December Daily : Day 17
Tags:
(day 17 : "holiday" from a Kate Spade mailer)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Oh man, I am really starting to get all excited. Updating some of the decor I put up earlier: making adjustments, moving things around, getting ready to have family here. I can hardly wait for all of them to get here.
Working a bit on wrapping each day so I don't end up doing it all at the last minute. I like being able to take my time. Here's a couple so far - going with a red + browns theme.
Found these bakers boxes at Shim + Sons. I like having a mixture of wrapped presents and others in simple brown boxes. Ribbon from Pottery Barn.
Red on red stripe wrapping paper at Target. Chocolate ribbon from Paper Source.
This is cool: today (Tuesday) through Thursday, December 20th Fontwerks is having a 30% off sale with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Autism Speaks. Enter "HoHoHo!" at checkout (don't forget the exclamation point).
And one more thing: could you say a little prayer for me today? I had three more abnormal moles removed this morning. Here's to hoping they are simply abnormal looking and not anything else.

I am praying for you right now--that you get that lovely, wonderful, joyful call--"BENIGN", and that you receive God's peace and comfort during the wait.

Praying! Praying! Praying!
You will be in my thoughts--know it is scary. I am actually going to have one looked at in the next few weeks--thanks to you. I come across your call for prayers for Julie Lyons and clicked over to see what that was all about. Let's just say, you and Julie Lyons lit a fire! Thank you friend! Have a Merry Christmas! Hugs to you and your entire family.

Good thoughts and warm wishes to you. I'm loving your low-stress/no fuss approach this year. And I see your creativity has benefited. Thank you for sharing the inspiring handmade crafty goodness.
I've jumped on that band wagon this year and haven't enjoyed a holiday more. If it requires even a hint of panic or a sense of rush it just gets knocked off the list. No room for that funny business this year (or any other for that matter) I don't care how cheap the Barbie's are at Costco. HA! :-)
Focus on health and those moles will have no room to grow. So that's what I wish to you ... love, warmth, and a wealth of health! You're a beautiful woman and mother. No wee moles can get in the way of your mountain-size dedication and appreciate for what you've got in life and in your work.
Peace ... and health to you!

Hmmm, I'm not the praying type of girl, but you're definitely in my thoughts... somehow I do believe in good things, and that's why I believe you will be oké... you make a difference for so many people, and do them good, so to speak, that you'll deserve a lot of goodness back!

God, please look out for Ali. Please bless her and all her loved ones each day... Today and always. Please give her happiness, joy and above all health. For I believe in prayers, I know this has been granted. Thank you.
To you Ali, don't you worry about a thing. Have a wonderful Holiday and thanks so much for sharing and giving us this gift of inspiration.

Prayers for you today Ali! Don't worry too much about the moles- once you have had one Melanoma, the doctors will remove every little freckle and spot they see. It is great that you and they are being proactive and getting them all taken off early.

Hey Ali - thinking of you - hope the moles are ok. I had my skin check last week and got the all clear. I am so amazed every time they say that, as I have so many freckles and moles over my body (all that Australian sunshine growing up!) But they keep saying they're the good moles, so fingers crossed they stay that way. Hope all goes well with you - and hope you and your family have a wonderful christmas!! xx

Don't worry Ali! I have had about 8 off since I was in my 20's. I am getting 2 more off on the 2nd of Jan as well - that are looking a bit weird - 1 on my face (my beauty spot) and one on my arm. We are all paranoid about it here in Australia let me tell ya! I am sure you will be fine.
