Well Alexa has her intrathecal chemo today. We are going to Dartmouth bright and early, since she will be put out. She always gets so sick after this type. Poor girl. I just try to think-she will only have 2 more types of this Chemo till its OVER!!!
WOW! The end is in sight.
I try not to get too excited over it, but its hard not to.
Its amazing what McDonald’s can do for kid :D. That is always her asked for Reward for being so brave. Alexa really is so amazing about all the crap she has to deal with.
I am in such awe of her.
Anyway-
That gives me 2 hours to find something to do with myself. So plenty of time for me to ย deliver a card ๐
I love images of the wise old owl! This one to me, is SOOOO cute. I am not sure WHO makes it. But, the flourish is a SAB set from Stampin Up!, as is the paper, and Rub-On’s ๐
This card I am sharing today, is being hand delivered to aย maleย nurse at Dartmouth. So I didn’t want anything too girly-although I DID use some flowers-sorry could NOT resist! I just got SU!’s felt flowers-YUMMO!
Anyway-it was pretty simple, overall.
Just wanted to share a little something. Definitely NOT my usual colors. I had no masculine nurse-type of stuff, and just went with what I felt compelled to use. I had been dying to ink the wise ole owl since I got him a few weeks ago.
Its whats INSIDE that counts right?
OK-that is it for me. It will be a LONG day/night, so pray Alexa doesn’t get too ill. She is also more susceptible to infections and whatnot after.
Thanks for checkin in with me today-
Ill be back later, when I get home to post my Dirty Challenge card ๐ Didnt have time to photo/edit/upload.
You know how it is.
Till later

I’m am SO happy to hear that she only has to go through this 2 more times!! YES! That makes my heart happy. I hope she enjoys her McDonalds, I’d say she MORE than deserves it ๐
This is a GREAT card, and I love that owl…I may have to figure out where he came from… {{{ALEXA}}} {{{LAUREN}}} hoping today will pass quickly and that Alexa doesn’t feel extra awful after her treatment.
Hoping that Alexa gets through ok and doesn’t get too sick. Hang in there and enjoy Micky Ds!!
I am sitting here in Ohio holding your precious Alexa and you in prayer. I pray that at the end of the day, Princess Alexa will not be too sick. I am grateful and thankful that she only has two of these to go – YAY! {{{BIG HUGS ALEXA AND LAUREN}}}
Keeping you and Alexa in my prayers today! I hope she really enjoys her McD’s. BTW the owl is from Hero Arts and is called Tiny Owl. Your card is just perfect and I’m sure the nurse will love it! Hang in there! ~chris
I will be praying for all of you today. ๐ What brave and strong girls you both are. You both inspire me. ๐
Hugs!
*Big Hugs and prayers*
Glad to hear you can see the light at the end of the tunnel! ๐ Alexa is such a little trooper, God bless you both!
I love the colors you used on that little owl, too cute…โฅ
I’m so glad that all of the hard stuff is almost over, what a relief! I’ll be praying for you and Alexa to stay strong and healthy.
This is a fab card, BTW!!!
My prayers are with you. What kind of chemo is that? Yes Mcdonalds does wonders I do that with Damina when we have to go to the dr, since he gets so freaked out. The wonderful world of Autism.
The card is perfect! I’ll be thinking of you both today. {{{BIG Hugs}}}
I’m so glad that it’s almost over! I will be thinking about Alexa and I hope it’s not too bad for her this time.
That is a cute little owl.
Oh, the best to you and Alexa today and the following days…I feel for you all! You are so strong and courageous, as is Alexa…what a trooper. I can’t begin to imagine what all she goes through…
I LOVE your card! And one of our sons is in nursing school now, and I think the nurse is going to appreciate it so much! Male nurses are rare, but they tend to be really great! (at least I think MY son is great!)
You all take care, and I’ll be thinking about you and Alexa…sending prayers for some good days to follow…. HUGS HUGS HUGS!
Cute card, I’m sure he’ll love it. Praying that everything goes well with Alexa, who would have thought that McDonalds would be such a blessing! Stay strong, pray hard.
I love the colors and layout. I’m loving all of the owl images lately. Gorgeous card!
Just wanted you to know that I will keep you and Alexa in my prayers today!! As always, hugs,chris
Hi Lauren –
I’m holding you and Alexa close in prayer and good thoughts today. I can’t believe she only has two more of these treatments left either. PTL
I’m so proud of her… and her mommy. Enjoy McDonalds. It sounds well deserved.
I’ll be praying that she doesn’t get too sick from this round.
Cute, cute, CUTE little owl card. I love it! Looking forward to seeing your Dirty creations later. HUGS to you and Alexa. Talk to you later!
Love and hugs,
Renee
Tell Alexa were all pulling for her quick recovery from treatment. It’s always so hard to see someone we love stuggling and not being able to fix it. Were praying for contiued strength for ya’ll..
