***CONGRATULATIONS, Stacey Moore!!!***
She's had a streak of winning (All Because Two People Fell in Love)…
I suggest she buy some lottery tickets ASAP!
her comment: what a cute site!! i would get one done with pictures of my little loves!! thanks so much!!
I'm not the world's most sentimental person. Sure, I love my kids and like to have mementos of them, but most keepsake jewelry is kind of… mommy. And not in a good way. Roo and Jasper will probably grow up feeling neglected because their mom just isn't going to wear 3" buttons emblazoned with their photos. Sorry, kids. Grandma's not about to sacrifice her bling for a cutesy photo sweatshirt, either. I know, we must not love them enough. Poor babies.
Luckily, I stumbled across the coolest baby memento I've seen in a while– BabyFaces custom jewelry. They transform your favorite photo into a charm in sterling silver or 14K white or yellow gold, perfect to wear as a solitaire or to add to your charm bracelet. I've collected vintage charms and charm bracelets for years now, so BabyFaces seemed like a great way to show off my maternal pride. I emailed my photos in (you can also use the upload option on their order form or mail a hard copy) and in a week or so I had these tiny effigies of my childrens' smiling faces:
They turned out even better than I had hoped! Even my husband was impressed and suggested we get them made annually, so I can have a charm bracelet to keep me company when the kids grow up and fly the coop… so much better than a schoolhouse frame on the wall, in my opinion. I love being able to wear my kids without sacrificing my own sense of style. I have a sick desire to get BabyFaces of me and Bob, to put on our cats' collars instead of normal tags. Which reminds me, how adorable are the BabyFaces Pets charms?
I would love to have a kitty charm bracelet, featuring the ones still with us and their fallen comrades. Although that would add up quicker than I can count, so I'll stick to the kids for now. The website has great pictures of charms made from pictures of pet dogs and horses, too.
BabyFaces offers two sizes: standard (about the size of a quarter) and jr (about the size of a dime) and both are available as a traditional pendant with chain or with a swivel lobster claw clasp. (I chose the clasp so I could move the charms around until they find their perfect place. ) All are available in sterling and 14K white and yellow gold, with prices starting at just $69 for the silver jr clasp version. There is also a new option, the BabyFaces Duet, which features two faces (babies, couples, critters…) and would be an awfully thoughtful gift for your Valentine, stateside or deployed…
To enter and win a BabyFaces custom sterling silver photo charm in jr size (a $69 value), please comment on this post and let me know who you would immortalize in precious metal!
Entries will be accepted through February 17th and I'll pick the winner using Random.org. US readers only. Only one entry/comment per person, please.
Make sure you leave an email address in your comment or that you have one accessible on your blog so you can be contacted if you win!

Okay, WOW. This is awesome. I would definitely have my baby girl immortalized this way. :)
So hard to choose on kid over the other..lol. I think I would pick our daughter, then we can just tell the baby that we got it before he was born...haha. Anyway, I think my husband would love to have a little keepsake like this with him all the time, as he's away from home most of the time with work and he's always missing the kids so, so much.
I'd love my baby girl's sweet face etched into white gold. And I'm with you on the schoolhouse frames. My MIL has one for each of her five kids displayed proudly in her front room. Not my style.
my younger daughter...but then I'd have to get another myself so
I could wear her older sister too!
I think I'll immortalize my daughter, Anna. I think that this will be a lot less painful than a tattoo! ;D
sarahmarie[dot]pemberton[at]gmail[dot]com
I would immortalize my daughter without a doubt. I agree with you on the personal style and not wanting to move about the world wearing giant buttons of her in a soccer uniform! I think that I might even opt to upgrade this if that is possible and pay the difference to have one with my daughter and husband on it. That would be my most valued keepsake.
my youngest daughter Princess G
Of course I would have my daughter! SO beautiful!
Oh no doubt-my 3 1/2 yr old who is going on 16!!
Ok, that would be hard for me to choose, because I can't have ONE kid, and not the others, and I can't afford SIX more, lol. I'd probably get my hubby so he can see that I wear him with love.
