prayers for grandma

To all my crafting friends,

I  just wanted to check in with all of you and say great job on all of your resent posts. All of you have been so creative with your projects.
Well since I've been gone there has been a lot going on in my life.Some good and some bad:( As for the good my high school sweetheart and I finally decided to get married(after 17 years of dating) so all the excitement that comes with a wedding is surly taking up some of my time. Like most of you its summer break so I have my three kids home with me all day constantly asking what fun activity is next. I've been trying to keep up with some crafting but it is super hard. Even though I haven't done anything just for fun I have had a few family occasions that I made party favors,invitations,cards etc. for. So that covers my good things.
Now on to my bad things as you may know in April my great uncle past away after a long battle with cancer. Not only a few weeks after that my grandmother who raised me as a child found out during a routine gallbladder surgery that she to has stage four cancer. The Dr. gave her 6 months to live. This was so sudden and surprising to everyone that it just crushed us. Now not even 3 months into her battle things have progressed severely and she is very sick now. I as well as my family are trying to spend as much time with her as we can. we are her around the clock doctors trying to make these days as nice and pain free as possible. It's to the point now that the Dr.'s have given up and only family and our prayers are keeping her alive. Please pray for her as she is quickly losing this horrible battle. Thank all of you for understanding and I will be back soon.

Hi my crafty friends,
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I had a great one. Friday was my nieces spa bday party, so I dropped my two girls off and had dinner with the two men in my life. My son and hunny. Saturday was my sons 4th birthday party. We had an awesome Avenger party!!Then Sunday my youngest daughter had a friends bday party to attend so the rest of us got to visit my grandma who lived close by. Then on Monday we all just relaxed and hung out and had a BBQ with family. For those of you who visit know that today is Tuesday challenge over at DCD... This is going to be my last DCD DT project for a little while because I am going to be taking some time to visit with my grandma who has been battling cancer for a little while now and is not doing very well. I want to spend as much time as I can with her right now. So I hope you will still stop by from time to time as I hope to post projects as often as I can. So here is my final project for a while. Hope you enjoy, thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting, Nikki

Enjoy and have fun with this week's challenge. Anything Goes!
