Logan is on his way back home to Ohio. I had a lot of fun with this one! It’s no secret that Corgi’s have a special place in my heart, and Logan’s mom gave such a great description of his life. He loved the pool so we went bright and blue!

The stone is a Potosky stone from Michigan lake and the little corgi ornament was on his families Christmas tree.

I hope the memorial makes his loving mom smile and brings some peace.

Thank you for looking and sharing!

Ryder was a big beautiful boy with a love of snow - so we went snow themed for him! I agonized over finding the perfect snowflakes and poured very tiny layers over two weeks to make sure we got a floating effect.

His favourite toy and bandana were also preserved forever in a secondary octagon.

Ryder is a local pup and his memorial will be back with his family very soon!

I can’t get over how beautiful his tag is!!

Thank you for your trust and allowing me to help memorialize him!

Marleys memorial is on its way back home to Delaware. Marley was a sweet little yorkie poo who loved the great outdoors, windowsills and a nap on a lap. Marley was loved by her family and is dearly missed. Thank you so much to her family for allowing me to help memorialize her ❤️

Another group of amazing lives that I have the honour of helping to memorialize - thank you so much to all of the families that have allowed me to work with them ❤️

If you don’t see your baby here, don’t worry, they will be added soon as I receive their belongings ❤️

Gail the snail has made it home to Rhode Island!

I’ve been so excited to share this one but had to wait for her to make it home.

Gail’s mom reached out to me many months ago asking some questions - she was interviewing several memorial artists to pick the best fit for her. She asked me how I felt about pets that might not be furry - which started a great conversation about reptiles and snails and other non fuzzy pets. We talked about how much a pet can mean to you and how much they can change your life, no matter what type of critter they may be.

Gail was loved beyond words and I’m so incredibly impressed by her young human. She even propagated her own basil (which is in the memorial) so that she knew it would be safe for Gail.

The flowers, rocks and leaves inside the memorial were all dried and provided to me by her mom. All of these different flowers and leaves have a special story behind them which was detailed to me in the most thoughtful letter - I’ll keep those stories private.

We wanted to keep this memorial as natural as possible, so the dark layer is made from garden soil, and green resin to represent some moss or grass.

The pin on the bottom was designed by her mom for her graduating class, and she even sent an extra one to me to keep!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Gail’s mom for trusting me - I know it was probably terrifying packing up this little tiny shell that held Gail’s entire being and trusting it to the mail. It was equally as scary for me to handle such a delicate and important little shell!! You were just amazing to work with and totally warmed my heart with every kind word. I hope you can treasure this forever.

Lily made it home to Utah and is now back with her dad ❤️

Lily’s Dad was fantastic to work with - he told me so much about his beloved Lily and I could tell that they meant the world to each other. She was a precious big girl who lit up any room she was in.

She was described as a “girly girl” so we chose a shunt and glittery pink. We included one of her hair bows that she would wear on her ears after she was groomed, her collar and her favourite lazer pointer. She loved laying in the grass more than anything, so we included some turf under her collar.

Thank you for looking and sharing and thank you to Lily’s dad for his trust in me with his special girl.

Someone is missing their space kitty! If he is yours please let me know :)

I was able to help Hopeful Hooves Equine Rescue memorialize three of their babies - Edison, Coyote and Magnus❤️ Cassandra wanted to do something special and we went back and forth on ideas and came up with these!

Each horseshoe is hand made to match a special colour (the colour that each horse looked best in, in this instance!) and I made a brass plaque with each horses name. They can be hung as pictured, or will stand upright. Braids from each horse are encased in the resin forever.

Her daughter, Isabella, wanted something a little different for her own memorial for Magnus so we chose a vinyl name instead.

These were a fun challenge and I know they will look great all together and I hope they bring some peace.

Thank you to cassandra for your trust in the design process and for going for this idea when I had nothing but a sketch to show you!

Thanks for looking and sharing ❤️

Tags always tell such a story, to me. They are usually something that is with an animal for a long time and they usually show signs of all sorts of things - how the back wears off after many many happy walks where it jingles against the city licence, etc.

