Hi everyone. I usually don't step out and ask for prayer for myself or someone else too often, but today I feel the need to do so. I know the power of prayer CAN and DOES work magic. So, please, if you will, take a moment each day to think of this family it would mean the world to me and them.
Niki is a very talented scrapbooker and online scrappy friend of mine and several other ladies that I know. Her precious 4 year old daughter Ellie was just diagnosed with a brain tumor with only a 10% survival rate on April 29th. She spent three days in the hospital with Pat and Niki while meeting with several specialists in preparation for radiation treatments to start this week – Today I believe.
Did I mention Niki is pregnant and is scheduled for a C-Section on the 27th of this month?
Technical terms for what little Ellie is facing from what I have gathered is a Diffusely Infiltrative Brain Stem Glioma.
Here is a link that I found that tells a little more in depth about it:

We are all just heartbroken at what the family is facing and I would love if we could join as a group and send prayers and positive thoughts to Niki, Ellie and the family!!!
You can check out her website - NO money is being asked for at all – just leave a quick note in the guestbook showing the power of love and prayer is all that I’m asking!!!

If anyone would like to show their support to Ellie and her family it would be great - they need all the prayers they can get right now.
Thanks for your time everyone – most of us have children or nieces/nephews and would love the prayers and support if we were in their shoes.

Just to cover all bases...................
I am not the best scrapper out there. I don't claim to be totally original, I lift from many places and in many forms from color combinations, to product usage, to technique and so forth. I try to be fair to all scrappers out there and mention them when I lift from them - now keep in mind, there are so many people out there scrapping, card making and altering items that naturally more than one person will have similar ideas. When I mention lifting, or casing as some call it, I mean when you intentionally take a design you see and duplicate it exactly or only change up the coloring........KWIM???
