I Found It!!

I have been looking and looking for someone to give me a refresher course on how to sew. I enrolled in a class at Joann's that was cancelled (because they couldn't get someone to teach it). I have asked around and searched the Internet from time to time over the past two years. Well after all my searching I FINALLY found a place to learn how to sew and more!

Make Shop & Studio offers sewing, home decor and different crafting classes at reasonable prices. Make is located in a the Bishop Arts District which is only about 25 minutes from my house and has some great boutiques, art studios and restaurants. It is the perfect place to for someone like me to spend an afternoon getting decorating ideas. Oh yeah, I already have it scheduled in my day timer ;) They also offer private lessons for people who would prefer a more one on one approach.

I am so psyched! I am finally going to be able to finish the home decorating project that I began almost three years ago! I guess perseverance does pay off eventually. Woohoo!

Thankful Thursday

Thank you to all my friends at TELC! I am so thankful to work with such wonderful people who know the true meaning of what a friend is! Thank-you for all of your support and prayers for me and my family. It has really helped me get through these trying times to know I have friends that really care and are there for me. You are all a blessing to me.

Sincerely,

Join the MileStones Virtual Walk for 12,500

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, CureSearch is challenging you to “walk virtually” and show your support for children with cancer. A staggering fact - each year 12,500 children and their families hear the frightening words “your child has cancer”. These statistics could represent a child in your neighborhood, in your child’s school, on the neighborhood T-Ball team or… yes it could be a child in your own family. Join us throughout the month of September for a virtual walk in support of children with cancer and their families.

Did you know....
12,500 children are diagnosed with cancer each year
Of those diagnosed, 1 in 5 will not survive

Together we can reach the day when every child with cancer is guaranteed a cure
CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation exclusively supports the work of the Children's Oncology Group, the world's premier pediatric cancer research collaborative, treating more than 90% of children with cancer.

Ryan's 2nd Birthday Party!

My little man turned 2 years old on Sunday. Here are a few pictures of his birthday party I just have to share. First, here's Ryan flirting with his Auntie Alex...making his father proud ;)'

Mom trying to put on every one's party hats...

Mom & Dad helping Ryan blow out his candles...

Ryan absolutely loved this truck that Auntie Alex gave him...

One last picture of Ryan with his Mimi showing him how to use his new Winnie the Pooh watering can. He loves to help Poppy and Mimi in the garden.

All in all, I think Ryan enjoyed his 2nd Birthday. I know we all enjoyed watching him have a good time with family and friends. Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate, your being with us made the day even more special.

A Favour to Ask, It Only Takes a Minute....

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

AGAIN , PLEASE TELL 10 FRIENDS TO TELL 10.
