As if the aisles of Target, with their pink clad frying pans and can openers, aren't enough . . .
The crazy dragonfly lady is putting out a little reminder that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Please take a minute or two today to do a self breast exam and if you're over 40 go get those mammies grammied! I am tired of cancer! Help a sister out by checking up on your own sisters, mothers and friends and passing this reminder along!
This fabulous pink pumpkin has now found a home at my friend Linnea's house. The fact that she is still here is reason enough for me to type the word breast a few times on my blog! Thanks to "On A Whim" for selling these pinkolicious pumpkins - 100% of the proceeds going directly to breast cancer causes.

Mammie those gammies? I love it! Thanks for doing the five things tag. It's so fun getting to know more about you!
Thanks for the reminder! Love those pink pumpkins.
At some point cancer touches everyones life. We need to be aware, need to self check, need to support those in the fight, need to donate to the cause, need to remember those who fought the good fight but didn't win. We need to be grateful for each day and love those we love most. At some point cancer touches everyones life.
Pink pumpkins are beautiful, so is the person holding one. So are the many women who've bravely fought breast cancer. So are the people who've loved and supported them during the fight. I echo your sentiment: think pink and grammy those mammies!
Thanks for the reminder! My mother-in-law is a breast cancer survivor so we are serious PINK lovers!
