Philip's mama

I posted this on the open forum, but thought I should probably repost it here as well.
My son Philip died in the womb in January 2007 and after his death, I made a number of things as part of the grieving process and to remember him (as if I would forget!)
I'm writing to offer these things to any parents who might be looking for some tangible ways to remember their children. I make custom photo birth/bereavement announcements, hand-knit blankets with your child's initials, hand bound scrapbooks or accordion books or some combination of the above, all packaged beautifully. I'm offering this on a donation-basis, in part because I want to pay forward the many kindnesses given my husband and I in the wake of Philip's death and also because I know there are a lot of grieving people out there with limited means.
You can look in my etsy store for examples of my work: http://julianabibas.etsy.com (http://julianabibas.etsy.com/). You will find a bereavement style parcel in it, calling Naming the Child, which lists some of the items I'm offering. Again, these are offered as a gift to you; if you would like to give something for them, I will gladly donate the proceeds to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.
Please contact me by private message if you are interested in something like this--I will work closely with you to produce something that will remind you of your child and perhaps help in your grieving journey. I know paper crafting and knitting give me a creative outlet for my own grief, which is still with me every day.
Please pass this along to anyone who might like to have this information. I'm happy to explain more, provide pictures or just chat in private message.