Oh, I "heart" these BIG TIME! I would defintely immortalize my little man...He's growing way t oo fast on me! How neat it would be to have him with me always!
sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com
I would immortalize my son of course-he is adorable at 6 yrs old. healing03mom@yahoo.com
What a cool idea! I would definitely have a charm made of my precious son. Getting a new one annually for a charm bracelet is a great idea!
maggie(dot)ladd(at)gmail(dot)com
What good looking charms. No doubt about it, my two sons would be on mine! Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks very much.....Cindi
jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com
I'm not sure, It's to hard to decide, If i win i guess i would have to make a decision.
I would definitely have to make one of my two children. They are the light of my life.
Oh my gosh! How amazing! I would love to have one made of my Coppergirl. I miss her so much. :(
All of my girls. They are just growing up way to fast!
i would choose my tiny little twins!!
If I could put the $69 towards a duet, I would do both of my boys! If not then I'd do my newborn because I already have a different kind of charm of my oldest when he was a baby!
These are fabulous!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
I would love to have Breas done. Crossing my fingers.
Oh man! This would be a toss up for me! I have 2 boys but I guess I would have to choose my oldest
Definitely my son. He is our one and only. I'm thinking Gma is going to need the bracelet for mothers day with one of each of the grandchildren.
This one is pretty easy, I would do one of my husband and two girls!! thanks...
stbaisch AT yahoo DOT com
how cool i would get my daughters face immortalized in metal.
it would be our 2 yr old son we just adopted from foster care!
These are so cute and what a great idea to have one made every year you would have a great reminder of how they change year to year. I had a hard time deciding which son to choose. I decided on my 3 month old my little miracle baby born 10 weeks early and weighing in at 2lbs 4 ozs. Then I would just get one of my 8 year old and one of them together. Here is my Christmas list till they turn 18 LOL
That is so awesome! Thank you for telling us about it. uke9000@gmail.com
Do you think they could do feet? I would love to do my two kids feet! Or hands! If they can do cats they have to be able to do feet or hands!!
This is so cool... I would have one made with my daughter's face on it, also I think your idea of the couple's face would be awesome for the next time my husband is deployed.
saddeyezz at yahoo dot com
this is so neat. thanks for the heads up!
DH and my son together.
jbubolz-miller@hotmail.com
WOw. pretty cool! wondering what pic I would use of my daughter...
Most definately my son! This charms are so adorable.
princessbubbles_18@yahoo.com
These are great, I would want to have one done of my kids. vickers@insightbb.com
I would get one of my daughter. I love showing her off to everyone and this would be great to be able to have her 'with' me at work besides just the photos on my desk.
I'd get my baby girl on mine. She's so beautiful and I'd love to have this as a keepsake as well.
definitely my daughter!
This is really neat! I think I would have my daughter made into a charm :) khmorgan_00@yahoo.com
I'd have to do myself...and give it to my husband. Just to let all those women out there know that he's taken! Even though the wedding band kinda gives it away...
I'd get one of my sister and I so we'd be together no matter where we were!
Wow, these are great! i would definitely have one made of my daughter!
I would have one made up of my husband. He travels alot and the girls and I miss him. We could all take turns wearing him around to keep him close to our hearts!
I know the perfect picture of my youngest son. I would have to get another one of my oldest too though. Can't play favorites!
With four kids, trying to figure out which one would be hard...so I am going to have to go with our dog (b/c the whole family is in love with her and I'll be fighting with my girls over the charm anyway!)
My husband is in Iraq and we have a 4 month old son. I would get the charm of my son and send it to my husband. I know that he would love having it and having his son so close to him.
I love the ones of your kiddos, just perfect!
I would want those of all three, and maybe the dog too :) I guess if I'd have to pick one, it would be my oldest daughter to go first. I would love love love to win this one!
No doubt I'd have my daughter's face charmed...
Thanks!
hianded[at]earthlink[dot]net
We are expecting, so I would have anew little one's baby face immortalized:)
I'd probably immortalize my youngest son, just because he gives me the most opportunity for great photos. :D
Oh my goodness, I love this. I would get this done with my son's beautiful face!