Blessings,
Michelle
My thoughts and prayers are with you and Alexa today! I know how proud you must be of her…seems that the “BEST” of the “BEST” have to go through so much. Your a wonderful mom…wonder???? How many times has Lauren been told that :}
I’ll leave one comment for lack of time saying the last several cards are just jaw-droppingly gorgeous and inspiring!(especially lovin on the caged bird!!) Hugs and perayers go out to you today, hope it goes as well as it possibly can.
Praying for Alexa that she will not be so sick this time.
I know what it is like to be the parent and have your child have to go through this. My daughter has thyroid cancer and has had her surgery and started treatment yesterday – nothing compared to what Alexa has to deal with and dealt with already. I will keep you and her in my prayers.
Hugs
Annette
Your card is so pretty Lauren – love the colors!! I’ll pray that Alexis does well this time and recovers quickly!
You and your family are in my prayers. I just can’t imagine how difficult this must be. Thanks for keeping us posted on the happenings.
Just a quick comment regarding your creativity… well, I just love everything that you do and feel so inspired by your work. Thank you so much for your attention to details and to your time in sharing all that you do.
Hugs and prayers for Alexa and family, hoping that she feels better than usual after her treatment. Love the card, perfect for male or female, I love the little owl!
Hi Lauren….praying for Alexa today – the sweetie! Hope she doesn’t get too sick this time. Only two more after this — WHOOHOO!
Hugs Chickie! Cute little owl too!
Lauren, I hope your sweet baby is okay afterwards. It is hard when your kiddos feel bad.
And your card is cute!
You are all in my prayers! I hope she has it easy,poor girl! Lovely card lauren!!
I’m praying for you and Alexa and all of you. May God comfort you with his sweet, loving grace.
I, too, will have you all in my prayers, especially Alexa. I’m sure the male nurse will enjoy your thoughtful card.
Lauren- This comment doesn’t really have anything to do with this card, but I saw your card in Paper Crafts mag this month! I got it a week ago or so but finally had time to look at it last night! I always have fun reading all the names of those you submitted!!! Congrats!
Beautiful card, Lauren — love the colors! Alexa will be in my prayers. I’ll be praying for you, too, Mom — it has to be so difficult for you every time!!! Hugs!
Thinking good thoughts for Alexa! It’s so true about McDonald’s – Mark always asks for Micky D’s after he has a procedure! Pretty card!
I am new at your blog, having found you only recently through Papertrey, I think.
I am touched by your bravery and your daughter’s as well. I will pray for you and your family. Your cards are great and I enjoy seeing what you come up with. I hope Alexa won’t be too sick after her treatment.
BIG {{{HUGS}}} to you and Alexa. That girl must be a real trooper! Great card too. Who would’ve thought orange and GREEN could look so good together.
So cute, love that little adorable guy!
Thinking about you & your family today.
Beautiful card!! Give Alex lots of Hugs and Kisses! Hope all goes well and I will say a prayer for Alexa today. My daughter is a Pediatric Nurse, at Dallas Medical Center – she just loves the children and they always inspire her – because they are always so brave, thankful, and loving after a day that we all might take for granted. Take Care!!

Hey Lauren! I’ll be keeping you two in my thoughts and prayers! Just think … two more of these sessions to go!
My prayers go out to all of you. And your right about the card. It’s the same for people. It’s what’s inside that counts.
Yay only 2 more! She is so brave and so lucky to have you and Jason. Cute card, I think it will be appreciated even if it does have flowers on it. LOL! Hope Alexa doesn’t get too sick this time.
Big hugs to you and Alexa, I know you will both be so glad when it’s all over! That little owl is Hero Arts and I have the same one, I love what you did with it, I may just have to be a copycat on this one!
Oh Lauren, that wise old owl is perfect for the nurse, flowers and all! Prayers said for you and Alexa both. Giver her some germ free hugs from PSA Bonnie.
I am so glad to hear that the end is in sight for her. Sending{{hugs}} and prayers to you and Alexa. Thanks for sharing your story, I so enjoy reading your blog.
The card is awesome. I love the colors and the cute little design! Cool card.
that is such an awesome card.
My thoughts are with you, your family, and your very brave Alexa! I hope she comes thru this treatment with flying colours and does exceptionally well.
Tell her that I have a good friend going for 2 more chemos as well right now for lymphoma, and it seems the chemo effects are worse than anything for her, but she is persevering and we can’t wait until she is finished.
Healing, healthy blessings sent your way ๐ All the best.
Love that owl Lauren! I am so glad that you are able to see the end to the saga with Alexa! I can only imagine that you are floating around the house now! Hugs to you!
Lauren,
Great card! I love the owl, he is so cute! This must be one special nurse to receive a card like this.
[…] I got alot of emails about the little owl I used ——> HERE. This is […]
