My card uses PTI's anniversary set "Everyday Classics". I love this set and am so glad that I earned it this year. My colors are Spring Moss and White from PTI and Almost Amethyst from SU. The ribbon and patterned paper are from PTI. I thought this card might be cute with stitching around the edges too. I just ran out of time this week.
It's been a rather hectic week with medical stuff at our house. We ended up at the hospital on Wed for platelets and blood for Ethan. We didn't get there until 3:00 and didn't leave until 9:30. So, we didn't pull into our drive until 12:30. It made for a long day, but they arranged a doctor's visit while we were there too so we didn't have to go back on Friday. That was nice. Ethan's really been fighting nausea, so we are trying to get that under control. Today's battle was diarhea....it's always something. He seems to have had a good day though as far as his leg pain goes. Ethan even went to school and that is the first time he has wanted to do that all week! We just take things one day at a time!
It's good for me to get back into the stamping mode. This is a hobby that definitely keeps my mind off of things. I made a baby shower gift from Lauren's From the Desk of template. I love how it turned out and I can't wait to show you. I'm submitting it for PTI's Guest Star Stamper contest this month. I haven't entered this in several months and I used to never miss a month. Hopefully you will start to see more of my "stuff", time allowing at our house. I have to make some Mother's Day cards tomorrow, so I'll share those with you at the beginning of the week. Thanks so much for stopping by. It's good to be back!

I'm so glad you were able to re-join Lauren's team so I can get to know you better, Alicia! I've been watching your blog and reading about Ethan (I have a nephew who's almost 5 by that name) and his struggle. He's such a cutie and I hope he has more good days! Congrats on the new pregnancy and welcome back!

Hi Alicia,
By now you don't know me, I am part of Lauren's DT. I read about Ethan's story at Lauren's blog two months ago, it really touched my heart, one of my baby boys is named Ethan, too :), somehow i feel connected. I made a card for Ethan, see it here: http://handmadebyodette.blogspot.com/2009/03/card-for-ethan.html
I am REALLY glad you are back and that he wants to come back to his life (school).
God bless your family always!!
Sincerely!
Odette
This is GORGEOUS!! Love everything about it!
Great to see you back creating again! I so missed the purple part of the challenge. It looked like a neutral on my screen LOL! Oh well, fabulous card and thanks for the inspiration.
It's a good life!
