't won anything, but I have had fun! God bless you and your family!
ReplyDeleteIf I won this piece, I would like Meredith's name and One Perfect Rose on it. That is my blog name and there is a reason why I named it that.
Merry Christmas! Remembering Sophia & Ellie....
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful and thoughtful giveaway. If I was lucky enough to win I would love something with a bird on it. Ava means bird and it would be perfect as a way to keep her close to my heart.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say a huge thank you for hosting these giveaways. I have loved taking part and it has brought brightness to these difficult festive days. I have also discovered many new fabulous blogs :). I too would be happy to host something next year if there is another giveaway.
Wishing you and your family a gentle Christmas with floaty kisses to your beautiful girls. xxx
Tina, thank you so much for hosting 25 days of giveaways. It is so cool to visit new blogs and see everyone's giveaways. This gift is so generous. I don't know what I would pick for a phrase if I win. I love "I carry your heart with me", or maybe just their names and the word love. Anyway, thank you again. Much love to you and your family this Christmas day.
ReplyDeleteTina, Thank you for hosting these giveaways and helping us all have a little something more to be looking forward to each day. You are one amazing lady!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win your giveaway!!! I have been struggling with the jewelry I have that I love so much because I don't have anything that represents all my children. Just a peice for Shyla and a separate peice for Jakin. I would love something that incorporates them together with my living son.
Merry Christmas and Peace and Joy to you!
Thank you so much for doing all of this! It's been nice to have something to look forward to each day in the midst of grieving my children.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what I would want the jewelry to look like. I love necklaces. I have lost 2 babies: Baby Wheeler and Michael Noah. We associate butterflies with both of them. For Michael we also associate the Christian fish sumbol and white teddy bears. I would love to have something that has both of their names on it! And our signature for cards has handprints for BW and footprints for MN
Amazing TINA! What a huge success this Giveaway has been! I have to say, I have yet to win something. . . .not for lack of trying, but I would be honored to have some more of your jewelry! I don't have anything with all my children's names on it, and I would end up waiting until this baby is born in Jan/Feb. But my idea would be to have a piece with either all their initials or names on it! I don't know how many times I tell people I have 5 children, and then they see only 3 and I have to tell my story. A piece that has them all on it would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is just amazing Tina! Thank you for the opportunity to win ♥ I will have to think long and hard about what I would want if I win. I would want this piece to be absolutely perfect and honor Bryston and Colton in the very best way.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and God bless everyone ((hugs))
Thank you so much for doing these giveaways. I definately want to host a day next year. These giveaways have brought me great joy in this sad month as I miss my sweet Sienna. I love the heart necklace. I have always wanted something that says. "I can do hard things" I have been searching for something like that but I also like the one where it says. I will carry you in my heart always. Thanks again for doing this and let me know what I can do next year!
ReplyDeleteHi Tina,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, dear. Sending lots of love your and my utmost gratitude for putting this giveaway and all the others together. I feel so honored to have been a part of it all. I would love to win one of your necklaces, but I'm just not sure what I'd want right now. Guess if I won, I'd really have to think about it harder. Maybe something similar to my quote, "I'll love you forever. My baby you'll be." Not sure, though. Guess we'll just have to see if I win. Thank you!! ((hugs to you, hun))
Love, love, love your jewelry! Thank you also so much for hosting the giveaways! I won a CD by Stephen Chapman, and I am super excited to get it! We just found out we are expecting our rainbow, and I would love something to include all three of my babies!
ReplyDeleteI would love one of these. Right now I think a simple "I will NOT forget you" would be just perfect. Thank you so much for pulling this all together. perhaps next year I will do and official giveaway as part of this. (I did do an unofficial one on my blog ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am so sad that we're at the end of the 25 days! I woke up excited every morning over the past 25 days eager to meet new bloggers and enter the giveaways! I can't believe how many new people I have met because of this. I really enjoyed hosting a day too. I hope we can continue this tradition next year!
ReplyDeleteI love your jewelry! I'm going to have to think about what kind of design I would like if I won, but I would be happy to have any of the beautiful necklaces you've made. You're really talented :)
first i want to thank you for hosting these giveaways, putting all of this together was so wonderful! i would love to have a piece of jewelry to remind me of xavier. i have no idea what would really make me think of him other than when i was pregnant with him 'glory' jumped out at me. i don't remember a lot of sermons, but i know that while pregnant with xavier when the pastor said glory i would be stuck on it for days. the same thing with songs. anyway, beautiful christmas card - it's a lovely picture of your family and i love how you included the girls!
ReplyDeleteYour jewelry is all so beautiful. I would want something with my twins names on it and if possible, my step-children and rainbow on the way too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your work on hosting this giveaway and touching so many this holiday season!
I would love something with both of my children's names on it.
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the last 25 days, and for making all of this possible!!! If I won, I would love something angel-themed. Maybe an angel wing with Dylan's name on it, or something with "I held an angel" on it! Thank you so much for your generosity, may you have a blessed and Merry Christmas!!!
Kat @ In Dylan's Memory
I have so enjoyed these giveaways this month, and especially getting to know some other babyloss moms. It's been a hard month, but a new post to read has been a bright spot each day. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWe call our babies our little ones. We haven't named them and don't really celebrate their birthdays, but they will always be my little ones. I'd love something with those words. Your pieces are so delicate and pretty, and I'd love to have one.
Tina I cannot Thank you enough for hosting this again...it has put a smile on my face every day and I have really needed it.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting something that include both Mr. K and I, The Girls and a Rainbow baby...and well something that can grow as our family does.
Thank you Tina for organizing 25 days of grace and beauty. It has been true blessing in a very dark time.
ReplyDeleteThe piece I would ask for would have Cullen's name, and if possible two tiny birds to symbolize the two souls I lost before him. Always together, always missed.....
Hi Tina, thank you for hosting the giveaways! I'm so glad I didn't miss yours, I wasn't on my computer yesterday. I love your jewelry. If I were to win, I'm not sure what I'd choose. All of your necklaces are so cool. Maybe Aiden's name with the word Hope or Love. I love your designs.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, and I am grateful to have found a place where I don't feel so alone. Thank you for all that you do. I am not sure if it's too late for an entry, but either way, thank you for your big heart and thinking of all of our children.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to tell you again how amazingly wonderful I think you are... and how much i LOVE Sebastion's ultrasound canvas:) I think your jewerly is incredible and plan to order something from you in the future:) Thank you again for devoting so much of your time and energy to help make the holidays more cheerful for so many!
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you so much for hosting these giveaways! It's been really fun and I met a lot of new people too. :) If I were to win, I would want something with Alexandra's name on it and a butterfly. XO
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting these giveaways Tina--it is an awesome thing and takes time I know.....
ReplyDeletelove your jewelry as always!
hugs,
christy
I would love to have a piece that incorporates butterflies and something like "Fly Little Wing" from the Celine Dion song Fly. Those things symbolize Sydney to me.
ReplyDeleteOooh don't make me chose, these are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU so much for putting together this amazing month of kindness.
xo
I would love to win this giveaway! I love the "I carry you in my heart" necklace I also love the saying "A little life, not a little loss" and "A person's a person no matter how small" and "So little, so loved". I'm a lover of quotes for sure. Thanks for the giveaway, crossing my fingers that I win!! <3 Happy for whoever does though :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I wish i would have gotten a tree from Carly! I didnt see them until it was too late :( Merry Christmas to you too! <3
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family! Thank you so much for hosting the giveaways again this year! I know we all appreciate it!!
ReplyDeleteI love the girls' sand Christmas tree. I thought about getting one after the fact. On my to do list next year!
