no more chemo - let's celebrate with a giveaway!!!






beautiful Audrey, age six


***This giveaway is now CLOSED. Thanks so much for entering!!****

Our sweet little friend Audrey is now six years old and is in the first grade. Sounds pretty normal, until I add the fact that she has just finished TWO YEARS of treatment for leukemia! She has a clean bill of health now. I can hardly believe that it's finally over. I'll never forget when my mom called me on the phone back in July 2008 with the news that Audrey had been diagnosed with leukemia. Our hearts broke. Audrey is one of my daughter's good friends, and Audrey's mom is one of my very good friends. I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. At the time, it seemed that October 1, 2010, would NEVER get here. The end of her treatment felt so far away. But now, thanks to the thousands of prayers to a faithful God, and the capable, loving hands at Doernbecher Children's Hospital, she has completed her treatment. WOW!!

  1. This is such a wonderful message to read.
    Yeah for Audrey and her family, it must have been a very tough couple of years for them all.
    They are lucky to have the love of friends like you around them, no doubt this has brought them lots of strength.

    Thank you for the chance to enter your gorgeous giveaway, your work is beautiful and it would be a real thrill to own some of your stationary.
    If I win I will choose, contemporary cluster or elegant scrolls.

    Here's to healthy, happy days!

  11. What a hard choice!!!

    I would choose the Iris cluster for myself (in a robin's egg blue if possible) and the 3 flower cluster (in red) for my friend Melissa (who's son just had his first clean scan after fighting cancer for 2 years and who had a relapse after his first round of chemo).

    Your work is so beautiful!
