UPDATE From Last Week

Some of you already know, but I am adding it here again just in case. My mom was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer in June. She had surgery in July. They think they have removed all of the cancer but are given her aggressive chemotherapy and radiation to be certain. 

She had a bad reaction to the chemotherapy the first time and goes back this coming Thursday (Sept 10) for her second round. She has to have 6 of chemo and 3 radiation.

I mentioned last week that I wanted to use sales from the images to purchase her a wig.

I contacted a local shop and they are going to donate her one. In fact, they donate many!

The first wig is free! We go today to cut and shave her hair off and to choose a wig. 

I did use sales to purchase her a few head wraps from headwraps.com. 

She LOVES them and is really excited to have them. I will still continue to use all sale proceeds to 

help and do things for my mom, so thank you in advance for all you are doing to make this possible.

Hello Monday!

Happy Monday everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Weekend... and for some of us it is still going on today!

 (woohoo for a 3 day weekend!!!)

I created this card over the weekend. It is my first time creating a stair step card. I wish I had been a bit more creative with it :D it is sort of plain, but still 'works'. I can picture butterflies peeking / springing out from the stair step behind the main image :)  Maybe Next time.

This card was created using the Fresh Brewed Designs Rubber Stamp E(spresso) Mail.

Getting Knitty With It!

 It is getting cooler outside (some days, lol! it is actually rainy and in the 60s here today).  We are all getting out our scarves and hats and warm  gloves to wear with our stylish winter ensembles. I am lucky because my mom crochets and my sister knits so I always have a fun variety of cool things to wear :D

This stamp is perfect for days like this: 

Knit Me Pretty!
