A long time ago, I told myself that I would try to remember everyday to thank God for everything I have in my life, and in some small way try to do better each day. I made a deal that it doesn't have to be grand all the time, just SOMETHING that may help or make someone's life easier. Sometimes I forget and think my life is difficult, and I am usually rudely reminded of the trials, tribulations, and horrors that others may be facing. So in my small teeny way I am trying to help some very kind blog friends spread the word about helping women with breast cancer, and donating something I made for the cause. You can read all the details here which came from MONICA of GIRL GONE THREAD WILD's blog. This woman has amazingly put together this project for the benefit of others... I implore you to visit her blog and read about this effort, and everyone involved, and do what you can. If you give just a little you will have a chance to win this bracelet that I have donated , and also so many other wildly amazing gifts from artists all over! I discovered Monica's blog through a new collage art friend, who has already fascinated me with her generousity, kindness, caring, and goodwill, and I think I have known her all of 2 days!! Marsha at Tumblefish Studio has confirmed again for me today that when I think things are tough....there is HOPE! Please make a small donation if you can and spread the HOPE. You all know me and my hope!! It works!!
