I had a crazy day of running around.
Kids-ready for school, trip to Target, post office (my favorite place-NOT), get gas, buy my coffee-blah blah blah
I also had a parent/teacher meeting for Alexa on top of it. She is doing well, so thats good. She is loving school. I am SO happy we held her back. Great group of kids and she has confidence in herself. That is very good news.
Tomorrow Alexa has Chemo, bright and early. Eh? bad news?
The other bad news (cause is Chemo really good news? Well as long as she stays cancer free than I guess its good news-anyway).
She will have her intrathecal infusion (AKA chemo is put directly into her spine) meaning we are going to Pain Free, which is a LONG day-lots of puking and exhaustion.
Also meaning I didn’t make them (nurses and whatnot) anything yet, cause I thought pain free was DECEMBER! How did I get that wrong???
YIKES!!!
So I spent the day making MORE altered goodies!
Now thats the GOOD news-for you! You can see what I did.
More BAD news-
You all must be LOVING those chocolate covered rice crispy treats from Archer Farms I post about, cause there was only ONE container left!!!
That last part is the good news- I went into PANIC mode, then found ONE. Um, thanks to whomever left that one behind.
I was going to make a neat-o holder but then said DUH!!! The container itself is PERFECT! Why bother-you got enough to do, and need to give them every last one! It will be hard to say goodbye to those! But I am trying to be good-not doing to great BTW. But like Scarlette O’Hara always says “tomorrow is another day”.
So here is the LOVELY DELICIOUS and Oh so Fabulously decorated treat container
I just got some GORGEOUS paper by Imaginesce??? Sorry dont remember. Anyway-it has a silver flurry following the snowflakes. I had these gorgeous glitter 3D snowflake stickers (by Hot Hues- Target) for 2 years! The time had come to say goodbye.
Now that panel was done to “cover” the seams of my paper wrap job. I thought the ribbon enriched the look.
Its all very shimmery and sparkly in person.
Here is the top
The stamp set is Papertrey Ink Snowflake Serenade. PERFECT!!!!
I used my large scallop circles nestability for this topper.
Notice the tag-it has a personalized name stamp on it
Easy signing!!!
I loved the punched snowflake in the corner too.
Anyway-I guess the point is they are just gonna eat them right?
Can I at least HOPE someone will fight for the container? That would be GOOD news.
They can re-gift it!
Oh the horror of it being TRASHED. Now that is VERY BAD news
Anyway-I have some more cute stuff that I will have ready to post tonight. So check back with me OK!

Very cute! We wish Alexa the best in dealing with her treatment. I am way down here in Alabama so maybe I will be able to find some of those yummy treats at my Target.
This is a great treat jar. Good luck with the chemo.

Thinking of you and Alexa. Thanks for all your inspiration.

Hope Alexa makes out okay tomorrow! Such a long rough day it will be! Will be thinking of her! Brave little girl!
Your container is wonderful. You are making me miss Target more and more! We don’t have them in Canada(first stop when I go to the States though) and I have no idea what these goodies are you keep talking about. I’ll be sure to look for them on our trip in February…that’s if you haven’t bought them all up by then…hehe!
Big cyber hugs to you and Alexa! I hope tomorrow is a better day than you expect!
I figured you must be busy today, it was so quiet and no spiral bouquet!
I really like the touch on that tag with the snowflake, just so perfect!
Nice job on the container. The triple ribbon treatment is so cool. Give Alexa a thumbs up from me. An IV straight into the spine (at least that’s what I’m assuming based on your description of her treatment)? What a trooper!
Lauren, this is way too pretty to eat! I hope that Alexa does well with her treatments and that her cancer continues to remain in remission. God Bless!

I am one of those people out buying the rice krispy treats (thanks for that by the way…so much for being pre-baby weight
) but you can’t blame me for your store…I was thinking about what I would do with those containers (Nick is rolling his eyes at me like - “Great, one more thing to KEEP” ) this is a great idea to send for a group of people, super smart…and yes, I’m sure there will be a ‘fight’ for it, as I know when things like that come into my office, someone always wants the container.
Hoping chemo is ok today, and that Alexa will spring back super quick…HUGS for her…and you too Mommy!
I’m LOVIN’ those Ghiardelli squares boxes too…just LOVE them!
Oh Lauren, Just reading about Alexa having intrathecal injection makes me so sad. No kid should have to go through this, ever.
It never fails to amaze me how strong you are in regard of all that has happened to her. She is blessed to have a Mom like you and she is such a trooper and a wonderful little girl. (the apple didn’t fall far from the tree…)
I will keep you in my prayers especially tomorrow for a “smooth” day ♥
Try not to take the nerves out on the krispy Treats, ok…
((Hugs))
You know you are welcome at my Target anytime :^)
Everything will be fine with Alexa, we will mention both of you tonight at my church book group when we pray tonight.
Take care,
-Margie
Prayers for both you and Alexa.
