TEAL .... 1st auction ~ done!!

Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer!!






On April 22, 2011 we found out that I had Ovarian Cancer (just a couple months from bringing home our sweet Samson Jude from Ethiopia)... this day has changed our lives... we believe our Father God holds each of us in His hands and we will be held through this difficult journey. As of right now, I am waiting for my 5th chemo treament.



September is National Ovarian Cancer awarness month. The Ovarian Cancer Awareness Alliance and me are encouraging you to wear teal this month, but especially this first Friday in September which has been declared National Teal Day.




Teal has become the ovarian cancer community's color as pink is for breast cancer. The community wants to use the color to serve as a reminder that ovarian cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer death among women.




A simple way to wear teal is to join in the campaign "Teal Toes." Simply paint your toe nails using a teal colored nail polish. Wear sandals or flip flops to show off your 'teal toes'. When someone comments on your bright toes, use the opportunity to teach them about ovarian cancer. You may learn more by visiting OCNA


AND with that said...



Esther and I have been 'shopping' for some cute TEAL fabric to sew up into POPPY DIPS!!


I'm thinking I'll do auctions on the fabric... every few days a new one will appear!



these $$ will help with the every mounting medical bill pile!!



the fabric piece/photo will be posted...





Auction price will always start at $20 (no shipping charge)


by $5 increments


auction ending at bedtime 8pm central time same day as posted


You get to choose from the styles on the HOME page ~ any size...

Poppy Dip dress anyone?

So while time passes as my 'counts' continue to rise...




I'm going to do some sewing....




Just wondering if there is an interest in a POPPY DIP sale?




' thinkin first to middle of next week?!!

Thursday, August 11, 2011

Postponed.... again....



Today was my scheduled #4 treatment........... postponed until next week(again!)........ as my 'counts' are not where they should be. This is hard for me as I love schedules, lists, and checking things off........ so more bloodwork next week to confirm my body can take the 'treatment'. I KNOW without a doubt that God is in control and even rescheduling my life!


therefore:

I will remember...

littles! my sweet new niece and nephew
my crazy family!!



and the sandy get away that was planned over 3 years ago, when I had NO idea this would be my journey in life.



God is faithful and in Him I will trust.