For me, one of the sounds of my pets that I forever remember is the sound of their tags twinkling as they run toward me. I remember the sound of every one of them and each pet sounded different.

I made this cute little rainbow paw with Maxine’s tag for myself. Maxine was one of my fosters through ARTS senior animal rescue. We tried to save her for 8 days on my kitchen floor after her family let her down. She didn’t win her battle but she fought hard. Maxine’s tag looked like she had some fun times ❤️

Rocco made it home to Los Angeles today! Rocco’s person was an absolute dream to work with. When she started sharing his personality and quirks I immediately knew what we needed to do.

Rocco loved his water bowls. He loved them so much that he had 5, and he wouldn’t drink out of one more than once. I love adding things to memorials that make people think of those little things that you never want to forget - so that’s why I sourced out 5 different miniature metal water bowls. The 5th one is hidden in the middle of his collar and visible from the top.

I hope this makes his family smile as much as it did for me! Rocco’s remains were also put in to some paw prints with his photo in them.

Thank you to Rocco’s family your trust and kindness - and thank you for looking and sharing!

Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Ontario, New Jersey, Florida, Maine, New York, Michigan, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, California, Rhode Island, Delaware, Utah, Ohio, Arizona, England, and Germany

These are all places that I have sent a memorial to! Some of these states and provinces even have several! I am so beyond grateful for the support that my little business has received. I’ve said it before but when I said if I could make one family happy, I’d have accomplished something, I meant it.

I’ve met such amazing people and have had so many beautiful animal life stories shared with me. I’ve been able to help honour rats, bearded dragons, dogs, cats, horses, mini horses and even snails. This has been such an experience, and while it sometimes brings tears, it is so wonderful to be able to help families in their healing.

This venture was started to help me turn my grief of losing my heart dog in to something positive. My Jordan didn’t like a lot of things in this world, but I know he would have liked this. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has let me in to their lives in this way and allowing me to help you with your grief in the same way this has helped me. The gratitude I feel is overwhelming sometimes ❤️

My waiting times are now as follows, and the wait begins at the time inclusions are received:
Pyramids: 8 weeks
Octagons: 4 weeks
Heart displays: 2 weeks
Sleeping cats: 2 weeks
Paws: 2 weeks
Jewelry: 2 weeks

A sleeping kitty memorial for Hermoine is all finished ❤️ Hermoine was a lovely calico kitty who brought great joy to her family and is very missed ❤️ Hermoine’s memorial contains her hair and some flowers in complimenting colours. The resin is slightly tinted orange, black and white to match her fur.

Thank you to her mom for being so wonderful to work with, and I hope her memorial has safe travels back to Utah!

Thank you for looking and sharing ❤️

Thank you to everyone that is helping with my tag pilot! I’m slowly getting through them and if I haven’t talked details with you yet, I will soon!

First to receive his tag was the magnificent Oscar! He has long luscious ears that we all dream of, and a super sniffy snout that takes him on adventures. Now if those adventures get too wild, his tag will help him find home 😉 thanks for being a great model, Oscar!!

Ursula and Cruella’s memorial is on its way home to their momma in New York!

I love animals of all kinds, and seeing pets of all shapes and sizes honoured makes me so happy. Cruella and Ursula were very loved rats, and their favourite toy is enclosed. I took a few minutes to admire all of the bite marks and scratches before preserving them forever. Their mom chose to display two red roses in their memorial, one for each of them.

Thank you to their mom for being so lovely to work with, and for her trust with such precious items.

Thank you for looking and sharing!

Até’s memorial has made it all the way home to Tennessee!

Até’s memorial was coordinated by a good friend of her mom’s for a Christmas present. Até’s most special item was her bone, and it’s now forever safe in the memorial. Her collar was also included. Até’s signature colours were red and pink, so we chose to include some beautiful coordinated gems throughout, and some gem chips surrounding the photos (hard to see). I also sent home a paw print in her colours as well.

