On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

My Crafty Valentine

We had a fun Valentine's Day craft party this year.

Lily 'n Lacey making beauteous valentines
Lily made Lovey a valentine outfit out of one of my old sweaters

Lily and I made Homemade treats for our lucky valentines
Love rocks!! Yes, it does.

Lily's eccentric valentine gloves made from an old sweater :)
Lily and I have become super crafters!! Our new thing? Instead of donating old clothes, we have been recycling them into awesome new items. Cleaning out my closet yielded us lots of inspiration! A tunic top that I had for years because I loved the material, (but never wore because it didn't look right) became a stretchy headband with attached matching flowers and two different scarf head wraps. Another weird silk top that I bought for $ 3.00 because the fabric was amazing became the coolest matching pillows:


Instead of buying new things, we've been looking around the house for things that we can transform. One of our favorite ways to do this is by collage/ decoupage. I made this large sign for my kitchen from a piece of scrap wood, scrapbook paper and paint:

All you need is love and maybe a little imagination :)
