Hey all,
I came across this site and thought I would share it with you, its a gorgeous gesture to receive some baby dust in the mail!
www.freebabydust.com
If you feel so inclined, do choose to donate the $1 to help keep the site running - it's a website thats been done by an Australian woman as a hobby and she is being inundated like you can't imagine!
Oh Kel thought it was for you then, was going to say your usually a fertile myrtle LMAO.
Love
Oh yay so cute. Does it pay for your tickets to a country that doesn't have a stupid law forcing a sperm donor to make their details known on a register?
Sorry but I am having a hard time of it lately :(
I'm sorry yaytoo :( *hugs*
You dont sound to happy yaytoo.... hope everything is ok....take care.
Ohhhh very cute... I think I will get me some hehe
Thanks for that
Oh Kelly thanks so much for this matie.
The first person I thought of to get some sent to them is you
Tamara.
Hi Kelly, Thanks for sending me the email on baby dust...it will help with the grief I am enduring after losing my last :angel2: on Xmas day, I felt so alone. Yatoo I understand your anguish regarding donor issue...there's a shortage of donors for that very reason. I have had to wait months on end at times to do an IVF cycle because of the lack of donors that will help. Don't give up on your baby dream though. DrumMuster ;)
DrumMuster :hug: so sorry for your losses - wish we realy could send babydust I'd send you mine.
Hey thanks Kelly, that's very sweet *hugs to you and too all the other ladies* ;)
that so cute thanks!
Thats a great idea Kelly. I have just sent some to a friend who's going through a hard time TTC. I would have loved this while I was having my fertility treatment!
So cute im getting some sent to myself hehehe.. I think Bron deserves some but i dont have her address will have to tell her about it..
I thought the email was spam. I've never seen an admin at any board ever send out such a "message."
I hope an admin will think better of sending such spam next time he/she's asked to.
Um, firstly, Kelly is not just an 'admin' she is the creator of the site and I trust any email I receive from her or the mods/admins on BB.
Anyhoo, I just ordered some for myself! :lol: Hey, I need all the help I can get!
There's so many people I would love to send this to! But same, I don't have their address and can't! :frown: It does seem a little funny ordering some for yourself, though!:

Awwww don't be a spoilsport! If I can help bring any ounce of hope or joy to those having trouble trying to conceive its worth it :) I can't see why someone wouldn't be able to see that even though I don't frequent the area myself. We ended up having a record number of people online for the rest of the day so seems the majority did want to know about it. And only one complaint.
You can remove yourself from receiving emails, as per the message said, with instructions!
I dont have the link how do I get some???
See the first post Dani_B
Hi Kel
I missed getting me some baby dust. Could you send out another email once the site is back up? Pretty please.
Thank you muchly ;)
Will do! You have to be so quick on the net don't you :)
I'm very, very glad the link was posted! Even though I feel odd about ordering some for myself (and I still have the stuff Ryn sent me), I'm going to save it and send some to my friends (RL ones, not belly belly ones) when I know they are TTC.

I ordered some for a friend as a little suprise. I told her that something was coming in the mail but didnt tell her what it was. Does anyone know how its packaged?? Will she know what it is when she gets it even though she didnt order it herself??
I have put the link back up for those who missed out. I made the decision to sponsor the woman doing it so she has help with the cost. So the BB logo will be up there on the homepage. Such a great cause :) If you can, donate the $1 for faster postage - I don't think she realised how quickly this was going to take off and I can't imagine what she is in for now :)
Thanks Kel
You're amazing!
Awww what a sweet idea!!
I can think of someone who I'd love to send it to!!
kctipton - it's hardly spam if it's free! Sheesh!
I have a few people in mind to send some to hehe!
Thanks Kelly, I'm sure there are lots of people that will enjoy receiving some babydust :D
Aww Jacinta it's not about trivialising it at all!!
I would think it's more of a physical gesture... to let that person know that you're hoping and praying that their baby dreams will come true soon. It's something tangible that you can offer people that are having trouble TTC.
It's like spreading "virtual" baby dust here on BB. When we do that it's not just to try and make the person feel better, we really mean it. We really hope and pray for them that their wish comes true soon.
Thanks Kelly for letting me know about this site. What a fantasic idea and I pray that this will work for everyone currently ttc.
I think it's a wonderful idea, thanks for letting us know about it Kelly. It's nice to know that there are still people in the world who want to do something nice for others without any strings attached.
I don't see it as being any different to sending someone booties, but this way noone has to knit! :)
Do you think the same thing for website sending cancer sufferers 'little bottles of hope'?
We need more people in the world willing to care and expect nothing in return, but everyone is going to react differently to things I guess. If there was one way to deal with grief, there would be one book, one form of support, one whatever... but there isn't.
I agree that it's a lovely thought & I am a LT TTCer myself. I agree with Deb & Kelly that's it's a gesture to show you care.
Jacinta - as a LT TTCer myself I would have loved to know that someone would have been thoughtful enough to send me such a gesture of hope. Especially if the gesture was coming from someone who'd been through the same journey, which is the case with most of these wonderful ladies thinking of passing the baby dust on.
*bump*
I just noticed this while going through some old posts & figure we have lots of new members that need some baby dust ;) All you need to do is "pay it forward" and donate $1 for postage for the next person to receive their baby dust :)
