April 2013 ~ Part A

 My friend, Jenny, has a new niece who isn't so new anymore!
It took me over nine months to get this done, but I wanted to make something that she would find comfort with.

Kelly BEFORE
 Kelly AFTER
 I've been too afraid to take Anthony to any parks or playgroups for fear he'd get germs from other kids.
Since we were so close to the end of his chemo, I finally started taking Anthony out.
We went on a play date last week, and he had to much fun at the park!
 Anthony and Gabe had so much fun together!
They played with Gabe's Nerf guns, and Gabe told his mom all day later on, about his "brother, Anthony."  :)
 Last week, I was busy making Kelly's prom dress last minute!
Shawn asked her a couple months ago, but I was sick for much of that time and couldn't get the dress made earlier.
Anytime I work on a project that mentally seems daunting, I take a LOT of 5 minute breaks, and get a lot of unrelated housework done...distracting myself!
One of those 5 minute breaks was doing chalk on our front walk.
 Homemade chocolate Lucky Charms...Maggie's way.
