But first, what would a baby shower be without presents?
Open It! Open It!
My friend Michele, the founder of movingStories LLC, the creators of StoryPillows™ - is going to create a personalized, heirloom StoryPillow for Alison!
movingStories makes movies and mixed-media art infused with beauty and meaning. Their new line of StoryPillows™ combines photography, collage and fabric to tell the stories you hold close to the heart. They’re sewing things up with the help of crafty seamstress and blogger Kate Albus.
Want one? You can order your own StoryPillow™ over at movingStories!
Alison can use Scrumplet’s baby photos, his birth certificate, first footprint, ultrasound, even baby booties – anything that can fit on that pillow! movingStories will create a beautiful keepsake that will be cherished for generations to come.
Here’s a sample of one of their super-cute StoryPillows™ - this one is a teacher’s gift:
And to give Alison an idea of the kinds of mementos she can use to create Scrumplet’s StoryPillow™ here’s an example of a baby-themed pillow (this one’s not finished yet – it’s still a story-board):
CONGRATULATIONS ALISON!
Oh wow, what a wonderful gift, Ado!!! I don’t even have the words to thank you. You’ve been such a wonderful friend to me. My heart is bursting.
Thank you Story Pillow, I look forward to creating this special keepsake!
And thank you Erica and Stasha, for co-hosting. Love you all. xoxo

I cant wait to see the baby pic’s..Im so excited for you..Hope you enjoy this day..Thanks for sharing..
Thanks Laura!
[...] The first prompt, from Ado at The Momalog, is to post a favorite baby picture with a motherhood quote. With seven of the most beautiful babies in the world to choose from, this could have been pretty darn difficult. So we made the executive decision that since Eddie is the baby of our bunch, his pic wins. This is our little bouncing ball of joy. [...]
THANK YOU ELLEN!!!

Thanks for being such a fabulous hostess, Ado. This was great to participate in…took me back a few years. There is just nothing better than taking time to celebrate babies.
Grateful to know you. <3
