WELCOME

Hello,
Welcome to my Blog! Yes, I have been in the fight of my life against Leukemia, insomnia, depression, side effects of medications, molting skin, pooping my pants and this list goes on.... however, I still love my life, and that's what this blog is about Real Life. I hope to meet others who trails have brought them closer to the Lord and molded them for the next step in God's will. In January 2011 , my family, physician, and Be the Match was featured on a Fox 5 news story about bone marrow donors and transplants. In March, I was interviewed on Atlanta and Company along with Be the Match. I was chosen to sing the national anthem at the Be the Match Run last year and will also be doing it this year, along with some other songs. My team, no thanks to me, raised over $4,000 and raised more than any other team! Please join my team this year or consider donating here at the Run those Stem cells out ! Team I was also chosen for a patient advocacy panel for the international council meeting at Be the Match in MN in November. How exciting!! I ended up not being able to attend due to the relapse. I had hoped I could help raise awareness about how easy it is to sign up to be a donor and how many people need your help! Please go to bethematch.org and sign up! I was able to have my bone marrow (same as stem cell) transplant at the end of March thanks to a 22 year old donor oversees that I hope to meet her one day. As I came up on my 6th month mark and continued to add more normal activities to our lives, I relapsed, meaning that the that the cancer had mutated and the leukemia came back. I spent 2 more weeks at Emory and some other nights here and there and now I'm on a drug from the FDA. I have a compassion waiver so I am able to get it. I have to take it day by day sometimes hour by hour. Time keeps moving and my little girl is growing up. I'm lucky that I'm getting to see it. I continue to praise God for his wonderful blessings he has shown us including my wonderful husband Jonathan, baby girl Evalyn Rose, supportive family and friend, great medical care, new readers, and the chance to make a big difference, even if that means being a Lab Rat.
God Bless You!

Please read, comment, enjoy, learn, grow, LOVE LIFE.

Most Recently I have started a booth at a local consignment store with handmade jewelry from friends, crafts, and my own art from recycled materials. It is called DAY by DAY. God was very clear with me starting this. Please look over to the right of blog and click on Day by Day to see some pictures. I'm just getting started but I am taking orders from people that I know. You will be able to personalize items, etc. I just haven't decided how I will be selling them via internet yet. But for now, the jewelry is at A Weekend A'fair in Athens, GA and will hopefully be at some stores downtown soon.

Day by Day items

Some more Day by Day products. \ I can go ahead and start taking orders from those I know and trust. We can discuss what you would like via email or phone, there are a lot of personalized choices but you can also just buy the ones you see the pics of. I will figure out how to order online soon. The jewelry is not expensive, nor the folk wood pieces, and recycled earring holders. I'll have some more pics up soon of other things also, more wreaths (will also custom make), as well as more jewelry holders. Please give my products a chance, pretty much everything will be going to medical and medication bills.


Gotta get a better pic, but these are personalized with my daughters picture. 

Small earring holder with a box for earrings that are not hook. Clip ons and be put on  the side..... can also personalize one of these for the little girl in your life! 

My step mother Fay made these succulant planters, so easy to take care of  and I think the candle holder stand is awesome with it but it is sold separably. 

Air Plants, I found out about these at the monestary , they do not  need any soil and I found some of the cutest ideas for the terriums! Coming soon. These can also be shipped. 


Just some of the jewelry I have made out of mostly recycled, sometimes all, material. 



Not the best pic but you get the idea, how cute is this little plant that I can tough and hold becaue there is no soil. All you have to do is mist them 3 to 4 times a week and soak them once a month

I made this bracelet for Evalyn, but then decided to turn it into a necklace.  She loves the photos  on there.

There are matching earrings to go with this bracelet. 

Bottle caps on left side, made from recycled wood. 

Personalized magnets or chip cllips I made for my Dad for father's Day. 

Please email me at heather.cape@yahoo.com if you are interested in purchasing and/or personalizing items. Other pictures of items under the older posts under the labels to the right, Day by Day.




Air plants seem to be hard to take pictures of  sometimes. This one is make from a  used light bulb, sand, shells and coiled wire. I love personalizing them with small momentous. For example what are you doing with all those flatted pennies from vacation, or that broken necklace or watch piece of your grandfathers that is just sitting on the floor. 

Some of the air plants hang, other I  can use glass with holes in it, old bottles, wine corks, small jars. 



This is an example of a changable. The Georgia magnet on this bow and be switched to other magnets as you choose. I also do this with necklaces.
