One that sticks out in my head is Krystal Bockholt. She shared a beautiful story and a project she had taken on to help an organization called Tiny Tears. They make tiny diapers and buntings for tiny babies that have left this earthly life much too early. She is on a personal mission to make 365 sets! What an amazing goal! Here is a link to her Facebook page if you would like more info: https://www.facebook.com/littlerockflower
Our tip of the month was by Allison Babcock. She talked about a light box app she found on her iPad for tracing. What a great idea and much a cheaper option than a larger light box. Here is a link to her blog where she explains it more. http://babcounlimited.blogspot.com/2013/12/tuesday-tip-light-box-app.html
