Welcome to Lullaby Dreams
The world's most perfect lullabies!
I have been writing lullabies for friends for nearly 50 years. This started just as a fun activity to please and delight friends. However, back in the early 2000s, I wrote two lullabies for friends who had just welcomed twin boys to their family. They absolutely loved their lullabies and suggested I make my lullabies commercially available. The result is Lullaby Dreams and I have been writing Custom Lullabies for babies all around the world ever since.
In addition to writing the lullabies, I also offer a video service, using your Custom Lullaby to create a special video – or videos – for the baby. Prior to a baby's birth, I use free-to-use images from the internet for the video lullaby. Then, if the family wishes an additional video, I make a second video using pictures of the baby and his/her parents, grandparents, siblings, family pets, etc.
It takes about 2 weeks for me to write each lullaby, and another 2 to 4 weeks to create a video (depending on which type of video you decide you want). Once I've got your song and video(s) created, I upload them to the internet and send you a download link.
So, if you are looking for a wonderful gift for a new baby, I invite you to visit my lullaby site, Lullaby Dreams, and discover the perfect gift for the new baby in your life. I tailor the lullaby to the child and his or her family making it extra special. Here are two examples of Custom Lullabies; one I did for a family in Canada and the other for a family in the USA:
A Song For Indiana
Back in 2007, Lynda and Rod (Granny and GrampaGruff) from Quebec, Canada, contacted me to write a custom lullaby for their new granddaughter, Indiana. As I talked with Rod and Lynda about the song, I had the idea to tell the story of Granny and GrampaGruff's search for the perfect Christmas gift for Indiana's First Christmas.
Of course, back then most people weren't using the internet to share music so we went "old-school." I created a CD of the song, including the CD artwork, then mailed the completed package of CD and framed sheet music to Rod and Lynda to give to Indiana on Christmas.
On Christmas morning, I got the following email from Rod and Lynda:
"The song is just wonderful and everyone is thrilled with your Song for Indiana, and couldn't stop talking about it throughout the day. The entire process of ordering the song was very well handled by you which we appreciated very much. Thank you!"
Dreamland's Come To Call
Neighbors and friends Dan & Jess had their first baby in November 2022. Early that fall, Dan and I talked about my writing and recording a surprise Video Lullaby for Jess to be "premiered" at her baby shower and, with the help of Dan's aunt, we made that happen. After getting lots of pertinent information from Dan, I wrote the lullaby, recorded it, then made a video using free-to-use images from the internet. I brought a TV and had it set up at the event hall before Jess and her guests arrived. Toward the end of the afternoon, I walked in the door and a stunned Jess asked, "What are you doing here?" Then I played the video. Here's what Jess had to say in a lovely thank you note after the shower:
"I was in complete shock when you showed up at my baby shower! I cannot thank you enough for the custom lullaby for Isla. Including Mac (their dog) in the lyrics was the icing on the cake! I know this will be talked about in our family for years. Thank you so very much."
As I mentioned above, I always send a framed copy of the sheet music to hang over the baby's crib, too. Isla's Dreamland's Come To Call music is at the top of this section. If you haven't already, click on the image to view a full size copy in a new window.
A couple of months after Isla was born, Dan sent me pictures of Isla, her family, and lots of family friends, and I created a second Video Lullaby using those pictures to create a video that I'm sure Isla will use with her children and her children's children. And I hope they will play it for their children, too!
Below is the "cartoon" video version of Dreamland's Come To Call.
