Cancer has touched so many.








Think Pink!
This is for a challenge over on SCS Maryland anyone thread. Kimmie was the last challenge winner and she came up with this weeks challenge of Pink Ribbon. I decided to go ahead and get started on my Oct Breast Cancer Awareness cards. So this is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

With sadness in my heart I want to share this with you.
I just found out yesterday that my favorite High School Teacher lost his battle with cancer on Aug 26th. He was a really great teacher and the world lost a really good person. I'm sorry he is gone but hope he has now found peace. He was a gay man in small town middle America he never had an easy life. It's to bad that so many people missed out on knowing a really great person because of there own ignorance. Rest in peace Mr. W and know that I'm thankful that I got to know you. I hope your eternity is made up of what you enjoyed so much about life. I hope it's forever summer and you are soaking up some rays on the beautiful beaches of heaven.

More Halloween!









Yes more HALLOWEEN! I wanted to say THANK YOU to my Friend Jane who had me over for some stamp time a couple weeks back and we made these really cool tag books. She is one creative lady! We made Christmas tags at her house but of course I've been on this Halloween kick lately and just had to make some of these for Halloween gifts.
So again THANK YOU Jane for the inspiration! She doesn't have a blog or I would direct you all to her. Hope everyone is enjoying there long Holiday weekend. It was much needed around here. This was DS first full week of school and we are NOT morning people....yeah.