It would have to be my 2 year old son, Maximus. What a great gift this would make for grandmas birthday!
who else but my dd who just turned 1!
my three babies of course!
definately our dd
mom2maria at hotmail dot com
It would have to be my daughter as a tiny baby!
I would immortalize my two kids and give it to my mom because I too am not sentimental.
what a cute site!! i would get one done with pictures of my little loves!! thanks so much!!
This is VERY cool. I'd have an Elli charm made...definitely...did I spell that right? I never know.
jessie2147(at)gmail(dot)com
My daughter, of course!
Definitely my dad, who lost his battle with cancer in 2006! I'd love to win, so please count me in. Should I win, my email address is on my blog profile. Thanks! Have a great weekend!
Jennifer :-)
This is very cool! Definitely my nephew! It would be a great surprise for his Mom for Mother's Day!
What a great idea! But if I won a charm, I would feel obligated to purchase two more (for my other kids). And considering I don't have $140 to spend on charms, I might have to immortalize the cat!
Oh, these are neat! I would get one of my little girl, she is 5.5 months now. Thanks so much for the great giveaway!
katie at dekabyte dot com
I think I would choose my maternal grandmother. Her death was really hard on me and my daughters, particularly my 5 year old. She was 98 and died a few months ago.
THESE ARE SO fantastic!!! I realy hope I win, what a great giveaway!
How neat. The Mrs. would love a Bear & Mouse charm - i'm sure. Thanks!
I would definately choose my 2 boys. What a great idea!
fourblackmans@msn.com
I have a charm of my son (not his face), so it would be my daughter that I would pick. What a neat idea!
i would put my kids on this chain for sure :)
What a really cool idea! I'd charm my boys, of course!
I'm not in the US, (canada) but I have a US address, I hope that counts!
thanks!
Our five-month old son is a result of a precious gift . . . he was an adopted embryo made available by the most wonderful couple in the world. I would love to give the bio mom a charm of our miracle baby's face!
These are great, enter me please..
I would select one of my boys . . . unless I could do a duet with the money toward it.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
ooohhh! I love this. it is a bit cheesy but I would love to have one of my daughter when she was a little younger and would let me put her hair up in pigtails...I already miss that stage!
laura.mcmullan@gmail.com
www.ohbabybuyproducts.blogspot.com
I would use my adorable twin girls! I agree this is a cool idea!
Id have to choose between one of the boys...mmm..if I won then I would definitly have to order a charm for the other two.
I have a charm of a picture of Isaac as a baby, so I would love to get one of these of Adam to go with it! This is so lovely; thanks for sharing!
I'd definitely pick my son! :)
andraya3 at yahoo dot com
The duet would be perfect for my twins, but since the contest is for one immortalized face, I'd have to decide which baby is my favorite. I'll have to get back to you on that one :)
I think I would put my youngest dauqhter on it. I have pictures on a necklace of my others, but not the baby. Thanks
rachelwillis75@hotmail.com
This would be such a wonderful way for me to always have my son with me. I lost him to sids two years ago and everything I've seen just seems crass or twee. This I could wear and keep close to my heart.
This is the best thing since sliced bread
I would get all 5 of my beautiful grandkids! What a lovely way to show them off !
I would put my grandson on it.
I lost my Yorkshire Terrier "Chelsea" in July of last year, this would make an awesome momento.
This is really neat. I'd hvae my niece done that is no longer with us due to cancer and then I'd give it to my sister.
Both my sons. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. This is such a wonderful idea. Thanks.
my beautiful daughter!
This is so cool. My cat Stinker.
cute charms - I'd put my grandson's picture on it
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
I would immortalize my son and my daughter! such a cute idea.
this is a neat idea I would pick my daughter shes the only child I have right now so it wouldnt be that hard to choose
chickeedee_2002(at)yahoo.com
Very cool. I would do my two boys.
