Remembering Layla Grace

2010-03-09T13:36:00.000-08:00

Layla grace marsh died today. All of us are completley heartbroken. But, now she is in peace, she is whole again, and in the arms of god. She has done so much to impact this world and brought so many of us together as a family, Her word and fight will live on, and maybe by sparing her life, she will help save others by finding a cure! Prayers for her family mother father and beautiful sisters. You are amazing and strong people, please be in peace and i pray that your suffering be peaceful. There are so many other kids with cancer,laylas blog has raised so much awareness, let this be just the start of the journey for a cure.

I am going to spend this day, with my sweet baby girl, she is so sweet, she saw me crying and she started crying she came over and kissed me and started patting me on the back.

New auctions!

2010-03-05T06:37:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone!!! So here is the new blythe Miss sally rice design + matcing acessories, check it out, its on ebay now. Im thinking this is the last of the customs for awhile ...:0)

Because of Layla

2010-03-01T10:07:00.001-08:00

Ok so my auction is up to 102! For the layla tee. Man you guys are amazing! Because of all of you, wonderful people, we can help make a difference oncelayla is gone...I am only 1 person, but right after my move, im planning to do ALL i can to make laylas legacy live on.

Its so hard to write about the subject, i mean, what do you say? its heart wrenching, horrific, and just plain wrong what layla is going through, she to me..is a real life angel. She changed my life, along with so many others...everyimt i read the blog i cry my eyes out, i cry as if i know her, as if ive held her, as if ive seen that smile in person, however i havent, and its unexplainable how i feel so close to this angel, but i know its for a reason. Life sucks sometimes, my finace just lost his job, we live in a 1 bedroom because of living costs, izzy doesnt have her own room, i whine about all this stuff, i live in my sewing room to pay bills and to buy izzy things i like.

Well my problems are NOTHING in perspective, i have a healthy 2 year old, im not sick i have a roof over my head, yes things in the past have been better, life right now is difficult, but so what. Ill grow from it, it will make me stronger.

From now on, im going to give thanks for what i do have, im going to put my energy into putting a smile on izzys face every moment i have, and truelly embrassing it. Im going to continue my passion of sewing, just to have a little girl smile when she sees a fancy dress i made for her, my life is AMAZING, my life is simple and i have nothing to complain over, thank you layla for what you have made me realize.

For Layla Grace

2010-02-24T12:51:00.000-08:00

I made this angel for layla. Hoping it might put a smile on her face.This little girl has surely changed my life, everytime i look at my daughter, i will appreciate her for all of my wonderful days i have with her, as you never know what might happen tomorrow. Thank you for that layla. I wish peace and comfort for this little angel.

This doll will be replicated into an applique for a teeshirt design. I will be listing them for sale on my ebay to the custom boutique community. Im working on the applique design as we speak. This is sometihng we should all do to help this family, this family has struggled so much, lets help comfort them as much as we can, as im sure laylas medical bills and family expenses are far from being taken care of. Please visit www.laylagrace.org to read up on her story and to follow what is going on with her.
