I've GOT to Have It!!!

So, I was wondering what all the buzz about Etsy was. I saw it as I browsed blogs. Yesterday, I decided to browse Etsy for personalized stuff. I want something "motherly" with Camden's name on it. As I was browsing, I came across this. Perfect. Only one problem, its $42. I'm pretty sure Jess and I WILL be sporting these by the end of the year though.



This is located at The Vintage Pearl.

There is a story that goes with this. When Grandma was battling with her cancer, after it had spread to her brain and made it like she had had a stroke, she lost most of her speech. The speech pathologist told us to have her sing to get the monotonous tone out of her voice. We would always sing "You Are My Sunshine". Now, as you could only imagine, that song has a VERY special place in the hearts of everyone in my family.

Not only would this necklace put Camden's name around my neck, it would also serve to honor my strong-willed Grandma that he never got to meet. I really wonder if babies can "talk" to angels because he sleeps with his mouth open just like Grandma Joan. If you ask him if he's sleeping like Grandma (while he's sleeping) he will just smile. It's so cute. He even did it before his "real" smiles started. One thing is for sure...Camden is my Sunshine!