Até’s mom is very lucky to have a friend willing to plan something so special for her, and I hope that she has comfort when she holds this memorial.

Thank you to Até’s friend for being so wonderful to work with and for trusting me with such special items ❤️

Dalia’s memorial has made it home to Michigan!
Dalia’s mom reached out to have her little princess memorialized. Dalia loved to be spoiled, and her signature pattern was leopard print. We marched the colours and accents to her blingy leather collar and tag ❤️ we chose golds and browns, incorporated some gold leaf, gold gem chips, real freshwater pearls and even some gold chain.

I hope this memorial brings her family some peace - thank you to her family for being so lovely to work with and so patient with the delays that a major storm caused!!

I’m feeling very sad, but very honoured to be trusted with making some memorials for some of the precious babies from Hopeful Hooves ❤️ all three of these sweet horses were beautiful souls that I am so glad I got to meet and spoil with cookies. HHERS is a wonderful equine rescue and could really use some help with vet bills - please check out their 50/50 if you live in Alberta! https://www.rafflebox.ca/raffle/hhers

Well…imitation is flattery?

I’m very sad to say that someone is using my photos to make sales on their website. I am working with other people that have also been targeted - please to not purchase a memorial from “tami Norris designs” as I have no idea what will happen.

Lesson learned - I will be watermarking all of my photos going forward.

Momo made it back home to Nova Scotia today! Momo’s family was lovely to work with and his Mom told me some awesome stories about him. He loved feathers and bread ties - so those went in his memorial.

Why the crown, you ask? Well, when his Mom was telling me about him she mentioned he went by “Emperor Momo” and I literally squealed with delight when I remembered that I had the perfect crown kicking around. Fit for his royal highness!

Thank you to Momo’s family for trusting me to memorialize his majesty. It was a pleasure. Thank you for looking and sharing 🙂

Pepper is back home with her mom ❤️

Pepper’s mom is a very special lady and I was so happy to get to help her honour Pepper!

Pepper loved camping, so we went with an outdoor theme and used river rocks, sticks that I harvested from outside, some dried leaves and flowers. I mixed gold and rose gold flake to have a nice sunny day effect and included her photo, ashes and her precious purple collar.

I sent home a paw print made from ashes, too, for when her mom wants to keep her close ❤️

Thank you for your trust (and patience when the cold weather made everything cure super slow!)❤️ and as always, thank you for looking and sharing :)

Casper’s sweet little memorial package is on its ways home tomorrow!!

Casper’s mom told me such lovely stories of him. The most amazing one being that he is a rescue kitty from Mexico! He travelled all the way home with her to Canada after they met. As a rescuer, it warmed my heart. Casper lived a truly amazing life and I can tell he is missed beyond words. I hope this memorial brings his mom some peace.

Casper’s memorial includes some of his beautiful white fur, his whiskers, and his well worn tag. We also added some white flowers and real pearls as accents, and the base is blue like his beautiful eyes were.

Safe travels back home Casper! Thank you for looking and sharing ❤️

Minerva is on her way home today!

Minerva’s family was lovely to work with and told me some fun stories about her. My favourite being that she was not very good at being a criminal and would find herself locked in places that she had broken in to 🤣 hearing the stories that make people smile when they think of their late pet is my favourite thing!

Minerva’s memorials each hold one of her special toys, and some of her ashes.

Safe travel home to Texas, Minerva!❤️

Nova made it home to her family today!

Her favourite thing in the world was “carrot mouse”, and it has been preserved in her memorial forever. You can see the photo of her cuddling it on the bottom of her memorial.

She was a Calgary flames fan as you can tell by her collar, and she loved feathers. Her parents favourite colours are blue and green so we chose feathers to match.

Her family described her as a lap cat that loved to play, and she would wake them up with a pile of toys at the end of the bed - but carrot mouse was always her favourite.

Thank you to Nova’s family for their trust and for being wonderful to work with, and thank you for looking and sharing ❤️
