Liz "Sanrio" Marquez Memorial Decal Pre-Order

Liz passed away on December 16, 2014, after suffering cardiac arrest and a resulting coma 10 days earlier.

The 32 year old mother left behind 5 children and her husband, as well as her family and friends. As an active member in the babywearing and cloth diapering communities both locally and online, Liz touched many people's lives. Even after her passing, Liz SAVED lives - as an organ donor. An overwhelming number of people have donated to the family, set up other fundraisers and even donated breast milk. Several businesses are pitching in by donating merchandise for auction, wraps are being woven in Liz's honor and a memorial email address was set up for her family to read the love being poured their way in the wake of such tragedy.

In an effort to give back, a vendor (The Inhouse Graphics) has been secured (by Chelsea Spitzley) to create vinyl memorial window decals in Liz's name.

All orders will be taken in a pre-order fashion, detailed below.

After fees and shipping, all monies raised will be donated directly to Liz's family (via her GoFundMe page; either for the family or the GoFundMe page set up to fund a deep freezer for all of the donated breast milk being offered for Liz's youngest, Brixton. The funds will go where they are most needed.) *A number of FREE decals will be donated to Liz's family, as well.

*We foresee a huge demand, so please understand that while we are trying to help Liz's family, event planners are volunteers who have their own families and responsibilities. Please bear with us as we accommodate everyone to the best of our abilities.

DECAL INFORMATION

- Designed by Lyndsey Vincent, the image is made to represent LIZ. From her love of rainbows, her tattoos, her love of Hello Kitty, to the baby she wears so close to her heart, to her dimple piercings, her hair and a headband to her newly earned wings.
- 4.5" x 4.5"
- Image shown is not exact but gives an amazing representation; the lines won't be on the decals (they show where decals will be cut), the wings will be outlined in rainbow, rather than solid as shown, and memorial text will be added "In loving memory of Liz Marquez" (added how decal maker deems appropriate for production- we trust his judgment, as he is a personal friend of Chelsea).

In memory of Liz Sanrio - babywearing mom [*]

A supporter of Imps and Pixies (since it was just an idea in my head!) Liz Sanrio Marquez left this life on 16 December 2014. She was a sister and wife, mother of 5 and friend to all who crossed her path. She left behind her sister and best friend, her husband and their 5 small children, the youngest is only 4 months old.

Imps and Pixies has already started on 2 designs for 2 wraps to be woven in her honor. They will be available by pre-order and so that everyone who wants one can get one. A portion of the proceeds will go directly to her family to help her husband and sister take care of the children Liz lived for. Please share this information around the baby wearing community so that we can keep Liz's memory alive.

Sonshine's Rainbow

Sonshine's Rainbow was designed by Alena the leader of So-Cal Babywearers and Babywearing Educator for Granola Babies babywearing classes. We asked her to share the inspiration behind the name with you.

-After designing this wrap for Granola Babies I immediately knew exactly who I wanted to name this wrap after. My 5th baby demanded to be worn 24/7 and he inspired my passion for wrapping. He and I together learned this art and I can't help but think of him everytime I look at a wrap. We sing "you are my sunshine" all the time. I'll sing the first verse and he'll sing the second and so on. Well this conversation took place....

Aidan - "Mom - you're my brother"
(apparently when you have 4 brothers it gets confusing)
Me - "no, I'm your mom"
Aidan - "oh, ok, I'm your mom"
Me - "no, you're my son"
Aidan - "Oh! Like my sunshine! You are my sunshine"

and just like that - my design became Sonshine's rainbow

Fairytale

Atlas

In Greek mythology, Atlas is known for bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders. Babywearers know this feeling quite well! Our new exclusive Girasol Atlas woven wrap celebrates the honor we all share in carrying our little ones with us, wrapping our adorable burdens in a gorgeous spectrum of heavenly colors.

While seeking to name this wrap, we asked ourselves what places around the world were painted in these colors. We quickly realized that at different times of day and year, these colors are found everywhere! And the maps that connect us all are bound up in an atlas, just as we bind our babies snuggled up against us using woven wraps. Having these two wonderful metaphors in one name was too good to be true!

The Atlas will be woven in both the new cross twill (307 g/m2) and standard weave (208 g/m2) in a turquoise weft.
