Relics of Motherhood: First "Reliquary" in Progress

This is the first "reliquary" I've started. It's still in progress. I picked up some old maternity books from a free book "store" and I've rubbed out the text on two facing pages. On the left, I've written the text from the first response I received. On the right, I've cut a recess into the pages. Within that is a "relic" I made to go with the story. I'm working from examples of illuminated manuscripts to paint decorations around the text and the recess.

I'd like to have this book and 4-5 more completed by the next time my class meets (Monday, October 25th). However, I can't do that without more stories. If you or someone you know has a story to contribute, please post it in the comments section below this post this week. Thank you again for you help.
