Wordless Wednesday: Always Good News

AAM Monday: When It Snows, Play

While I did this card before this latest snow, one that is coming down as I write, I'll share it today.

Birthday girl had a visit from me last week, but as I unloaded the car with the various things going to my family, including magazines that get passed on to them, I realized that one specific bag was not there. The birthday bag was still in my house...sigh. So there was a return trip yesterday and I think this granddaughter might just get my older version of PSE. She seems to have the patience to deal with the concept of layers and might just add this to her skill set.  I don't think she has a clue as how many layers ARE on the card, but that is the joy of a template. You just add the colored parts. Any tweaking beyond that is up to the creator.

I think today will be a good day to get more pages done for my Spain and Portugal album. I am now seeing that it's going to be a larger album than I imagined, but that's ok. It took me long enough to start this one so...

By the way, that snow outside is coming down fast and furious. The flakes are very tiny but I think we will get the 8-14 inches they are calling for. I'm not overjoyed, as I have two doctors appointments cancelled, including a follow up mammogram. It's not a lot of fun having those hanging over your head but 'it is what it is.' Play is better than worry.

LetsDish Goes Pink

Breast cancer....no, no, I don't have it but I have a mammogram scheduled for next month. Trust me, they are not that bad, and for the most part women don't hurt other women if they can help it. I've never had a bad or mean technician in over 20 years of getting mushed. It's worth it and you're worth it. Some of us will find the big C as a new part of our life but that's what we can then have...Life. Life as a survivor.

But here's a nice idea to contemplate if you live in the Greater Baltimore/DC area.

Local food prep chain Lets Dish! has a Pink Dish promo. I quote...

This year, Let's Dish! has expanded its commitment to increasing breast cancer awareness. The mission for our Pink Dish! Campaign in the mid-Atlantic is to do what we do best - provide meals to those who need them – in this case supporting families living with breast cancer through the donation of healthy Let's Dish! meals at no cost. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 2008, we plan to provide meals to even more families, and we’ve created more ways to get involved. Take a look around our site to find out how you can be a part of the Pink Dish! Campaign.

Thanks to Aimee over at SmilingMama one of the Blogher attendees that I didn't meet...I don't think...for this inspiration. ;-)
