About the custom design keepsakes for her and her mom, made with the old raincoat they both wore in their 20s.
“I immediately opened the package and couldn't believe how amazingly beautiful the keepsake turned out! Your ability to design the keepsakes in a way that includes all of the perfect little details is extraordinary. All along I had been thinking about the little star that was a part of the coat zipper. It took me a minute to realize you had included it in the keepsake and I couldn't be happier. I cannot thank you enough for not steering me away from the fashion keepsake when I was hesitant. It is everything I envisioned and then so much more."

Later shared on Instagram:
"I sent her Callie’s dress and she used it to create a beautiful picture of Callie. This is what she imagines Callie looking like when she is older from pictures I sent her. It’s absolutely beautiful and such a treasure to have. It feels a little like making beauty from ashes, as this dress is so painful as it’s the last outfit she wore, but I’m thankful @pokidots created something beautiful from it. A big thank you to Louma from @pokidotswho was incredibly generous, sensitive, and professional. Check out her site to create your own baby keepsake or gift it to someone 💗"
— Tracy C., Spring, TX.
About the angel keepsake made with her daughter’s dress.
"I saw these keepsakes before my baby was born and I knew I had to order one. I was torn on what to send and it took me 4 months to decide because I did not want to let anything of his go. Once I decided on the perfect outfit, I felt great because I can display an artistic version of it and not just store the outfit to collect dust. I cannot wait to order another keepsake for my next baby. Thank you Pokidots for the beautiful artwork and the amount of love and care you put into it. It shows."
— Victoria C., Grand Junction, CO.

About the fashion keepsake with custom illustration, made with her daughter’s first birthday dress.
"Seeing Yasma's keepsake made with first birthday dress hung on the wall was such an emotional moment for me. [Grandma talking about the keepsake reviewed above :)]
What a wonderful idea! I immediately wanted to have my own keepsake made with my grand-daughter's first Christmas dress, and I requested it with a hat. I will never forget Louma's smile when I handed her the dress. I felt that she understood how much this dress meant to me, and a couple of days later she gave me the most precious work of art that I own. THANK YOU Louma."

About the heart keepsake made with her daughter’s baby onesie, showcasing her dad’s favorite band.
"Louma is an amazing artist and I've always admired her work, passion, and dedication. I'm in love with Zuri's keepsake and I'm lucky to have won this piece. I'm obsessed with big hair so this keepsake is a great piece for my baby and I and is a good reminder of my baby Zuri when she was so little and I was so excited to dress her up. Having won this piece makes me want to get another one! I'm looking for another outfit that brings back memories of my chubby baby. Thank you so much for this sophisticated piece to hang in my little girl's room.

"Louma, thank you for Mark's keepsake... It brought tears to my eyes ❤️ I knew it would be wonderfully made but it was so so much better than I expected! The details, the perfection, the presentation in the frame and the frame itself are amazing!! I love everything about it and wouldn't change a thing 😊!"

About the sailboat keepsake made with her son’s baby outfit. (She then followed with a sibling bundle for her older girls (below).
"These are my three kids keepsakes. They are such unique, wonderfully made pieces of art, I had to display them in our living room for everyone, us and guests, to enjoy. I loved the personalization: my girls look as I imagine them all grown up! Louma elevated the pink worn-out blanket to a new level, and letting the brown flowery dress escape the inside frame made the picture so dynamic. And the sailboat is for my little newest addition: 'my little prince.' Thank you, Louma, for your creativity and exceptional art. These will be my new baby shower gifts."
— Samar M., O’Fallon, IL.

About the fashion keepsake with custom illustration made with her daughter’s newborn hat, as a gift to grandparents.
"I'm SO in love with this new piece of art for Owen's room! My neighbor Louma is an amazingly talented illustrator and I love her idea of using pieces of clothing from the newborn stage that moms save and making something that we can hang on our walls and pass on to our kids when they have babies. I had saved a few outfits of Owen's from when he was a baby and they were stuffed in a drawer gathering dust [...]. Now it's the cutest sailboat that will adorn his bedroom wall. Thank you so much, Louma!"
