Fight Like a Girl!

Well, here is the finished project even though you can barely see it because of the reflection on my back window.  The colors don't show but it's a pink ribbon, white butterfly, and the world GIRL is done in pink.  I have been truly touched this month by the whole Susan G. Komen "Race For The Cure" and the Ford Warriors campaigns to find a cure for breast cancer.  In the past few months I've heard so many stories of cancer hitting both people I know and strangers via friends on Facebook.  It has touched my heart and has had me crying on many a night and I've been wanting to do SOMETHING for the cause since I missed the walk this year- but just wasn't sure what to do.  This is something I can proudly display on my car every day. It may not be much but it's my contribution to the cause.

Have a great day friends!
Chris

In honor....

I need your help guys!  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this month I have shed a lot of tears!  I know of some gals in my graduating class that have been battling this horrible disease, know of a guy in my graduating class that has been battling cancer, and seems like every day on Facebook I hear of another person who is fighting.  There have been blog hops on this issue, television movie after television movie, commercial after commercial.  I have been inspired!  Here is what I made to go on the back of my car- but can't decide between the two scripts for the word GIRL.  Can you guys help me out please?  I need your input!  Thanks!

Hallo Scream!

Hello happy people!
Here is my latest creation- a paper piecing from the wonderful files of Scrapping Bug Designs.  I was pretty intimidated by this file at first- the biggest paper piecing I have ever done!  But once I got started and playing around with it, it was a lot of fun to create.  This little creeper is currently hanging on my front door and looking fabulous!


Stay tuned for more.  I plan on doing some tropical winter stuff this weekend- just because!  Maybe some fall and Thanksgiving stuff as well.


I hope everyone is doing well!
Chris