I'd love one of these with my two kids! If I win one that's for a single face, I'd choose my 15 month old daughter since I have an engraved necklace showing just my son. These are great charms! Thanks for the contest.
I would love to have one of these of my daughter. I have the best picture for this too - it's on my desktop right now. Thanks for the giveaway!
ok i have 5 kids so if i couldnt get 5 of these then I'd have to do it of our horse!
My mom
The little girl I care for.
I would let my niece Erin immortalize her daughter Edea.
Couldn't pick just one kid so it might have to be their Dad.
I would love to make one with my daughters picture.
cme8397@yahoo.com
How touching actually... I'd love one of these from a pic of me and my nephew. Please enter me.
I would have to do my Daddy's because I miss him so much. He was killed in a coal mining accident in Sept. so I want anything that will help me be closer to him.
me
I would put my daughter on it
What a genius idea! I'd get one with my daughter's face.
partymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com
My guinea pigs are my life, so no doubt about it, I'd have my guinea pig made into a charm (I don't have human kids, just furkids.)
I have three kids so I'd have to get one of my cat :)
soounds a bit weird but my dog
My sweet boys!
vboackle@aol.com,my newest grandchild would make an adorable charm.
It would be a hard choice between one of my two so I would take the one I won and buy one for the other. Thanks
How neat! I would immortalize my grandaughter Stephanie.
How cute...I would have my boys on mine
I would immortalize Elvis.
My son. He has the cutest picture taken when he was young.
I'd want the multiples bling - that would be right down my lane. Love this - I'm going to check this out for future gifts. Too late for Valentine's Day (it's only two days away), but birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, so many choices. Thank you! dmj53(at)hotmail(dot)com
I would love to put my two boys on one to wear always

my 4 beautiful grandchildren
My two boys
my niece...for her mommy
This is one of the coolest things I've seen! I would do it of my daughter!
mogrill@comcast.net
What an incredible site - this is sooo much better than the charms with the birthstones.
I think I would need to do several
but the first would be of my husband. He is a desert storm veteran and we are currently apart so this would be a sweet way to bridge the miles.
Thank you for introducing a unique website and for sponsoring such a memorable contest.
Kathleen
kathbratsweeps@aol.com
It would be my son's face, who was killed in a car accident. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him and miss him.
my daughter
my wife
my nephew, Charlie
k4seger(at)hotmail(dot)com
That's a tough one. Either our 3-year-old daughter or our 7-month old son. I guess we'll just have to buy and extra one!!
My kids together. aewalls425@hotmail.com
I'd love to have a charm of my sweet boy Billy!
my mother
For me, it would have to be my husband. He passed away 8 years ago--this way I could keep him truly close to my heart. Thank you for the contest!
My granddaughter.
My mother and father.
Thrillhill@aol.com
My Greyhiund Pete!
wow, these are beautiful. I would wither pick one of my husband and myself or one of my grandmother.
My son!
definitly my son
I would use one of our favorite pictures of our son! What a great way this is to remember his little face when the years have passed. Thanks so much!
This is totally awesome! I would definitely choose my son! So even if he wasn't with me, he would still be with me!
This is totally awesome! :)
Good Luck to me!
It would be my sons especially my son who will soon be deploying
I would have my son's picture done.
Then I would have to buy ones featuring my two pekingese, Willy and Schmoo and my dear fat old cat Trouble.
Oh...and eventually one of each of my teenaged boys!m So many cahrms so little time.
vboppell@hotmail.com
My nieces..too cute!
The joy of my life, my son.....
My daughter and her daddy~~~ Yeah, I hope I win.
These are so cute--I would have to get all three of my girls together. deanna@count.com
I would LOVE to win this giveaway!
It is hard to choose - all six of my kids would look adorable as a charm but I would have to go with my oldest, the only girl. Everything in our house is always about 'the baby' and she hasn't been the baby in a long time. She is so gracious about it all that I would LOVE to get her baby face on a charm.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I would love to win this for my mom... she loves her little dog so much she would cherish this forever.
great giveaway!
that's a no-brainer. i would have my baby boy immortalized in the charm! they are precious. thanks for the giveaway.
