It's breast cancer awareness month..

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you who are fighting this or supporting someone who is. I have a grandmother who was a 55 year survivor, an special aunt who is, my mother will be on chemo for the rest of here life, but is holding her own. A special prayer for everyone who has lost someone to this. I look forward to the day when a guy doesn't go home and stamp out the guest book for his wife's funeral. There's a reason for a lot of pink shirts at our house.

Big AlC, To follow up on your suggestion and drop a challenge to everyone. We could have a raffle here easy enough. However you have planted a seed to have a bigger vision. What if each one of us made something and donated it to a local or regional cancer fundraiser? We could multiply a single fundraising effort 3000 or more times. Think of the impact there.

Very nice purse and thanks for the idea on the ribbon.

Will have to make some of the ribbons for the upcoming "Relay For Life"

By the way, my Mom is a survivor.

Well, the drawing was this morning, and after only a week or so of selling, $700 dollars was raised! Gonna get my butt in gear early for next year, imagine what a whole month could bring. The lady that won it was VERY happy, so it was a good day.

Congrats on a job well done.

Your post inpired me to make these ribbons for the honorees at the local Relay for Life fundraiser for the ACS.

good use of scrap and synthetic rivets.
