And thank you to everyone for your positive words! I read all comments and appreciate every one of them. My husband's transplant was done over the weekend and so far he is doing great. He now faces 3-4 weeks of recovery in the hospital. We continue to hope and pray for minimal side effects.

A bright spot...

On an otherwise dreary day - weatherwise and everything else - the FedEx man drops off a box for me. And inside was all the beautiful colors of my new packaging! Yay!

I will still package everything in the clear cello sleeves but will tie them off with the colors for boy or girl, cocoa/azalea/lime for a girl and cocoa/turquoise/tangerine for a boy. I am loving that chocolate brown though!

And in other business news - I finished the matching trick or treat tote bag for my little witch. And it is available personalized too! She is now ready for purchase through my Etsy shop - Alayna's Closet. What do you think? I will have more styles coming so keep your eyes peeled!

Another giveaway!!!

If you read last weeks post of *Buy something new today* then you saw a gorgeous tote bag from SewGracious. Unfortunately that bag sold soon after. But, she has a whole shop full of totes and she is giving one away on her blog right now! Head over here and enter to win one of her originally designed tote bags. This beauty could be yours.

Tell her you heard it from Alayna's Closet!

My Etsy shop...

I am looking at reopening my Etsy shop towards the end of Paul's 1st round of chemo. So I am aiming for the end of June. I will be working on new designs and also gift sets with matching wooden hangers. Keep an eye out!

The doctors say that Paul will be out of work for 8-12 months - so I will need to contribute all I can.