I think I would put "Grammy" on a pendant. Both boys would love to carry her around with them everywhere!
My daughter's first baby picture...she's already so much bigger!
My sweet son for sure!
I would give this to my aunt so she could have a pendant of her husband who passed away two years ago.
I would love a picture of me and my husband in the metal - thank you
my sweet son jordan :)
klp1965@verizon.net

I would immortalize one of my daughter then purchase another one of my other daughter to go with it as a gift for my wife.
I think it would be so sweet to do this for myself and my hubby.

I would have to choose my 16 month old daughter...and my 2 month old daughter too. These are so unique!
vincemil@swbell.net
i'd choose my boyfriend
I'd probably get a picture of mewhen i was like 5 and super cute and give it to my mom.
I would get my baby or my dog winnie!
Adorable. I would immortalize my daughter...singing!
You know, I'd get our dog. Zoey's turned 12 this year, and I love her to death (no other dog will be the same!) so this would be nice to always have down the road.
My "baby" just turned 13. A teenager!!! He's my one and only! Would love to have him "frozen" in time as he continutes to grow and get ready to go off to highschool. I love him as a young man but he'll ALWAYS be my baby.....
I would do a picture of my cousin and his wife together because he is currently deployed in Iraq so I would give it to her as a gift.
Great idea ! I'd have a hard time deciding between my daughter and my son, so I'd go for my daughter and buy one for my son and one for the soon to be 3rd born child !
miniloulous(at)yahoo(dot)com
I would immortalize our dog Sam. It might seem kind of silly but for so many years Sam was my dad's "sight" when he lost his own due to Macular Degeneration. Sam made my dad feel less helpless and was always there for my dad when he needed a friend so badly and did not want to ask anyone for help. Today Sam lives with us and having him immortalized would be like having my dad always close by and the friend who helped him truly live again.
Thanks - fun! I would get one of my grandfather who passed away last year at the age of 98. I would give it to my grandmother to wear.
my 2 kids! what a neat idea!
i'd get my dog Ziggy made into a key chain, i love this giveaway!
My precious beautiful daughter!
I agree that this is so much cooler than the sweatshirts and tote bags with the giant photos on them.
These charms can actually become a family heirloom someday.
What an awesome and unexpected way to tastefully immortalize a loved one.
I would definitely want a charm made of my 9 year old, so I can remeber her at this cute age forever.
That'll be comforting when she's 16 and demanding the car keys and steals all my combat boots and leather jackets.
tonylethal@aol.com
I would immortalize my grandmother Dorothy. She passed away on Mothers Day at the age of 97. I miss her so much. She raised me.
Would have to be my dog and kityy-thsy are my babies
Woul be my son.These are great!
Britney Spears!
with my hectic lifestyle momagenda would be my choice
Bill Clinton, so the world wouldn't have to listen to him anymore.
I would love one of my puppy. :-)
My granddaughter
I would immortalize my granddaughter Lily. She is the pride of my life right now.
I would do my son! I think this is so unique.
I would love one of these charms made of my darling daughter. She is a true gift from God, that I would love to have one of these made from many stages in her life. What a wonderful charm bracelet that would make! What an awesome product.
I would chose my little guy
I would chose my son Kai.
AngieK tisaynababae@yahoo.com
This is hard for me because I have a large family with lots of kids. I would probably choose my baby, or choose a group of two or three kids relating to a special situation, like a violin recital.
Oh, this sounds charming! I would immortalize my daughter. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway.
My middle daughter has such an expressive face. She is a born actress with all the lead roles in school plays since kindergarten.
My son...good luck!
I would choose my son. Although once my next child is born in July I would have to get her as well. These would make great gifts for Grandma (jlynnc76@yahoo.com)
I would love one for both my son and my daughter.
I would need one of all 4 of my kids! If I had to pick one, I'd probably pick one for a friend as a gift.
Love this, my husband leaves for Afghanistan soon and I would love to get this for him and our children.
My two granddaughters rosans4@insightbb.com
